Budva is facing the challenge of diversifying its tourist product in order to become a year-round destination. Through MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism and sports tourism projects, the city has the opportunity to improve its tourist offer and economic growth.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
MICE tourism represents the organization of business events such as conferences, congresses, seminars and exhibitions. This type of tourism has the potential to extend the tourist season, which would last from the end of August to the end of June, which would keep hotels and accommodation facilities busy throughout the year.
Key steps for the development of MICE tourism include the improvement of human and technical capacities. Sports tourism, which until now has not been sufficiently strategically developed, represents a huge potential for Budva.
The reconstruction project of the Pizana swimming pool, which will be transformed into an Olympic-type indoor pool, will enable the training of water sports throughout the year, as well as the arrival of sports teams for preparations and the organization of sports competitions.
WHY ARE THESE PROJECTS NEEDED BY BUDVA?
Budva is currently recognizable as a seasonal destination, with a focus on the summer period. However, for sustainable development, it is necessary to create conditions for tourism throughout the year. MICE tourism enables Budva to become a center of business events, while sports tourism attracts athletes and sports fans from all over the world.
WHAT DO THE PROJECTS BRING TO THE CITIZENS OF BUDVA?
The development of MICE tourism brings:
*Increasing occupancy of accommodation capacities throughout the year.
*Attracting business people and organizations.
*Creation of new jobs in tourism and catering.
The development of sports tourism brings:
*Possibility of training water sports throughout the year.
*Organization of sports events and tournaments.
*Promotion of healthy lifestyles among young people.
PISANA CONVENTION CENTER AND SWIMMING POOL
On the space intended for the construction of the congress center, a multifunctional facility will be built that will stop the illegal construction works of the controversial investor. This center will become a place for numerous business meetings, manifestations and cultural events, providing various contents to the citizens of Budva.
The reconstruction of the Pizana swimming pool entails the construction of an Olympic-type indoor pool, which will operate throughout the year. This project will enable young generations to train in water sports, organize sports events and increase sports tourism offer.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS
MICE and sports tourism projects bring significant economic benefits to Budva. Increased tourist visits throughout the year will result in higher revenues for the local economy. New facilities will attract investments, and higher occupancy of accommodation capacities will lead to the creation of new jobs in tourism and catering.
DEMOCORATES ARE THE ONLY ONES OFFERING PROJECTS
Electoral list "Democrats - Strengthen". Renew. Come alive. - Budva decides - Đorđe Zenović" stands out as the only one that offers concrete projects for the development of Budva. Their plan for the construction of a congress center and the reconstruction of the Pizana swimming pool represents a visionary approach that will transform Budva into a year-round destination.
THE LIST OF DEMOCRATS LEAD BY ĐORĐE ZENOVIĆ WILL CONSTITUTE THE NEW GOVERNMENT
This electoral list will, according to all relevant indicators, constitute the new government in Budva and be able to realize these projects. With a clear vision and concrete plans, Budva has a chance to develop into a high-profile tourist destination that attracts visitors throughout the year.
