Cruise ships come to the port in Kotor all year round, which is an unquestionable income for everyone in the city, and is a significant economic effect for all who are in the chain of services for ships and travelers. About the amount in which the total given income is calculated, there is no official data.
If we talk about the income of the port of Kotor, then in 2015 it received a profit of more than 3 million euros. Vasily Kusovats, the port's executive director, says that the income from arriving ships to the port is 30% of the total potential income, and refers only to the arrival and departure of vessels. So, for example, a ship weighing about 70 tons pays a fairway in the amount of 1,500 euros.
Kusovats reports that 2015 was very successful, and also expects that the next one will be even more successful given the information on the arrival of more than 450 cruise ships with 500,000 travelers and more than 200,000 crew members.
Undoubtedly, this is good for everyone, because visitors come first of all to inspect the area, to visit cultural and historical values, interesting places - people are interested in trips and excursions, and during this period they need food and drinks, places for recreation.
Thus, from the arrival of the cruise liner, restaurants, hotels, souvenir shops and shops, summer cafes, cupcakes, ice cream makers, etc. profit. According to the National Tourist Organization, tourists from cruise ships spend 43 euros per person, and team members at 29 euros - and if this is multiplied by 500 thousand travelers and 200 thousand people of the team members, then you get impressive income.
