Business partners

Montenegro is a stunningly beautiful country with very diverse untouched nature. It includes mountains, beaches, cities and even multiple national parks.
In order to see and experience the most of the country we decided not to concentrate on just one location and rather move around in the whole country and find interesting business partners who fit under our set category of niche tourism. Our planned route is depicted in the picture on the right.


Following is a brief introduction for each of our business partners to give you a little overview of the business activities we are going to research during the Study Week in Montenegro.
