Masterplan Ulcinj - Ada Bojana

The purity within the area where holidays arespent is among the most important criterions fordeciding what place to choose. Neglected use ofnatural areas for dumpsites will soon be reflectedas one of the most negative image factors,especially because it is in direct opposition toecological commitment of Montenegro.The capacity of international developmentcooperation should be focused on water supplyand on wastewaters and solid waste treatmentsin order to preserve and to enable the use ofpotentials for sustainable and high qualitydevelopment in tourism industry.Image 4.10: Wastes dispersed onto the hillsabove Valdanos Lagoon.The Valdanos Lagoon is one of the mostbeautiful locations not only of Ulcinj, but also ofthe whole Montenegro Adriatic coast. However,the locality from our dreams, which was born tobe the place of 5 international stars, is notdecorated by olive trees only. Unfortunately, it isdecorated by shameful heaps of wastes.6. Tourism potentials5.1 General evaluation of potentialsMontenegro is small country and each of itscorners can be reached in few hours of driving. Itstill has unseen variety of natural resources: highmountains with >>>>>>>>> and deep gorges,fertile valleys and the fascinating Adriatic coast. Ifcomparisons are allowed, they compete withthose of Norway and Switzerland, and with thelakes of Italy and Majorca. The vegetation is alsodiverse, depending on the height above the sea.However, cultural and historical values ofEuropean significance can hardly be found.Montenegro can be divided into 5 zones, each ofthem with its own potentials for different targetgroups, such as:1. Ulcinj region with its sandy beaches,2. Boka Kotorska Bay,3. rocky coast and harbors for swimming,extending from Tivat to Bar and Ulcinj,4. The Skadar Lake,5. High mountains with miniature capitalcity of Cetinje and with three nationalparks.The advantages of potentials are as follows;- Mild Mediterranean climate,- Natural beauty,- Diversity of natural resources,- Cultural and historical relicts,- Ulcinj sandy beach.Weak aspects of potentials are as follows:Only swimming destinations have beendeveloped and small skiing areas. On the otherhand, the potential have not been made availableanywhere: there are shortages in traffic networks,tourist guide services, signposts, descriptions
