PRINCIPLES FOR FORMING NEW TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION FOR TOURISTS ON THE TERRITORY OF LAKE SKADAR IN MONTENEGRO

Abstract

Skadar Lake, located in Montenegro, is a valuable natural resource that combines a favorable climate, unique flora and fauna, as well as numerous cultural and historical monuments located throughout the basin of Lake Skadar. The geographical position and rich historical heritage are excellent background for the further cultural, educational and tourist-recreational development of Lake Skadar. Currently, the accommodation for tourists is private houses that have met the needs of tourists for many years, but for future development, new types of accommodation are needed. Studies that have been carried out in Montenegro for ten years indicate a constant increase in the number of visitors to the Skadar Lake reserve, as well as possible environmental threats caused by the lack of appropriate infrastructure and improvement. It follows that the thoughtful accommodation of tourists on the territory of Lake Skadar is one of the most important priorities in the strategy for the future development of Lake Skadar. This article analyzes the existing types of accommodation for tourists on Lake Skadar in order to determine the basic principles in accordance with which new types of accommodation for tourists should be developed.
