German tour operators are interested in bringing tourists to Montenegro, saying that our country is an ideal destination for hiking and beach holidays.
As announced, the National Tourism Organization of Montenegro (NTO CG) organized a study visit by tour operators from Germany, and it is a visit by representatives of seven important tour operators: Wolff Ostreisen, Women Fair Travel, Fototouren, SPD Reiseservice, Lupe Reisen, Retroreisen and Highlander Reisen.
Although most of the visiting tour operators did not previously include Montenegro in their offers, they are now considering the possibility of adding Montenegro to their itineraries.
During their stay in the destination, they had the opportunity to visit Budva, Cetinje, Kotor, Ulcinj, Bar, Kolašin and Podgorica, the national parks of Biogradska gora and Lake Skadar, and to familiarize themselves with the diverse tourist offer.
Christoph Winkels in front of the tour operator Highländer Reisen, which specializes in mountain tours, points out that he came to Montenegro to find out which are the best places for hiking.
– It is beautiful, in addition to beautiful beaches and mountains, you have a lot of cultural heritage. Montenegro has a great combination of mountains and sea, and you can’t find that often in Europe – said Winkels.
The representative of tour operator Lupe Reisen, Axel Neuhaus, is of a similar opinion, and points out that they are interested in sending guests from Germany to Montenegro.
– Nature is very interesting, it is very nice to stay here and have contact with your country. I saw impressive old cities with thousands of years of history – said Neuhaus.
In order to network our economy with the German market, the NTO of Montenegro organized a business workshop where about 40 Montenegrin tourism entrepreneurs were present.
According to the representative of the strategic partner NTO Montenegro, the company Air Montenegro, Montenegrin national the airline will seriously consider an offer for the German market for the coming year.
– We have decided to seriously think about the offer for the German market for the next year. We have a regular line to Frankfurt, which for now we maintain only during the summer season, from the beginning of April to the end of October, but for the next season we would expand to more destinations. For now, Munich, Dusseldorf and Hanover are in play, so we will decide depending on the interest of German tourists. We will make our offer to connect with more cities in Germany during the summer season, in order to bring Montenegro closer to the German public – said Tatjana Dabović in front of the Air Montenegro company.
Olivera Krivokapić, representative of the Trend Travel agency, said that German tour operators are interested in Montenegro.
– The representatives of the first agency I spoke with are delighted that we prepared everything and that we brought everything in German. We are willing to organize and offer everything they want, and all they have to do is choose Montenegro – said Krivokapić.
