Drašković je rekao da će donirati sredstva za obnovu vile posredstvom ovog udruženja, ističući da će vila biti nacionalno dobro.

On je naglasio da je nacionalni park decenijama bio turistička atrakcija sa poznatom istoriografijom koja ne smije otići u zaborav.

– Zahvaljujući entuzijazmu, energiji i domaćinskom odnosu /direktora Nacionalnog parka/ Dejana Pavlovića odlučio sam da investiram u Nacionalni park “Sutjeska” jer sam svjestan da to neće biti propala investicija – rekao je Drašković novinarima.

On je izrazio namjeru da uloži sredstva i u obnovu hotela “Sutjeska”, čime bi se ostvarila sinergija između turističkog kompleksa “Grad sunca” u Trebinju i Nacionalnog parka “Sutjeska”, te na taj način povezao mediteranski i kontinentalni turizam.

– Izgradnjom novog hotela “Sutjeska” ćemo Hercegovinu povezati kao turističku atrakciju jedinstvenu u Evropi. Obnova ovog hotela zavisi od Vlade Republike Srpske. Pisao sam pismo namjere da želim da obnovim hotel i da ga stavimo u funkciju turizma, lovnog turizma, istorijskog kulturnog bogatstva – rekao je Drašković.

Direktor Nacionalnog parka “Sutjeska” Dejan Pavlović rekao je da će vila, veća od 300 metara kvadratnih, nakon obnove ostati u vlasništvu Republike Srpske.

On je naveo da još nije poznato koliko će novca biti potrebno za obnovu.

“The team of this project came to us because Banja Luka was recognized as a City Break destination, while Trebinje, Foča and Visegrad as an outdoor destination for more active tourism,” Jovanović pointed out.

She added that the guides for these three destinations are at the stage of preparation, and that certain financial construction and logistical support of the tourist organizations have been agreed upon.

“Ljubljana got this guide a year ago and thanks to it, it increased the number of tourist arrivals by 200,000. Our goal is to bring at least 50,000 young tourists from 16 to 35 years annually in each of these destinations, “said Jovanovic.

She pointed out that the In Your Pocket Guide is so well positioned on Google that it will receive feedback for the first time.
