Although their first guests arrived in mid-June, they expect a larger influx of tourists in Žabljak in the coming days.
Restaurateurs say that they have mostly filled their capacities for July, August and September, which corresponds to the situation from the record good year 2019, but since they had to lower prices due to the corona crisis, that the level of income will be at about 60 percent.
In the tourist organization, they note that in addition to the traditional guests, this year they also have guests from other parts of the world.
Waiting in line in front of the tourist desk and full parking lots even during working days are a sign of a good season in Žabljak, according to tourism workers.
They hosted the first tourists in mid-June, and they hope for a larger influx in the coming days.
In one of the hotels that provides high-quality service, guests change a lot, so they have expanded their capacities, while in the other, smaller one, they will welcome visitors in about 10 days.
The owners of private accommodation notice that the uncertainty due to the corona crisis is still ongoing, so the accommodation is booked only a few days before the arrival, and not like in previous seasons when they knew what they were in for half a year in advance.
However, based on the first visits, they can do the math.
The tourist organization expected most guests from the region, but they were pleasantly surprised by foreigners and tourists visiting Žabljak for the first time.
Director of the Tourist Organization (TO) Žabljak Vanja Šarović points out that on the occasion of the international triathlon competition, which they are organizing for the first time this year, around 150 athletes will stay in Žabljak for several days.
This season, however, they cannot boast of new tourist products.
On offer are: hiking, rafting, fishing, canyoning, cycling, paragliding, vacation in untouched nature and enjoying national specialties.
The Black Lake is an unmissable place.
The fact that the snow still remains on some peaks is a pleasant sight for the eye, but at the moment it is dissuading tourists from recreation in the mountain, which caterers are obliged to warn them about.
