In line with the current promotional campaign, the webinar titled "Montenegro's Call for Adventure - Uncover your wild side" was an opportunity to present the advantages of Montenegro as a tourist destination, main attractions, cultural heritage, extraordinary nature, luxury hotels, as well as possible arrangements, with a focus on family vacations.
At the invitation of flydubai, the webinar, which was organized in the form of an online presentation, was attended by nearly 100 travel agents from the UAE, who had the opportunity to learn about the potential of Montenegro as an attractive holiday destination.
The presentation was opened by representatives of the flydubai company, who presented their company and the exact flight schedule to Montenegro, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with their Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. This was followed by an introduction to the tourist offer, and Director of the Montenegrin Convention Bureau within the framework of the National Tourist Board of Montenegro, Aleksandra Maksimović, presented the overall offer of the destination, and Isidora Dabović from the Embassy of Montenegro in the UAE has clarified the current visa regime for UAE citizens and residents in Montenegro.
Additionally, during the event, representatives of agencies and luxury hotels, certified members of the Montenegrin Convention Bureau, had the opportunity to present their offers and suggest possible itineraries for a family vacation.
Jeyhun Efendi, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations and E-Commerce at Flydubai, He pointed out that the airline established flights to Tivat back in November 2017. According to him, since then they have recorded constant demand from passengers from the United Arab Emirates, and Tivat has become a very popular destination within the summer seasonal flight schedule, thanks to its picturesque landscape and diverse vacation opportunities.
“Tivat is served by four flights a week this summer, offering passengers from Dubai, the Middle East and Southeast Asia a comfortable and convenient journey to this destination. We look forward to continuing to drive interest in travel to this city and enabling more people to explore the Montenegrin coast – not only from the UAE, but also from India, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. Since our inception, we have been committed to expanding our network, opening up under-connected destinations and enabling the free flow of goods and tourism. Today, we fly to more than 135 destinations in 58 countries and have connected Dubai with 35 destinations across Europe, including Tivat in Montenegro,” said Efendi.
Director of the National Tourism Organization of Montenegro, Dr. Ana Tripković Marković, emphasizes the importance of direct air routes for tourist traffic from the Middle East market:
"The Middle East market is one of the significant non-European markets for Montenegro, and a direct flight from Dubai represents a crucial link towards strengthening the recognition of the destination and attracting tourists from that market. We are particularly pleased with the great interest shown by agents from the UAE during the webinar, which clearly indicates that they recognize the potential of Montenegro and the opportunities it offers as a luxurious, dynamic, authentic and increasingly attractive destination for this target group. We believe that the efforts invested will significantly contribute to a greater number of tourist arrivals from the UAE, but also to the continued strengthening of economic and cultural ties between the two countries. NTOCG will continue to develop cooperation with flydubai, with the aim of further promoting our country as a destination that offers a unique experience and high quality service," concluded the Director of the National Tourism Organization of Montenegro.
NTOCG will continue with promotional activities in the Middle East market in the coming period, with the aim of further increasing tourist traffic and positioning Montenegro as an attractive destination for tourists from this region.
