Montenegro's Tivat Airport continues to break new traffic records
Tivat Airport, Montenegro's busiest, has reported a new record of handling over 7,000 passengers in the space of a single day.
In recent months, the airport has regularly attained new records for passenger volumes, reflecting the growing popularity of Montenegro as a tourist resort and property investment destination.
Last Saturday, 7,166 passengers travelled through Tivat airport, of which 4,094 were travelling into the country - a 20% increase on figures for the same time in 2006, the Visit-Montenegro.com website reported.
MA Ranko Boksovic told the Vijesti news provider that this figure could have been larger, but for some extenuating circumstances, including delays caused by a jam necessitating the diversion of two aircraft carrying 630 passengers to Podgorica.
According to the World Airport Guide, Montenegro is "one of the world's hidden secrets", featuring 117 beaches.
"Now this tiny republic plans to put itself firmly back on the map," the guide states.
