Montenegro’s Tourism Minister Simonida Kordić met newly appointed Porto Montenegro Executive Director Andrea Eggers to discuss tourism development, investment potential and possible new projects. Kordić described the project announcements as an “important signal” to other renowned international investors.
The talks also covered Porto Montenegro’s future investment plans. Eggers said Montenegro had significant potential and opportunities for new investment and further development, making it an attractive destination for international investors.
Kordić highlighted the northern region’s considerable but underused investment potential, saying it could support new tourism offerings and sustainable use of natural resources. She identified MICE tourism, including congress and business tourism, and health tourism as areas with significant scope for new investment.
Kordić said diversifying the tourism offer and positioning Montenegro as a year-round destination were strategic priorities for the state. Eggers described the Interregional Forum of Europe and Asia and the investment conference as highly productive and congratulated Kordić on organising events important to Montenegro’s international positioning and presentation of its investment potential.
The Ministry of Tourism organised the forum and conference in cooperation with the United Nations. Kordić and Eggers concluded that continued public-private dialogue, attracting quality investment and developing new tourism products were important conditions for improving competitiveness and achieving sustainable development in Montenegro’s tourism sector.
