Debra John — November 7, 2025The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has partnered with the Zagreb Tourist Board to strengthen sustainable tourism and environmental stewardship within Croatia’s capital. This collaboration supports Zagreb’s vision of becoming a 'Sustainable City,' where tourism development harmonizes with ecological preservation and community well-being.
