Leisure travellers head to Montenegro
A growing number of foreign leisure travellers are taking holidays in Montenegro, new figures have revealed.
According to government statistics, more than 610,000 tourists visited the eastern European country between January and July, reports Focus on Travel News.
This is 5% higher than the amount recorded over the same period of the previous year.
Figures from the tourism ministry also showed that there was a 7.9% increase in the number of overnight stays in Montenegro during this time.
This suggests that the country's rental market is benefiting from higher visitor numbers, as it is creating extra demand for temporary lodgings in many areas.
Ivana Bulatovic, a PR adviser at the tourism ministry, commented: "Tourist product has diversified and there is an increasing interest for mountain, nautical, health, religious, congress, as well as other types of tourism."
Earlier this year, the tourism sector was boosted when Montenegro Airlines began operating a twice-weekly service between Tivat and London's Gatwick Airport.
