Montenegro's biggest airport reports booming tourist numbers
Tivat Airport, Montenegro's busiest, has reported a new record as tourist numbers continue to increase.
Last Saturday, its terminals handled more than 5,000 passengers for the first time in its history - in contrast to the same time last year when the circulation of travellers was 4,100.
The Visit-Montenegro website notes that 118,680 passengers passed through Tivat Aiport for the first five months of 2007 - an increase of more than 40,000 on 2006 figures.
Furthermore, the trend of growth looks set to continue as Montenegro becomes an increasingly popular holiday and property investment destination. Airport officials expect total passenger numbers for the year to hit somewhere between 550,000 and 600,000 travellers.
The Montenegrin destination of Budva might prove to be more busy than normal this weekend as British rock group the Rolling Stones arrive to play, as part of their A Bigger Bang tour.
