Travel Massive Montenegro Kicks Off

Friday, February 3rd marked the very first Travel Massive event in Montenegro, gathering over 60 travel insiders to an after-work kick off at the Verde Complex. 

The Verde Complex is a new 4-star hotel with conference, sports, wellness and spa facilities, located in the capital city of Podgorica – the sponsor of the evening.

Prior to the beginning of the event, everyone interested was invited to a house tour, showcasing the facilities and range of services of the “Verde”, well in line with the trends of design, health and sports, as well as the combination of business and leisure.  

The participants arrived from everywhere, between the northern deep snows, the sandy beaches of the southernmost corner and the ancients towns of the coastline. Similarly diverse was the language mix, with which their native speakers spoke the welcome words together with Slavica Vukcevic,  co-founder, chapter leader and moderator of the evening  – in Montenegrin, German, Dutch, English, ….which one am I missing? French and Finnish.

International welcomes and recommendations were shared in this video all the way from Sydney, Australia, and in person: Andrew Villone, one of the Slovenian chapter leaders, had traveled 15 hours from Ljubljana, to make new Travel Massive friends and to explore new business opportunities with Montenegro.

After introducing Travel Massive, the principles and benefits, the evening topic changed to “Trends in Tourism”. Kirsi Hyvaerinen, co-founder and chapter leader, first shared insights to megatrends and their meaning to our industry. Her presentation was seamlessly followed by Milica Šćepanović, content editor at the fleka, an interactive design studio specialized in web and mobile. sharing the latest developments and hands-on recommendations from the world of digital marketing.

At the end of the evening, nine prize draw winners went home with nice surprises, generously provided by Verde Complex, ITB Berlin 2017 and fleka. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to the sponsors!  

We are happy and excited to have taken the first steps towards this new „sharing and caring“ community of travel insiders in Montenegro and warmly welcome new members to join and be active in this fantastic „glocal“ – global and local – network.
