The beginning of the summer season in Kolasin has been characterized with good visit above all of guests who as a part of congress tourism took part in seminars and work shops which were organized in hotel Bianca – said the director of Tourist organization in Kolasin Markic Rakocevic.
We had a good visit of foreign guests in May, the French, the Germans, the Englishmen and the Russians who were staying in the National park Biogradska gora.
– Having in mind the fact that statistical data in the last few years indicate that the summer season, when we are talking about the visit, doesn’t fall behind the winter one, we can freely say that Kolasin no longer is just a winter center, but that it has a good winter and a good summer tourist season – said Rakocevic.
As for the activities of tourist organization preparations of the promotion of tourist offer of Kolasin are in process. In cooperation with the National and Regional tourist organization this year TO of Kolasin took part in numerous domestic and foreign tourism fairs.
These days we are terminating the promotional CD presentation of tourist potentials of the municipality of Kolasin. In the goal of a better promotion of the tourist offer of our municipality, beside the catalogues of hotel and private accommodation which we have made, we are planning to make promotional material, brochures, maps. Postcards, and leaflets – pointed out Rakocevic and added that in cooperation with other municipalities during the summer they are planning to organize festival which would last for several days and which would contain numerous events such as: food fair, souvenir fair, painting exhibition, photo exhibition, theater plays, as well as organization of sport recreational levents.
Comparing the statistical data about the number of overnight stays and the number of tourists who have visited Kolasin in the last few years it is visible that a guest in Kolasin stays in average two to three days. With organization of such events out of board offer would be improved with which the tourist would be kept longer in Kolasin. Beside that tourist organization in Kolasin has great cooperation with tourist agencies which in its program have excursion tours for Bjelasica, Komovi, Biogradska gora, canyon of Mrtvica, jeep safari over Bjelasica and Sinjajevina, photo safari, rafting on Tara, staying in eco summer pasture cottages on Bejlasica, and enjoyment in the specialties of Montenegrin national cuisine.
