“There is a truly big potential for the winter tourism in B&H. We have been working on it for the last four years but we want to expand and promote that aspect of tourism even more. As you already know, the Olympic games were held in Sarajevo in 1984. There are many ski tracks and a good infrastructure for the winter tourism.” – said Bicer.

We want to bring them to B&H and that’s why we brought our representatives here, to present to them the ski centres and other touristic attractions in B&H like for example Mostar, Travnik and other places.” – said Bicer.
The Turkish representatives will stay four days in B&H and have the chance to meet all the beauty of the town of Sarajevo, mountain Jahorina, the Bosna river spring, Bjelašnica, Mostar, Počitelj, Blagaj, Travnik and many other places.
