07.06.2023

Tourism is a highly important economic entity for Montenegro contributing a total of around 25% of its GDP, welcoming more than three times its overall population in foreign arrivals every year. Though one might consider it a country still in its infancy when compared to its counterparts, it’s consistent high ratings over the last few years have been highly successful with figures revealing strong growth both pre and post pandemic.

In terms of the UK market the National Tourism Organisation of Montenegro recently released their report for 2022, showing that there were 72,071 total visitors to Montenegro from the UK and that number is set to increase substantially in 2023. In fact, it was a record increase in 2022, given that between January and August there were 52,000 visitors from the UK, an 87% increase on the previous year. Globally, Montenegro received a total of 1.7m visitors in 2022, which was an increase of 25% from 2021 and 82% increase from 2019.

The good news for those wishing to travel to Montenegro from the UK, is that along with Wizz Air, Ryanair and Easyjet, Jet2 and Jet2.com announced its new routes from Manchester to Tivat, which having already started on the 1st May, will be in place right through the Summer season, ending at the end of October. Flights are taking place weekly on Monday’s and Thursday’s.

The CEO of Jet2, Steve Heapy, commented recently in the Bolton News that ‘feedback in the Northwest has been telling us that holidays to Montenegro are very much in demand and Montenegro is a destination that customers want to get to’. He added that ‘Since putting the service on people have been booking in their numbers’.

The Director of National Tourism of Montenegro, Ana Tripkovic Markovic was also reported to have commented on the new routes saying that ‘Last year they had about five times more tourists from the UK than in 2021 and we believe that the new routes by Jet2 will ensure such trends continue’.

• 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 !!!
