PODGORICA (Montenegro), April 1 (SeeNews) – Chinese tourism services company U-tour is considering investment opportunities in Montenegro's hotel sector, vice president Wei Zhang has said.
U-tour is interested in investing in the development of Montenegro's hotel capacity and intends to continue its cooperation with aviation support company Fly Montenegro, Zhang said on Friday, according to a press release issued by Montenegro's Chamber of Commerce.
"Although Southeast Asia, and in particular Thailand, is the top destination for Chinese tourists, we have a growing number of visits to the US, Europe and especially the Balkans. Over the past few years, we have a trend of doubling the number of tourists from China to Montenegro," Zhang said during a meeting with officials of the Chamber of Commerce in Podgorica.
The number of Chinese tourists who visited Montenegro in 2018 rose by 72.6% on the year to 40,536, the Chamber of Commerce said.
