A meeting was held today at the premises of the Railway Transport of Montenegro AD Podgorica with Mr. Michael Bader, the President of the Future of Montenegrin Tourism Foundation, with whom the Railway Transport of Montenegro has an intensive and successful collaboration in transporting a large number of tourist groups from Germany on the route from Bar to Kolašin.
Representatives of the new management of our company, Executive Director Ilinka Pavićević, Assistant Executive Director for Logistics and Commercial Affairs Dejana Baošić, and Chairman of the Board of Directors Marko Bertanjoli, were introduced to the idea of introducing a new product, the branded train Wild Beauty Express, aimed at foreign tourists on the railway section from Bar to Mojkovac, which, due to its attractiveness and numerous tourist attractions in its immediate vicinity, deserves attention similar to that of well-known railway routes in Europe, and connects the national parks of our country. Recognising the significance of such a tourist project and the potential that passenger railway transport has to become the backbone of Montenegrin tourism, which has not been acknowledged in the past, the new management of the Railway Transport expressed interest and readiness to initiate cooperation with the Ministry of Capital Investments, the Railway Directorate, and other key institutions to ensure this product for the upcoming tourist season.
The new management of ŽPCG is already actively working on enhancing the tourist potential of our company, and in the coming period, activities will be intensified to include this product in our offer for the next tourist season. It is also significant that at the meeting held at the Railway Directorate, chaired by Mr. Denis Lukač, which was attended by Ms. Ilinka Pavićević and Mr. Marko Bertanjoli, it was defined as a necessity, in accordance with the Budget Law, to allocate funds for such a project in 2024. We are particularly pleased to have received confirmation that passengers from Germany, for whom we organise group transport multiple times a month, have no complaints about the services provided and recognise the charm and comfort of older types of passenger carriages. They also noted a significant improvement in the quality of service at all levels, as well as the attitude towards foreign tourists compared to the previous period.
