Croatia is the fourth best tourist destination in the world in 2010, as estimated by the most prominent tourist organizations and experts from the "ITB World Travel Trends Report 2010/2011", made for the world's largest upcoming travel stock exchange ITB in Berlin, in March this year. Only South Korea, China and Germany were more successful than Croatia in world tourism this year, which was ranked fourth thanks to a seven percent increase in the arrivals of foreign visitors. The first three countries were able to accommodate 28, 23 and 11 percent more foreign visitors than in 2009, respectively. Following Croatia is Mexico with an increase of five percent, which is the same percentage of growth recorded in tourism in the whole world this year. Given that Europe lags behind with such an increase, the success of Croatia is even greater.
