Reduction of development in the coastal zone

The Government of Montenegro introduced a new plan for the development of the coastal zone until 2030. The main thing that is worth paying attention to in the document is a ban on construction of more than 100 meters from the sea. Now the first line will remain behind beaches and the nature. It is also planned to reduce the share of development of the coastal zone from 15% to 9%, which means a decrease in the land to be issued for construction, from 23 to 13 thousand hectares.

The plan also provides for improving the quality of the tourism sector in general, and in particular - the increase in the number of hotels, which in turn against a background of competition should lead to better services at a lower cost. Also, these factors will gradually crowd out the private sector's share in the rental market during the season.

Representative of the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism Olivera Brajovic said that the ideal option for the future is when at least more than half of the holidaymakers will use the services of hotels, rather than private entrepreneurs.

The inflow of foreign investments for the entire period envisaged by the development plan is planned in the region of 15 billion euros. With an estimated annual tourist spending of around 3 billion euros per year, all investments will pay off in the early 2020s. This will also allow an additional 18,000 jobs in the tourism sector alone and more than 50,000 in the construction sector and the rest.
