Montenegro airlines now scheduled from Gatwick

2008-08-05

You might not have even heard of Montenegro; but if you haven't, now's the time ot surf the web or pop inbto your local travel agent to find out more. That's because British visitors to Montenegro can now take more affordable scheduled flights from Gatwick airport, instead of having to fly chartered, or via Croatia. This bodes well for the country’s booming tourism industry.

This small country sandwiched between Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovenia and Albania has a long coast line on the Mediterranean, and The World Travel and Tourism Council has predicted that it will become the fastest growing travel and tourism economy in the world. More direct flights from the UK to Montenegro must surely take it a step closer to achieving this.

This year, The Montenegrin Ministry of Tourism says tourism has grown six percent on the same period last year. According to estimates, there will be a 13 percent increase on the  1.15 million tourists that visited Montenegro last year, taking this years number of tourists up to 1.3 million.
