There are naturally tourists from Russia, Serbia, as well as domestic guests. If we talk about the percentage, this year certainly is dominated by foreign tourists, which is about 80 percent,” said the director of the Tourist Organization of Kolašin, Marija Brajović, for Portal Analitika.
According to Ms. Brajović, the pre-season in Kolašin was much better than the start of the season, since in that period Kolašin has had a significant number of seminars and conferences.

At the very beginning of the season, bad weather affected the season, but during July and August, the weather improved significantly. August is the month when Kolašin is visited by a lot of tourists from different parts of the world. Reports indicate that at this moment the hotel capacities are full, while the interest for private accommodation is high. TO Kolašin representatives expect that by the end of the season, the occupancy rate in the city would be from 95-100 percent.
