Tourism in Montenegro: A Flourishing Sector

11.01.2024

Montenegro, a gem nestled in the heart of the Balkans, has been witnessing a remarkable growth in its tourism sector, as the official stats show. This scenic country, known for its breath-taking landscapes ranging from rugged mountains to serene beaches, has become an increasingly popular destination for travelers around the world.

According to the latest data from Montenegro's statistical office, there was a significant uptick in the number of foreign tourists visiting the country in November. The figure rose by 15% year-on-year, reaching 46,145 visitors. This increase is not just in the number of arrivals; the total number of tourists staying in Montenegro during November also saw a similar 15% increase, totalling 54,468.

An interesting aspect of this growth is the surge in tourist overnights, which grew to 138,429 in November, up from 123,457 in the same month the previous year. This indicates not only a higher number of visitors but also a longer duration of stay per visitor, suggesting that tourists are increasingly finding Montenegro an appealing place to spend more time.

The diversity of tourists visiting Montenegro is notable. Visitors from Germany lead the pack, accounting for 17% of all tourist overnights. They are followed by tourists from Serbia and Türkiye, with 8.8% and 8.7% shares, respectively. This variety in tourist demographics highlights Montenegro's universal appeal, catering to a range of preferences and interests.

Montenegro's allure lies in its varied landscapes, and this is reflected in the distribution of overnight stays. Seaside resorts, known for their stunning Adriatic coastlines, are the most popular, attracting a whopping 70% of all overnight stays. The capital city of Podgorica, with its unique blend of modernity and rich history, draws 21% of overnight stays. Not far behind are the serene mountain resorts, claiming 4.1%, and other resorts make up the remaining 4.5%.

The increase in tourism is a boon for Montenegro's economy, bringing in revenue and creating job opportunities. It also underscores the country's growing reputation as a must-visit destination in Europe. With its mix of natural beauty, historical sites, and vibrant culture, Montenegro is poised to continue its upward trajectory in the tourism sector. As more people discover its charms, the country can expect to see even more growth in this industry in the coming years.

• In period May-August 2022 we sold our flats in St-Petersburg Russia and  have bought two  ones here in Montenegro, Becici. We decided to move here and make new home and business with my husband. Our agent Milica Zugic  is really became our angel - provider here in Montenegro. She is very reliable, responsible , professional  employee of CMM Budva department. She has developed intuition and found very fast necessary properties which we needed. Also she helped us to speed up the process of registration documents in MUP.( list nepokretnosti, etc). She was our real provider here. Very appreciated her and all staff of Budva department for there assistance. Separately to lawyer Ivan and his legal team. Very recommended choose Milica Zugic as real estate manager when you search for assistant in this complicated and important field as buying property in Montenegro.

• At the beginning of April 2022, our family living in Prague bought a house in Sutomore with the assistance of your company.
  Let me express my gratitude to the management of your company for the service provided, and especially to your employees - Anastasia Zeyak, Alexei Grachev and Elena Bozhovich for their attention, patience and even care for the whole time of buying real estate and the services provided after the purchase.
  I would really like all companies to work with the same quality of service. After coming into contact with this kind of attitude towards the client, all our environment, if necessary, will refer to your company only.
  With gratitude on behalf of our family.

• Based on my experience with CMM in Budva, Montenegro, I can say that they are reliable, fast, and they deliver what they promise. They take really good care of their clients. For instance, I was offered a lift from the airport, and they would take me back and forth from Tivat to Budva and Becici to see various properties. They would answer all of my questions and respond promptly. They have an excellent team: Katarina, Alexander, Natasha, Martin and some other guys whose names I don’t remember. Katarina, my wonderful agent, went to every length to help me find a perfect home. Unfortunately, my situation changed and I had to postpone my relocation to Montenegro.
  I would strongly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a property in Montenegro.

• We were introduced to CMM by friends who had already done research on Montenegro and CMM. We purchased our apartment in Dobrota, just outside Kotor, all remotely from South Africa, during the lockdown. Everything was seamless without any problems at all. All the CMM departments work together well from the sales team, head office, legal, interior design and rental department. Every detail was well communicated with an abundance of zoom meetings, videos, emails etc
  We are thrilled with the outcome and enjoyed working with the CMM team. They were incredibly professional.
  After sales service is also excellent as we move into the rental phase of the apartment and over all management of the apartment including maintenance.
  We have been directly and indirectly involved with many houses/apartments all over the world and this was the up there with the best service we have received.
  Thanks to everyone we dealt with at CMM it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you all. We look forward too many happy years working with you on our rental.

• Last year we decided to find a new home close to the sea. It was quite difficult in the beginning to make the right choice. Once we found CMM Company was a great luck! We immediately received detailed consultation on the country and purchase opportunities. Being attracted by Kotor - one of the most amazing parts of the coast, we decided to take a family trip and maybe make our dream of new home come true. As just discoverers of Montenegro, we were accepted like at home which was a one more pleasant surprise. The most important, we received all detailed information about country regions and procedure of buying property during the first few days. And how beautiful the car journeys were! Difficult choice, but when you find the home you want you can't refuse it. CMM did best to help us with this finding! All the purchase procedure passed well with CMM professional work! Now we are happy owners of a wonderful house with a Kotor bay view, being perfectly served by CMM Management company (of course, we've chosen CMM as professional house manager). Hope our friends and relatives would also move to Montenegro with the CMM help soon !!!
