In the recent past few years, there has been a significant boom in the construction of villas and houses with swimming pools in the wider area of Mostar. Moreover, more and more citizens from other cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina BiH, especially Sarajevo, are purchasing attractive land south of Mostar for the construction of such facilities, from ordinary apartment houses to luxury real estate.
This is confirmed by Ramiz Basic from the Tourist Board of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton HNC, who considers that this is a surprisingly positive story for that area of Herzegovina.
Mostar, as well as the suburban settlements of Blagaj, Malo Polje, Kosor, and other places, is definitely at the forefront of the region's focus. It is also evident that our diaspora is investing more and more in business, with a diverse range of renovated stone houses to villas of modern architecture. In economic terms, it is a stable income source, basic emphasised.
Although the prevailing view is that the demand for such facilities mainly comes from domestic guests from all over BiH, but basic points out that this can be attributed to some extent to the period of the pandemic.
Guests who stay at such places come from almost everywhere, from Germans to Arabs. First of all, the abundance of natural and other beauties, a variety of tourist facilities, from cycling in nature to kayaking or canoeing, the proximity of the Adriatic Sea, multiple cities that are attractive for exploring, explains Basic.
There are numerous facilities available on sites that promote halal tourism for privacy, orderliness, cleanliness, and the like.
The cost of renting such facilities is based on various factors, such as size, level of decoration, and contents, and range from 200 BAM for two people per night to 2.500 BAM, Biznis Info reports.
