Montenegro recorded approximately 2.29 million tourist arrivals and 12.79 million overnight stays in January-August 2026, up 9.09% and 8.15% year on year. Foreign visitors drove most of the growth, while a separate measure showed real retail turnover up 4.7% in the third quarter.
Real estate accounted for 50.79% of Montenegro’s gross foreign direct investment inflow in the first eight months of 2026. The Central Bank’s assessment flagged strong price growth, possible overvaluation and expanding residential lending.

Coastal resorts accounted for 90.3% of overnight stays in Montenegro’s collective accommodation in September 2026, MONSTAT data showed. The figures highlight the concentration of organised tourism on the Adriatic coast and the work needed to develop demand elsewhere.
