Montenegro fastest growing tourism destination in the world

World Economic forum Travel & Tourism Competitive Report 2011





"Montenegro sees one of the most impressive improvements this year out of all countries, going up by a full 16 places to 36th overall, just behind Croatia in the region. The country’s policy rules and regulations for the sector have improved substantially, now ranked 10th in this area; it is also prioritizing the sector more strongly. Montenegro has a strong affinity for Travel & Tourism (ranked 7th), perhaps not surprising given the importance of the sector for the country’s economy. Yet while tourism infrastructure is already well developed (ranked 25th), ground transport infrastructure (109th) and air transport infrastructure (62nd) could be further improved to reinforce the country’s T&T competitiveness. Turkey is ranked 29th in Europe and 50th in the TTCI, up six places since the last assessment. The country certainly benefits from its rich cultural heritage,with 17 World Heritage cultural sites, 2 World Heritage natural sites, several international fairs and exhibitions,and strong creative industries. In addition, the policy rules and regulations governing the sector are supportive and have improved since the 2009 T&T Report (ranked 34th). However, the country’s overall T&T competitiveness is held back by worries about safety and security (97th), particularly related to terrorism and concerns about the ability of the police to provide protection from crime and violence. Health and hygiene is also a comparative weakness (67th), as well as ground transport infrastructure inadequacies (especially railroads and ports). In addition, further attention must be placed on
protecting the country’s natural resources (it is ranked 85th for environmental sustainability).
Russia is ranked 33rd in Europe and 59th overall, with a stable performance compared with the last Report. The country gets relatively high marks for natural resources (27th) and cultural resources (35th), due in particular to its many World Heritage sites. It also has a quite well developed air transport infrastructure (31st), an assessment that has improved somewhat since the 2009 Report. However, ground transport infrastructure (95th) gets lower marks. Safety and security issues are also of serious concern (113th), with a high level of crime and violence, a lack of trust in the police to provide protection from crime, and many deaths caused by road traffic accidents, although this is an overall area that has seen some improvement since the last assessment. more :
