Monte Mare Travel is an agency specialized in incoming tourism and DMC services in Montenegro, with a clear vision that tourism should not be just an economic sector, but a strong driver of local development, environmental protection, and preservation of cultural identity.
We believe that truly successful tourism must be sustainable, benefiting local communities, respecting natural resources, and contributing to the long-term appreciation of cultural heritage. Sustainability is therefore not a trend, but the foundation of our growth strategy and daily operations.

We place special emphasis on educating partners and clients about the importance of preserving nature, culture, and tradition, believing that only through joint action can we build a sustainable tourism future.

Our Goals and Commitments
At Monte Mare Travel, we believe that tourism must not come at the expense of nature but should contribute to its protection and preservation for future generations. Therefore, we have integrated principles of ecological responsibility into all aspects of our business:
- We minimize the negative environmental impact of our activities through careful selection of transportation and logistics. Whenever possible, we choose energy-efficient vehicles and especially develop tours that encourage hiking, trekking, cycling, kayaking, and other activities that do not pollute and offer direct connection with nature.
- We actively participate in and support clean-up initiatives at natural sites, including beaches, mountain trails, rivers, and lakes. We cooperate with local organizations, volunteers, and visitors to raise awareness about the importance of protecting natural resources.
- We promote responsible tourist behavior in nature in line with Leave No Trace principles, educating our clients on how to enjoy nature without leaving a negative impact. We encourage them to respect local plant and animal species, avoid littering, use reusable packaging, and reduce single-use plastic.
Our approach is long-term, we want every guest not only to be a visitor but also an ambassador of sustainable tourism, aware of the value of Montenegro’s pristine nature and the importance of its protection.

Supporting the Local Community
Monte Mare Travel consistently nurtures an approach in which the local community is the heart of the tourism experience. We believe tourism can and must, strengthen the local economy, preserve traditions, and improve the quality of life of residents. That is why we actively build partnerships with the people who make Montenegro an authentic and vibrant destination:
- We collaborate with local households, guides, producers, and artisans, enabling them to present their products, knowledge, and skills to visitors from around the world. This creates authentic experiences for guests, while local partners gain stable income and motivation to preserve traditions.
- We include rich cultural content and interactive experiences in our offer, such as craft workshops, traditional cooking, folklore performances, wine tasting, olive oil and honey tasting, and other local specialties. This allows tourists to experience Montenegro “from the inside,” while helping preserve local heritage.
- We encourage models that provide direct benefits to local residents, such as accommodation in rural households, purchasing handmade crafts, and hiring local guides. This way, tourism becomes a tool for more balanced development of rural and less developed areas.
Through this approach, we build strong partnerships with communities and create a value chain in which all participants, from hosts to travelers, feel mutual benefit, respect, and connection.
