Adria Signal · source roles

Which source supports each part of the analysis

The current public website snapshot contains metrics derived only from HTZ/eVisitor and DZS. The complete and regional editions draw on a wider range of sources, listed here without attaching unsupported public metrics or dates.

Read the methodology Review the editorial policy

Public snapshot: HTZ/eVisitor and DZS

Finding: Every figure in the current public website snapshot comes from an HTZ/eVisitor or DZS series.
Evidence: Each metric retains its series name, period, data coverage, status, and retrieval records in the versioned evidence file.
Decision implication: Follow the metric reference when checking a public figure; do not attribute it to a wider source used elsewhere in the edition.

The complete Brief uses additional context sources

Finding: The complete Croatia Tourism Brief uses DZS price and connectivity series, Eurostat aviation data, and ECB reference rates.
Evidence: Open-Meteo appears in the edition’s methodology inventory for weather context but has no metric in the current public website snapshot.
Decision implication: Cite an additional source only beside the display that uses it, never as support for an unrelated HTZ or DZS public metric.

FINA-related data belong to regional editions

Finding: FINA-related company data are used only in regional views of accommodation and food-service businesses.
Evidence: Their coverage combines accommodation and food service, so it is not read as a hotel count or national tourism traffic.
Decision implication: Use these data as regional business context and state that they are outside the current national public snapshot.

Attribution does not imply endorsement

Finding: The institutions and services whose data are cited are not editors, reviewers, or sponsors of Croatia Tourism Brief.
Evidence: Adria Signal documents origin and limitations; the publisher and editor remain responsible for selection and interpretation.
Decision implication: Assess a claim through its evidence and method rather than the reputation of the source name beside it.
