The City of Trebinje has been experiencing a real boom since 2012. There are more and more investors in this City and, according to data by the APIF, 241 business entities operate here. Total number of employees at the end of 2015 amounted to 8.171 people, which is by 190 people more than in 2014. Production activities are dominant – energy, trade, and there is also tourism, which has been experiencing expansion over the past three years. Lately, the City has also been recording agricultural growth, as a consequence of efforts invested by the City Administration to ensure conditions and aid for agricultural producers.
Construction of the Hotel Moskva is announced for this year and first man of the City of Trebinje Slavko Vučurević said that construction of hotels in Trebinje became a necessity because all accommodation capacities are full during the season in the past three to four years. This is certainly a result of tourist development of Trebinje and the openness they achieved in a short period of time.
“There are visitors even when the season ends, so the need for accommodation capacities is also high then. Hotel Moskva is just one of the hotels that are currently being built in Trebinje and they will all contribute to a better tourist offer and content, as well as to more pleasant stay of numerous visitors in Trebinje,” Vučurević said.
Apart from hotel Moskva, it is also being worked on the construction of Sun Gardens, and that is just another project in a series of projects that will contribute to the enrichment of tourist offer of Trebinje. Works have begun and construction in in progress. Investor is a man from Trebinje who has been working in Italy for years and who recently expressed desire to invest his capital in Trebinje. According to Mayor Vučurević, investor’s idea is to make Sun Gardens resemble those in Dubrovnik. The City Administration supported this idea.
Several projects in Trebinje are being implemented thanks to means from IPA funds, and one of them is the project they implement in cooperation with Pljevlja (Montenegro). The project is about branding the wine of Trebinje and cheese of Pljevlja. Something similar will be done in the future because the potential in agricultural production, especially when it comes to autochthonous products, has been recognized.
“We recently opened the first Ethno festival of food and drinks, where domestic producers presented their products in cooperation with the Japanese organization ‘Džajka’. We also formed checkpoints at which these producers can present and sell their products,” said Vučurević, adding that Trebinje will keep developing in terms of infrastructure, tourism and economy.
