The Local Tourist Organization of the Capital says that they are pleased to support the study visits organized by NTOCG and that they hope that tour operators from Slovenia, after this visit, will include Podgorica in the itineraries for all future tours they will prepare for Montenegro. This time, we decided to present them the potentials of Podgorica in the segment of gastro and etno tourism through a visit to the local winery, said LTO Podgorica.

Tour operators have been presented with the offer of the hotels in Podgorica, one of them being hotel CUE. The hotel said that it has been a great pleasure to have an opportunity to be the host of the group of tour operators from Slovenia and to show them their capacity. This type of visits are important to us because, other than attracting guests to our hotel, at the same time they contribute to promoting Podgorica as a significant destination of Montenegro, located on an ideal position between north and south. We sincerely hope that we will agree to arrangements and sign contracts with them, and that we will soon welcome new guests from Slovenia. We will do our best to design attractive tempting packages, regardless of whether they are corporate / MICE clients or tourists who come on an active vacation, in order to have the best possible stay with us and have the desire to come to us regularly, said Mirjana Delic from the hotel CUE.

Matej Pajnik from Slovenian agency Galileo 3000 is satisfied with first impressions. Yesterday we toured Podgorica and saw two beautiful hotels and winery with Mr. Goran. We liked everything very much and I expect us to see more interesting things in Montenegro, so we hope to come back next time with a group of tourists, said Pajnik. Tour operators from Hungary are currently staying in Kolasin where they had a chance do get acquanted with offer of hotels there, as well as ski centers Kolasin 1600 and Kolasin 1450. Miklos Hoffmann from Hungarian agency 1000 UT said that the first time he visited Montenegro was in 2006.

First impressions are phenomenal, everything is interesting and new to me, and hotel Bjanka in Kolasin and the amount of snow that we saw left special impression on me, especially because in Hungary we didn’t have a chance to see this much snow in last couple of years. Montenegro has a potential for growth on the Hungarian market. For the next year, we plan programs for Montenegro in domain of cultural tourism, all depending on the situation with the flights, said Hoffmann. Tour operators from Hungary will today visit Podgorica and National park Skadar lake, after which a multi-day visit to coastal municipalities awaits for them.
