Kordić - Borg meeting: "Montenegro's increasingly important role on the international tourism map"

Montenegro will host the 73rd meeting of the UN Tourism Commission for Europe next year, confirming the country's increasingly important role on the international tourism map.

This was assessed at a meeting between Tourism Minister Simonida Kordić and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Tourism of Malta, Ian Borg.

Borg congratulated Kordić on his successful leadership and chairmanship of the 72nd meeting of the UN Tourism Commission for Europe, which was held this year with the support of the Government of Malta, emphasizing the importance of cooperation and joint action within international tourism institutions.

"He also expressed satisfaction that Montenegro will host the 73rd meeting of the UN Tourism Commission for Europe next year, assessing it as confirmation of our country's increasingly important role on the international tourism map," the Ministry announced.

On this occasion, Kordić presented the strategic directions for the development of Montenegrin tourism in the upcoming period, with a focus on sustainability, authenticity and valorization of local identity.

During the meeting, they discussed air connections and possibilities for improving the connectivity between Montenegro and Malta, as well as better connections with other European destinations, with the aim of further developing tourist traffic and exchange.

Kordić particularly emphasized the importance of cooperation through Montenegro's participation in UN Tourism bodies, including the initiative to connect Europe and Asia, and invited the Deputy Prime Minister of Malta to visit Montenegro during the Interregional Forum of Europe and Asia, which will be held from October 11 to 14 in Montenegro.
