He suggested that the Montenegrin touristic industry should be presented at the most important fair of tourism in the country where this year, representatives of 88 nations participated with almost 1000 exhibitors.
The state secretary presented the results which Montenegro achieved in this industry with a record in the previous year when Montenegro was visited by over two million tourists with 12 million overnight stays.
