Montenegro tourism season extension strategies

Overview

Montenegro is exploring and promoting integrated tourism models to extend its tourism season beyond the summer months.

In early September 2026, a delegation of Montenegrin journalists and editors visited Kyrenia to observe the Merit International model. This approach integrates hospitality, gastronomy, wellness, and casino services to stimulate year-round economic activity. Experts noted that such a model can drive broader economic chains in construction and trade, though they emphasized the need for oversight and responsible gaming.

Later in the month, Montenegro’s Tourism Minister Simonida Kordić participated in a global conference in Armenia to promote health tourism. Kordić advocated for a model that combines medical services with nature, wellness, and gastronomy. She cited the Dr Simo Milošević Institute in Igalu as a primary example of how rehabilitation and prevention programs can sustain tourism activity outside of the traditional summer season.
