\u201cTransDinarica 2\u201d is an international project aimed at developing sustainable tourism in the Dinarides, a mountain range that stretches across several Balkan countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina. The City of Konjic actively participates as a partner in this project,\u201d<\/strong> said Ajla Greda<\/strong>, Direc tor of the Economic Development Agency \u201cPRVI KORAK\u201d Konjic<\/strong>. She emphasized that the goal of the project is to improve the destination\u2019s tourism offer, strengthen cooperation with local stakeholders from the area of the City of Konjic, as well as more broadly, and to develop infrastructure and facilities tailored to cycling tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough the project activities, Konjic has the opportunity to further position its natural and cultural resources\u2014especially the Neretva River, mountain landscapes, and authentic experiences\u2014as an attractive destination for active and sustainable tourism,\u201d<\/strong> Greda emphasized. \ud83c\udf3f\ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2642\ufe0f

At today\u2019s presentation, opportunities for improving sustainable tourism and strengthening the competitiveness of Konjic as a tourist destination were discussed.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s presentation and workshop were an opportunity to exchange different ideas. We had a constructive discussion and the chance to hear various proposals from all present stakeholders for a joint approach and the improvement of tourism development in the area of the City of Konjic in the coming period,\u201d<\/strong> Greda added.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marko \u0106apin from the Institute for Progress and Development of Herzegovina spoke about the number of visitors to Konjic as a tourist destination, presenting data from the Federal Institute of Statistics for 2024.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs for the current figures, these are the data we received from the Federal Institute of Statistics. They refer to 2024, since the final results for 2025 are usually published in March or April. In 2024, a total of 10,159 registered arrivals and 17,026 overnight stays were recorded, while the average length of stay was 1.7 nights. Also, 57.6 percent of surveyed visitors come without staying overnight, which means that Konjic is still largely a transit destination,\u201d<\/strong> \u0106apin said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the implementation of the project, special attention should be given to the preservation of natural resources,<\/strong> emphasized \u0110or\u0111e Stefanovi\u0107<\/strong>, Executive Director of the ecological association \u201cDinarica.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis must be done with great care\u2014on one hand, there is the desire to develop the economy and generate income, which is completely understandable, but on the other hand, we must not overburden nature. The main idea is to connect nature and people,\u201d<\/strong> Stefanovi\u0107 emphasized. He added that renowned institutions and organizations from across the region, including Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro, have worked on the project.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt takes a bit of wisdom, time, and attention to gather all the good experiences and suggestions, and then, together with the local community, develop solutions that will enable quality tourism development with minimal impact on nature,\u201d<\/strong> Stefanovi\u0107 concluded.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conclusion of the discussion participants was that Konjic has significant potential for implementing such projects, with the active involvement of all local community stakeholders\u2014from institutions and tourism professionals to associations and local residents. It was also highlighted that the development of sustainable tourism through projects like \u201cTransDinarica\u201d can contribute to better promotion of Konjic\u2019s natural and cultural assets, extend tourists\u2019 stays, and create new opportunities for local economic development.<\/strong>
