“This confirms to us that Montenegro is a destination that users want to reach. From the moment we put tickets for this destination on sale from Manchester airport, local users and independent travel agencies have decided to visit Montenegro. As the largest tour operator in the UK, we have provided users and independent travel agencies with an unparalleled opportunity when it comes to summer holidays this year,” said Heapy.
The director of the National Tourist Organization (NTO), Ana Tripković Marković, emphasized that last year there were five times more tourists from the UK compared to 2021, so, as she adds, it is to be expected that with the introduction of Jet2.com flights on the air- on the line between Manchester and Tivat, such a trend will continue.
