Despite consumer worries, the National Bank Governor, Boris Vujcic, believes euro adoption has protected Croatia from severe inflation. The euro adoption, along with Schengen Area membership, is expected to boost tourism, as noted by Dubravko Miholic of the Croatian National Tourist Board. Prices must still be displayed in the former currency, the kuna, until the end of the year to reassure consumers.
