This year’s season has started better than expected and I can already say revenues from tourism would reach EUR 1,100,000,000, estimates co-owner of the Montenegro Stars Hotel Group and president of the Montenegrin Tourism Association, Žarko Radulović.
According to him, this would a record-breaking year for tourism in Montenegro. We would manage to generate much more revenues if only some things were arranged, Mr Radulović clarifies for Pobjeda daily.
“I mean primarily on fiscal discipline and then on the unfair competition. In addition, coastal towns must be fashioned after the high-end tourism destinations,” Mr Raduloić notes.
As for the expectations from summer tourism season, he says everything goes better than they have been expecting.
Tourists are coming even earlier than last year. According to him, that’s a sign Montenegro has entered the Western Europe market.
“This means that companies and other associations which were traditionally going to some other destinations now spotted Montenegro and arrivals are going to increase in the forthcoming period,” says he, emphasizing that this means winter season will be even better!
The number of new flights is continuously increasing and that’s what brings tourists. “The number of announced flights is almost the same as last year. There’s somewhat lower number of those from Russia which we certainly expected but still we’re satisfied.”
