Hotels in Kolasin and Mojkovac - Montenegro Travel agency „Adria Line”, 13 Jul 1, 85310 Budva, Montenegro Tel: +382 (0)119 110, +382 (0)67 733 177, Fax: +382 (0)33 402 115 E-mail: [email protected], Web: www.adrialine.me Hotels in Kolasin and Mojkovac - Montenegro Kolasin For several decades Kolasin has positioned itself as an ideal destination, not only because of what town has to offer, the environment, the natural beauty of mountains, rivers and lakes, the altitude of 960 metres, but also because of its geographical and traffic position. Just and hour’s drive from Podgorica makes a world of difference climate here is much colder while the forests around the town generate a pleasant cool breeze. The hottest summer days are easy to bear, while in the winter there is plenty of snow of the mountains. Just staying in this area it provides all the benefits of air spa. The mountain climate, altitude and clear air, with a healthy natural food, guarantee refreshments and recovery. Disregarding its potential, Kolasin is still just a small mountain town whose sleepy atmosphere is broken only by lively cafe life in which tourists, skiers and mountaineers mingle with the locals. Staying can satisfy the tastes and needs of young and old, those who want serenity and those drawn by the magic of adventure and excitement. Fans of winter spells and snow sport are welcome in Jezerine ski center with 15 kilometers of trails for comfortable skiing for day and night as they are illuminated by flood lights. For those who are moderate, the choice of walking tours is almost endless, just as for ambitious and challenging hiking ventures. In addition from Kolasin there are directions to go to attractive destinations to Sljivovica, Cirilovac and Kljuc, with altitude of 1.973 meters, whatever road you take, you will see beautiful landscapes, mountain springs, sights of mountains Bjelasica, Prokletije, Komovi and Sinjajevina. A visit to Kolasin would be incomplete without experiencing Biogradska Gora, one of the three surviving virgin forests in Europe, located near Kolasin, at an altitude of 1.094 m, with one of its beautiful lakes - Lake Biograd. It is ideal for walking, hiking and relaxing in cool fresh mountain air.

Here you can expect almost untouched wild nature, abundant wildlife, remote mountain villages and serene life in the summer pastures. It is worth discovering, experiencing and enjoying the best guarded secrets of the mountains. You can look forward to the full enjoyment of nature, always in combination with an adventurous spirit and warm hospitality. In a relatively small area, you can see unique landscapes of forests and meadows, mountain peaks with glittering mountain streams. Cultural and historical heritage consists of Brskovo, medieval archaeological localities, religious monuments, modern buildings, traditional houses, katuns... Almost millennial existence of an area that only nature could bestow, left traces of material and spiritual culture. With traditional heritage and modern achievements you can feel every step of the spontaneous hospitality of the local population, which knows how to welcome you, be hospitable and friendly. Mojkovac is was founded during the reign of Serbian King Uros I (1242 - 1276) in the center of the parish Brskovo, which was part of the Serbian Kingdom of Raska. It is said that the name Mojkovac was created by merging the word „my minted coins“ spoken by King Uros in the mine Brskovo. In the middle of the twentieth century Mojkovac was one of the major industrial centres of Montenegro. Today, because of the great natural resources, agriculture and tourism have been identified as a new priority sectors for the development of Mojkovac. The greatest natural wealth of the municipality Mojkovac is a beautiful European river Tara, which poets called „Tear of Europe“. It is the longest river in Montenegro - 150 km, with clean and potable water at the entire course, with a lot of waterfalls and the other natural attractions.

  • 4 Montenegro: Wild Beauty

    4 Montenegro: Wild Beauty

    43 Montenegro: Wild 4 Beauty Christian Baumgartner, Naturefriends International Synopsis and Learning Outcomes Despite tremendous pressures for rapid development of coastal tourism, mainly fuelled by foreign investment, the Ministry of Tourism together with its National Tourism Organi- sation (NTO) have “shifted the focus from traditional package tour holidays in coastal regions to creating a higher-yield tourism product based on nature tourism [and regional traditional culture]. This includes the promotion of local, authentic restaurants and hotel facilities, as well as the establishment of well-connected bicycle trails” (Montenegro National Tourism Organisation, 2010). This case focuses on a 10-year development project in the region of the Biogradska Gora National Park in the north-eastern part of the country. A slow step-by-step development based on trust building, cooperation between five communities and the National Park and integration of regional stakeholders has resulted in sustainable tourism products that are successful in the international, mainly German-speaking market. Naturefriends International (NFI) played an important role in the starting phase of the project in 1999 together with the country office of theOECD. Later on the tourism devel- opment project was financed by the AustrianDevelopment Agency (ADA) and imple- mented by the ÖAR (Österreichische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für eigenständige Region- alentwicklung / Austrian Association for Endogenous Regional Development), while the author and NFI colleagues were continuously involved as experts, moderators or within monitoring processes. The case of the development of the Bjelasica-Komovi region, with the central national park Biogradska Gora, shows that sustainable tourism development should have an eye on overall sustainable regional development, linking its specific products to regional resources and empowering regional stakeholders to gain benefit from the tourism devel- opment.

  • THE ECONOMIC VALUE of PROTECTED AREAS in MONTENEGRO September 2011

    THE ECONOMIC VALUE of PROTECTED AREAS in MONTENEGRO September 2011

    GEF/UNDP PIMS 4279: Catalyzing Financial Sustainability of Protected Areas in Montenegro THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF PROTECTED AREAS IN MONTENEGRO September 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 10 reasons for public investment in Protected Areas 1. PAs generate considerable values The value of tourism and recreational activities, other uses of PA lands and resources, water supply services and watershed/flood protection services is estimated at just under €68 million in 2010. 2. PAs play an appreciable role in the national economy and development In 2010, the quantified value of PAs equated to some 2.2% of GDP, or economic benefits of €106 generated per capita of Montenegro’s population. 3. PA values accrue to multiple sectors, at many different levels of scale In 2010, just under a half of PA values accrued to the general public (worth more than €32 million), more than a third generated earnings and cost savings to businesses and industries (€25 million), and around 15% earned revenues for the government (€11 million). PA goods and services supported the output of many different sectors of the economy, including tourism, energy, water, agriculture, infrastructure and disaster risk reduction. 4. The values generated by PAs have a substantial multiplier effect across the economy For example, PAs protect the source of existing and planned hydropower generation worth almost €80 million a year in public revenues. PAs generate total income, investment and spending for the tourist sector of €172 (or 5.7% of GDP), including gross visitor spending of more than €220 million and capital investment in excess of €60 million, as well as some 7,700 full-time job equivalents.
