The Croatian Blue Economy is dominated by Coastal tourism, which contributes to 75% of Blue Economy jobs and 75% to GVA in 2022. The tourism sector has almost entirely recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic (in 2019, the sector contribution to blue economy workforce was 77%, to the GVA was 79%). The employment within the sector is stable compared to 2021 in terms of contribution (75%) but nominally it has increased by roughly 7 000 units). The GVA contribution has decreased from 2021 (76%), although it has largely increased nominally (from €2.4 billion in 2021 to €3.1 billion in 2022).
Although Luxembourg is a landlocked country, it does participate in the blue economy in unique and strategic ways, particularly through its financial sector, satellite services, and maritime registry. Some relevant institutional bodies include the Maritime Affairs Commissioner, the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works and the Luxembourg Maritime Cluster (CML).
