Although official data show that the season in Ulcinj is better than the previous one, they are not satisfied in Pristan and in the Old Town.
"I haven't registered yet this year (issued accommodation)," says a resident of Pinješ, whose house is a little more than 100 meters away from Mala Plaža.
Even the owner of the elite Palata Venezia hotel in the Old Town, Gani Resulbegović, does not hide his disappointment with the season.
"Some hotels in Ulcinjsko polje and on Velika plaža have significantly higher prices than ours, but they are full, and we are almost empty. You may be wondering why? Here I will tell you - the reason is the noise from the Pier, decibels well above the permitted, incomprehensible fireworks, prostitution, drugs, and there is no government or control," says Resulbegović, who is also the tenant of part of Mala Plaža.
He claims that the season so far is not at the same level as last year, neither at the beach nor at the hotel.
"This has nothing to do with tourism, our guests are running away from Mala Plaža. The problem is that only Gani Resulbegović will raise his voice and publicly say that the noise is ruining our image and tourism. Because this cannot come back to us well." he says bitterly.
According to data from the Tourist Organization two days ago, 24.623 guests are officially staying in Ulcinj, which is almost three percent more than last year.
Foreign tourists dominate, numbering 23.842, while domestic tourists number 521.
5.823 guests are currently resting in hotels, or 24 percent more than last year, 582 or 18 percent more in campsites, and 282 or five percent more in resorts compared to the previous year.
Private accommodation, where 17.576 tourists stay, recorded a minus of three percent.
