The National Tourist Organization of Montenegro organized a three-day study visit at the beginning of August as part of the cross-border IPA project “Cultural Renaissance from Lake Skadar to Kosovo (Time Travel),” which is implemented with the support of the European Union.
The project aims to improve sustainable tourism by valorizing less-known cultural sites and jointly promoting the Montenegro and Kosovo region as an authentic destination rich in heritage, the National Tourist Organization (NTO) announced.
“This study visit brought together key tourism stakeholders to present the project’s results and promote the new thematic cultural tourism product developed within the ‘Time Travel’ project,” the National Tourist Organization highlighted.
During the visit, in Podgorica, Rožaje, and Petnjica, three of the five new thematic trails developed in Montenegro were presented. Participants had the opportunity to directly explore the cultural and historical trails designed to follow the traces of the rich past of this cross-border area, from ancient times, through the Middle Ages and the Ottoman period, to more recent history.
A study visit to Kosovo is planned by the end of August, as is the public presentation of the new tourism product, supported by promotional tools such as a joint web platform and a brochure that will be distributed.
The project is implemented by CDF, the Municipality of Klina, the Center for Sustainable Tourism Initiatives (CSTI) from Podgorica, and the NTO.
