Although the tourist economy of the city of Budva brings more than half of the total income from tourism to the budget of Montenegro, the attitude of local and state authorities towards businessmen is not what they deserve, and it is difficult to expect that it can be different, considering that the officials who make decisions have never dealt with tourism", he said. is Ivan Kentera, a candidate for alderman from the Pokret za Grad list.
According to them, tourism is an increase in the number of overnight stays or the number of registered guests, and not a satisfied guest who will return to Budva or Montenegro.
"In the previous period, the local administration and public services and companies did nothing to improve the business environment in Budva, while the levies paid by businessmen are increasing year by year, and at the same time, nothing was done to facilitate business.
