Tourism is one of the most significant economic sectors for Belgrade and it registered record revenues last year, Belgrade Mayor Sinisa Mali said Thursday, adding that the Serbian capital is among the top ten tourism destinations in the region.
Speaking at the opening of the 38th International Tourism Fair in Belgrade, Mali noted that Belgrade has been named one of the top three conference tourism destinations.
“The goal is to break the records in the number of guests and tourism revenue this year,” Mali said, adding that there were 14 percent more tourists last year compared to 2014.
“There are reasons for optimism. There were 76 hotels in Belgrade in November 2014, while there are 89 today,” Mali said, adding that one out of ten employees in Serbia works in the tourism sector.
