Analysts say the policy could reshape hiring in the technology, finance, and consulting sectors. United States President Donald Trump signed a proclamation in Washington on September 19, 2025, introducing a $100,000 fee per year for companies sponsoring H-1B workers. The administration presented the charge as part of a broader shift to prioritize domestic hiring and to narrow use of the high-skill visa in entry-level roles.

June the 11th, 2026 – Camping in Croatia is apparently the most expansive in all of Europe, at least according to the latest Dutch research. Is it still worth the inflated price tag, however? For decades, camping was one of the most affordable ways to experience the Croatian coast. Families from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Slovenia would return year after year, pitching tents or parking caravans just metres from the Adriatic Sea. Camping became one of the foundations of Croatian tourism, particularly in Istria and Kvarner, where some campsites evolved into sprawling holiday resorts. Today, however, Croatia has earned

June the 11th, 2026 – From being the unfortunate poster child of overtourism to European role model – the truly impressive turnaround of Dubrovnik has had the eyes of the world on it, and the Telegraph is showering the city with praise. There was a time when Dubrovnik appeared on almost every list of places suffering from overtourism. Travel writers compared its woes to those suffered by the likes of Venice and Barcelona. Television crews filmed crowds squeezing through the Old City’s narrow streets. Cruise ships became symbols of everything critics believed to be totally wrong with modern tourism. For

June the 11th, 2026 – Croatian landlords are rethinking the Airbnb and Booking.com dream as the government hits them with new levies and taxes just before we enter the height of the summer season. Forget the American dream, for countless years, renting apartments to tourists up and down the coast and on the islands was the Airbnb dream for property owners. It truly seemed like one of the safest investments in Croatia. Property owners along the coast could earn in a few summer months what long-term rentals might generate over an entire year. Apartments were purchased specifically for short-term tourism,

June the 10th, 2026 – No longer manned, Croatian lighthouses (and there are very many) are re-purposing and starting to turn into luxury escapes. Across Croatia’s irregular and indented coastline, historic lighthouses, once built solely to guide sailors safely through rocky, choppy waters, are being reborn as some of Europe’s most exclusive boutique stays. What were once isolated maritime outposts are now attracting travellers looking for privacy, authenticity, and a rare sense of escape. Since the coronavirus pandemic, travel habits have changed markedly, and seeking peace, silence and something totally different is becoming the norm. This transformation is part of
