Tivat in Trouble: Fewer Tourists Than Last Year!
Looks like summer in Tivat is losing its shine. The latest data shows that the number of tourists in Tivat dropped by 5% compared to the same period last year. Yes, you read that right – fewer tourists! While everyone else is boasting about tourism growth in the region, Tivat is struggling with a decline in visitors.
Where Did the Tourists Go? Most tourists stay in private accommodations – a whopping 5,760, almost all foreigners. Hotels hosted only 1,090 tourists, and campsites and resorts saw even fewer visitors. The majority of tourists come from Serbia (1,710), Russia (1,060), the UK, Turkey, and Ukraine. Visitors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Germany, the USA, and Israel are fewer in number.
What Does This Mean for Tivat? These figures clearly show that Tivat has a problem attracting tourists, especially in hotels and campsites. Private accommodation leads, but it’s not enough to make up for the overall drop in visitors. Is this a sign that Tivat’s tourism offer needs a serious shake-up?
Why Does It Matter? Tourism is one of the main pillars of Tivat’s and Montenegro’s economy. A drop in tourist numbers can seriously impact the local economy, jobs, and tourism revenue. If the trend continues, the question is how long Tivat can maintain its status as a popular destination.
Conclusion Tivat is at a crossroads. Will it manage to fight off the decline in tourists or lose the race to competitors? One thing is clear – it’s time for serious changes and innovations in the tourism offer.
