Mali responded to the U.S. Department of State’s new visa program by saying it will require American tourists or business travelers who wish to enter the country to deposit a maximum amount of $10,000 in cash to secure a visa. This mirrors restrictions the U.S. Department of State put on Malian nationals with respect to obtaining a B-1/B-2 visa. This was announced on Oct. 12, 2025 – only 48 hours after the U.S. Department of State introduced its new Visa Bond Pilot Program which requires all Malian nationals wishing to obtain a B-1/B-2 visa to pay a bond of $5,000 to $10,000

South Africa’s Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber introduced a national Electronic Travel Authorisation to industry leaders, confirming a phased rollout that begins ahead of G20 events. User acceptance testing starts at the end of September, with the pilot going live in mid October for accredited delegates arriving from China, India, Indonesia, and Mexico at OR Tambo and Cape Town International. The department’s plan is to extend access to ordinary tourists from these four countries once the G20 leaders meeting concludes in late November. Officials say that, after stability is proven, the ETA will become the single front door for tourist

The White House has moved to overhaul the H-1B system by attaching a $100,000 yearly charge to each sponsored worker. 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. Officials familiar with the plan said the fee is intended to be annual, with discussions indicating it

April the 17th, 2026 – Zagreb Cathedral re-opens its doors to visitors following long and very extensive post-earthquake works, reaffirming its importance on the capital’s cultural scene. There’s a joke that often goes around about how Zagreb Cathedral is forever under some sort of construction. It’s true, there have been works going on for… well… a long time. The earthquake that shook the capital back in March of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic also raged didn’t help matters, with severe damage occurring to the iconic structure and as such, even more works needing to be carefully carried out. After six long years,

April the 17th, 2026 – Dalmatia has cemented its status as a leading nautical destination at the recently held Dalmatia Boat Show. As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, sunshine, the sea, and over 200 vessels, including the most luxurious yachts of all. All of the above solidly confirms that central Dalmatia has become an indispensable point on the nautical tourism map of Europe and indeed the world. The third edition of the popular Dalmatia Boat Show, an international nautical fair, was recently opened in Marina Baotić in Seget Donji. At first glance, it’s perfectly clear that the fair has established itself as a serious

April the 17th, 2026 – A new inflationary shock is on the cards for Croatia, and the question is how long it will last given that March levels exceeded preliminary estimates. As Poslovni Dnevnik/Ana Blaskovic writes, the refinement of the March inflation calculation showed that price increases across the Eurozone managed to exceed preliminary estimates. Predictably, this was “god-fathered” by energy, as its supply shock began being incorporated into a whole range of other prices. As such, last month, the general price level measured by the harmonised index (HIPC) across the Eurozone accelerated to 2.6% on average, compared to the initial

April the 16th, 2026 – The beautiful Keight Hotel Opatija hosted journalists and guests on its beautiful Rooftop terrace on the occasion of an exceptional recognition – winning the Connie Award, Hilton’s most prestigious award. The event was attended by numerous guests, including the Deputy Prefect of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Toni Štimac, the Mayor of Opatija Fernando Kirigin, the Director of the Opatija Tourist Board Suzi Petričić, the Director of the Rijeka Tourist Board Petar Škarpa and the Director of the Matulji Municipality Tourist Board Marijana Kalčić. On this very special occasion, they congratulated the hotel on winning the Connie Award and

April the 16th, 2026 – Revenues are increasing, but Croatian tourism still has an enormous problem, with the sector still fragile. As tportal/Zoran Korda writes, the latest data from the Croatian National Bank has revealed a trend that may seem deceptive at first glance: income from foreign tourists is definitely growing, but Croatian tourism is losing ground in real terms. At the same time, Croats are increasingly spending money outside the country’s borders, which only highlights the structural weaknesses of the entire sector. Back in 2025, income generated from foreign guests reached an encouraging 15.3 billion euros, which is a nominal increase
