The municipality of Sanski Most records an increasing number of visitors, and tourism is becoming an increasingly important branch of the economy.
This positive trend is more and more obvious, especially considering the arrival of our fellow citizens living abroad, as well as foreign guests.
In the coming year, the Municipality of Sanski Most plans to invest in various tourist facilities, in order to improve the overall offer and make this town an even more attractive tourist destination.
FOCUS ON TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
Amir Mezetović from the Department for Development, Entrepreneurship and Resources of the Municipality of Sanski Most emphasizes that much more attention will be paid to the development of tourism in the coming period, writes Fena.
“We are witnessing that we have an increasing number of guests, but unfortunately the infrastructure and offer do not follow the demand. Our focus will be on the reconstruction, rehabilitation and construction of new infrastructural capacities, and their integration into a unique tourist offer ,” said Mezetović.
One of the key projects in the field of tourism will be the improvement of the old town of Kamengrad.
This project, which is carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy of the Una-Sana Canton, includes the reconstruction of the access road, the installation of educational boards about the history of the fortress, and the rehabilitation of cobblestones and walls.
Also, new lighting and about 10-12 information boards will be installed. The total funds for this project, which will be realized in two phases, amount to about 150,000 KM, with co-financing from the Municipality of Sanski Most and the Ministry of Economy of the USK.
“We are in the final phase with the project of installing tourist signage in the inner city core. The GPS recordings have been completed, the preliminary project has been completed, and we plan to implement it by the beginning of the next tourist season”, Mezetović points out.
LEGAL BENEFITS FOR INVESTORS
The municipality of Sanski Most recognizes the importance of accommodation facilities for the development of tourism, and has provided for certain legal incentives for investors in this area.
Thus, the decision on subsidies for building permits and communal rents was changed, which now includes the construction of tourist facilities, such as hotels, motels and campsites.
Mezetović adds that investments have already started in the private sector, including the construction of a hotel, as well as financial support for the construction of a camp at the Dabra location through the European Union project “EU Strategy for the Adriatic Region”.
“In the last year, close to 20 new accommodation units were registered in private facilities, and several others are still under construction. Thus, we are gradually rounding off the infrastructure and accommodation capacities, creating a unique tourist content” , said Mezetović.
Although they face challenges related to financial resources for capital projects, optimism is present due to good cooperation with the Ministry of Economy of the USK, and the Municipality of Sanski Most shows interest and has the potential for further growth of tourism, with an emphasis on the preservation of cultural heritage and the creation of quality infrastructure for visitors .
