Montenegro plans eco-tourism to retain its natural charm
06 December 2007
The latest plans unveiled by the Montenegro national tourism organisation aim to boost visitor numbers while retaining the natural beauty and charm of the country.
A number of eco-tourism measures have been announced, including a voluntary carbon-offset charge for hotel guests and promotion of nature-based tourist operations.
"Sustainability can mean many things to many people," commented tourism and environment minister Predrag Nenezic at the launch of the 2008 tourism plan.
"To Montenegro, it means projects that are appropriate to the setting, that in no way impair the precious gift of our incredible natural beauty, that meet a market need, are profitable and economically sustainable for the investor, and that create net social and ecological benefits for the citizens."
There are many cycling and hiking opportunities in Montenegro and these are to be developed over the coming months.
Another key strategy is to negotiate greater direct air access from key tourist markets so that visitors won't need to make stopovers on the way to their Montenegro holiday.
