2014 became extremely lean for the tourism industry of Montenegro: for the first time the country retreated to the second place among the Balkan countries in terms of the number of tourists from Russia, having passed ahead of Serbia. At the same time, Russians are one of the most active travelers in Montenegro and the region as a whole.
Representatives of the local tourist industry recognize that vacationers from Russia in the past year decreased very significantly and understand that without reducing prices for hotels and other discounts in 2015, Russian tourist traffic may dry up altogether. The attempt to attract European tourists to the resorts of Montenegro did not justify itself: the exacting Western travelers are very reluctant to go to the Balkans.
In this regard, local hoteliers do not exclude a reduction in the cost of living for Russians. In turn, Minister of Tourism Branimir Gvozdanovich, it is possible, will also have an impact on local hotels and entertainment.
Note that traditionally mass for Russians directions are already looking for opportunities to attract Russians. So, Egypt and Turkey promised to reduce the cost of living in hotels for Russians on average by 20%. In addition, Egypt has decided to temporarily cancel the visa fee for tourists from Russia.
