Montenegro tourism sanitation and regulatory issues

Overview

Montenegro’s tourism sector has faced a mix of high visitor numbers and various regulatory and sanitation challenges.

Reports from travelers highlighted severe sanitation issues, including sightings of “floating sewage, waste, and brown foam” in the water. Concerns were also raised regarding food safety, specifically regarding food poisoning and the sale of partially thawed products.

While the Public Enterprise for Coastal Zone Management reported one of the most successful seasons in a decade, the high volume of visitors led to increased regulatory violations. Authorities had to implement enforcement operations to address beach furniture occupancy rules and investigate illegal structures. Additionally, inspections uncovered issues with lifeguard credentials, including the use of falsified licenses.
