Portonovi resort, which has seen an investment of about EUR 470 million so far, is visited daily by a large number of tourists from Montenegro as well as foreigners, said marketing and communications manager Adrijana Husic, announcing a new expansion of the offer.
"Portonovi opened its doors to visitors on August 1st and we are really looking forward to the interest, both on the first day and these 15 days that the resort is being operational," Husic told to Mina-business.
She said that the resort is visited daily by a large number of visitors, both from Montenegro and the region, but also from foreigners who are on holiday in Montenegro.
Husic, referring to the realized investment so far, stated that the construction of the project Portonovi started in 2012.
"Since then, about EUR 470 million has been invested, and when all the phases are completed, the total investment will amount to about EUR 1 billion," Husic said.
She recalled that a lot of people were working on the project Portonovi itself, in terms of construction, which is continuing at certain stages.
"Right now, in the resort, when it comes to providing services, there are several hundred employees, and this is one of the contributions that Portonovi makes to the development and improvement of the Montenegrin economy, as new jobs are created every day," Husic said.
Speaking about the current offer, she said the beach bar Portonovi, restaurants that are currently open, as well as the Pizana Gallery are attracting the most attention so far.
"As we announced, this is just the beginning. In the next 15 days, new openings await us and in addition to the first cognac bar, there will be the first Belgian pub of its kind in Montenegro. We also have the Italian ice-cream, and restaurant offerings will also expand," Husic announced.

According to her, Portonovi's Training Studio will be open soon.
"What we are particularly proud of is the first kindergarten or center where children will be able to stay during the day, which will be open soon, and will operate under the Montessori program," Husic said.
Portonovi, she said, will continue to operate in the coming period and reminded that the resort would be open 365 days a year.
"In only a few months, next year, we are expecting a grand opening, together with the opening of the first One and Only hotel in Europe, which will have 113 rooms and ten branded villas," Husic said.
She stated that this is an addition to the accommodation capacities, which are of great importance for the development of the tourist offer of Montenegro.
"Currently, Portonovi resort has 214 housing units for sale, 50 of which are in the rental program. Interested guests can also stay in the resort in one of these 50 units,” explained Husic.
She said that with the opening of the resort, D-Marin Portonovi marina began to operate, with a total of 238 berths available for boat owners.
"What is specific to our marina is that it is also a border crossing, and we expect to get a petrol station soon," Husic said.
The marina, she said, is located at the entrance to the Gulf of Boka Bay, which is a great benefit for users.
"The marina is part of the D-Marin large family, with over ten marinas located also in the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean, which brings various benefits and discounts for mooring owners," concluded Husic.
