Following the tourist trends, and in order to better present and brand the tourist offer of the Capital, the Tourist Organization of Podgorica presents a new visual identity.

At the session held on March 30, 2022, the Executive Board of the Tourist Organization of Podgorica unanimously chose a new logo in relation to the peculiarity and modern character of that graphic solution, which with a unique visual expression and accompanying narrative illustrates Podgorica as a dynamic and modern destination.

The author’s inspiration for the development of the basic logo was the Moraca pebble, recognized as an authentic symbol of Podgorica’s history, nature and architecture. In this part, the logo is enriched ideologically and stylistically, emphasizing the English word “GO” in a blue pebble in the PodGorica print, which is a modern and innovative element that brings dynamism, pointing to the tourist potential and promotion of Podgorica as a new destination.

By further elaboration of visual identity in the form of pictograms and other accompanying promotional materials that can be used separately, the proposed solution shows the richness of various natural and cultural contents in Podgorica and its surroundings, which is an additional element that offers many possibilities for future application and better positioning and visibility of Podgorica as a tourist destination.

This project refers to the valorization of Komovi and includes the development of an eco-itinerary for the Komovi Regional Park, as well as the development of promotional printed and video material, and is funded by the Regional Cooperation Interreg MED.

After a tour of Podgorica, during which they visited the Public Institution of Museums and Galleries, the archeological site of Duklja and Stara Varoš, a two-day tour of Komovi was organized.

The most widely read French regional newspaper “Ouest France” published an affirmative article about Montenegro, which describes the natural beauties and cultural sights of our country.

The National Tourist Organization of Montenegro hosted the journalist of this prestigious newspaper Yves Hardy, who conveyed positive impressions from Montenegro to the readers of this French newspaper.

As he points out, Montenegro, with only 630,000 inhabitants, offers a whole range of offers for quality vacations.

“The small country, a favorite on the Adriatic coast, has several natural gems such as the Bay of Kotor and Lake Skadar. Whether you come by boat from the Croatian city of Dubrovnik or from the mainland, the Bay of Kotor will undoubtedly give you a view of the most beautiful fjord in the southern Mediterranean “, the article reads.

During his stay in the destination, Hardy had the opportunity to visit the northern, central and southern regions. After visiting Kolašin, Biogradska gora National Park, Cetinje, he also visited tourist sites in the area of ​​Perast, Kotor, Budva and Bar. His tour of the coast included everything from the luxurious offer of Sveti Stefan, Luštica and Porto Montenegro to the peaceful fishing village of Bjelila.

“Those with a ‘deep pocket’ find their ‘hidden corner’ on the Sveti Stefan peninsula or anchor their luxury yachts in the Porto Montenegro marina. Those who still want something else, far from the jet set, decide to walk through the small fishing village of Bjelila, get to know the capital of Cetinje or visit one of the five national parks of incredible beauty “, the article reads.

He described Skadar Lake as a huge body of water surrounded by the most beautiful greenery, where pelicans are the hosts. He says that Bar can be recognized by the olive tree that is over 2,200 years old, as well as by the cobblestones and streets in the Old Town, while in the north stands out Kolašin and NP Biogradska gora with its wild nature.

In addition to cultural and historical sights and natural beauties, Hardy had the opportunity to enjoy the gastronomic offer of Montenegro. Before returning to his country, he visited the Šipčanik wine cellar, where he tasted Montenegrin wines of the company “13. July – Plantations ”.

Ouest France is the most widely read regional daily in France, with a circulation of around 700,000 a day. It is expected that this announcement will contribute to the promotion of Montenegro as a tourist destination on the French market. Local tourist organizations from Kolasin, Cetinje, Tivat, Kotor, Budva and Podgorica, hotels “Splendid Conference & Spa” and “Bianca Resort & Spa”, as well as companies “Lustica bay” and “Porto Montenegro” also gave their support in organizing the study visit of the French journalist.
