Balkan cable car and skywalk tourism developments

Overview

Following the strategic investment announcements by XExperience in mid‑July, the Kotor‑Lovćen cable car in Montenegro and the Kablar Skywalk in Serbia have transitioned into operational tourist attractions.

The Kotor Cable Car provides an 11‑minute ride connecting the Adriatic coast near Dubrovnik to the Kuk mountain station on Lovćen, offering views of Boka Kotorska. In Serbia, the Kablar Skywalk, a glass observation deck located at approximately 800 meters altitude near Čačak, has opened to provide views of the Ovčarsko‑Kablarska gorge. While initially offering free entrance, the Skywalk has moved to a paid ticketing model.

By mid-August, the Kotor Cable Car reported a seasonal increase in visitor numbers compared to the previous year. Director Ana Ivanović noted that approximately 95% of visitors are international, with British tourists comprising the largest group at roughly 40%. Other significant visitor groups include tourists from the United States, Israel, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, and France. To support this growth, the facility has introduced new attractions such as the Falcon Flyer and the Aerobar, alongside its existing long track bob.
