In general, the Montenegrin hotel classification applies less strict criteria compared to the internal classification of PKF hotelexperts. outstanding standard; extraordinarily good service, extraordinarily large (average of 42 sq m, minimum of 36 sq m) and luxuriously equipped rooms; excellent f&b facilities; extensive sports, leisure and spa facilities typical brands: Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Ritz-Carlton very high standard; very good service; large (average of 34 sq m, minimum of 30 sq m) and very comfortably equipped rooms; very good f&b facilities; sports, leisure and spa facilities, which are adequate to the type and the site of the hotel typical brands: Hilton, Marriott, Sheraton high standard; good service; spacious (average of 26 sq m, minimum of 24 sq m) and comfortably equipped rooms; good f&b facilities; sports, leisure and spa facilities, which are adequate to the type and the site of the hotel typical brands: Courtyard by Marriott, Four Points by Sheraton, Novotel simple standard; limited service; relatively small (minimum of 18 sq m) and simple rooms; no or only simple f&b facilities; no or only simple sports, leisure and spa facilities typical brands: Campanile, Holiday Inn Express, Ibis very simple standard; no or very limited service; very small (minimum of 12 sq m) and very simply equipped rooms; no f&b facilities; no sports, leisure and spa facilities typical brands: B&B, Etap, Première Classe Draft . 9 Ratios occupancy occupied rooms divided by the number of available rooms per period multiple occupancy factor number of guests divided by the number of occupied rooms per period published room rate (= rack rate) published room rate including VAT and – if applicable – breakfast net room rate rooms revenue (after deduction of breakfast, VAT and allowances/discounts) di- vided by the number of occupied rooms in each period =x revenue per available room/revpar (= rooms yield) occupancy multiplied by the average net room rate respectively rooms revenue (excluding VAT, breakfast and allowances/discounts) divided by the number of available rooms per period Draft . 10 1 Introduction 1.1 Project MCC Engineering Ltd, Podgorica, is planning the development of a resort (including – amongst others – a marina, various residential units, gastronomic and entertainment facilities, and a hotel) in the upscale segment in the Municipality of Tivat, Montenegro.

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.
