Within its trade show participations,the Tourist Organisation of Podgorica, attends for the first time, the jubilee, 10th International Tourism Fair, PLACE2GO in Zagreb.

The director of TO Podgorica, Mrs. Irena Rogošić, said that it is a great pleasure that they are the host  of promotional activities for Montenegro, which is represented at the fair by the National Tourism Organisation, as well as local tourist organisations of Tivat, Bar and Herceg Novi.

For us, this destination is becoming more and more important by introducing a direct airline to Zagreb, which transports passengers and visitors, not only from Croatia, but it is also a transit for tourists from countries and cities throughout Europe, which we do not have direct air connections with. In the focus of our presentation at the fair, in addition to congress and cultural tourism, that are the main segments in the comprehensive tourist offer of the capital, there are also active forms of tourism and the rich gastronomic and wine offer of the Podgorica region. It is important to point out the biggest advantage of Podgorica, its geographical position. Tourists only need a 45 – minutes driving to the coast and the same time to the nearest, and most popular, ski center in Kolašin – said Rogošić.

She pointed out the importance of highway construction, precisely for the rapid transit of tourists throughout the country.

And due to the still insufficient hotel capacities in Kolašin, conditions have been created for tourists to be accommodated in Podgorica. They can go skiing during the day and to return to the city in the evening and enjoy food, drink and entertainment. Podgorica certainly does not have an expressed seasonality, so tourists can visit the city throughout the whole year, and it was declared by the British Mirror as one of the cheapest European destinations for drinks and food, and I would add also for shopping and entertainment – said the director of TO Podgorica.

During the fair, the Stand of Montenegro was visited by a large number of interested citizens, representatives of the media and business, and a prize game was organized within the Montenegrin stand.

The performance of the Montenegrin actor, Momcilo Otašević, was particularly interesting for all visitors.

The flight line from Zagreb to Podgorica is an ideal opportunity to get to Podgorica quickly. I recommend my friends to visit Montenegro because everything is close. Of course, I recommend them other attractionsas well, such as national parks and cultural sights. My Cetinje is an unmissable destination. The natural beauties are already world-famous and must be seen live. Everything is on time, Otašević said.

PLACE2GO is the largest tourism fair in Croatia and offers exhibitors the opportunity to present themselves, their products and services in a creative and interesting way. So far, over 700 exhibitors from 38 countries have appeared at the fair.

The Tourist Organisation of Podgorica, in cooperation with the National Tourist Organisation and other entities from the field of tourism, promoted the tourism offer of the capital city at the International Tourism Fair “Ferien Messe 2023” from March 16th to 19 in Vienna.

“Ferien Messe 2023” is the leading tourism fair on the Austrian market, which is visited by a large number of media companies and over 150,000 visitors every year. This year, the fair brought together more than 800 exhibitors from more than 70 different countries.

During the fair, visitors were informed about the entire tourist offer of Montenegro, but also enjoyed tasting Montenegrin specialties and wines. The atmosphere in Vienna was completed by the sounds of Budva City Music and the performance of the cultural and artistic society “Njegoš”.

Numerous visitors have already had the opportunity to stay in our country, and they said that they would be happy to visit Montenegro again.
