Although autumn has arrived, sun and sea lovers are still not giving up on seaside trips, even booking short vacations in warmer destinations for October.
Tourist agencies across Republika Srpska have created special offers to attract citizens to the coast even after the summer season ends. They point out that capacities for destinations such as Malta and Valencia in September are already full, and bookings for October are already coming in.
Malta is one of the current offers, promoted by the travel agency "Istra Travel" from Doboj, and interest is more than good.
“This is a three-night stay with breakfast included. The package covers a round-trip ticket from Zagreb to Malta and back, and the price is 700 KM. Interest is high, but we still have some spots available,” the agency said, adding that they also have Ohrid on offer for early October.
From the Bijeljina-based agency "Hepi Travel," they say that autumn offers are being snapped up quickly, but there are still spots available for Liguria and the French Riviera.
“This is a very nice program. Transportation is by bus, and accommodation includes two nights with breakfast at a three-star hotel in San Remo,” said Dragana Sarić from "Hepi Travel."
She added that, regarding air travel, Malta is on offer, while tourists are also interested in trips to Dubai organized for November. She also mentioned that tourist vouchers are available again, noting that their offer includes Banja Vrućica.
“This includes three nights with breakfast and dinner, as well as access to the pool at the ‘Kardial’ hotel,” Sarić explained.
Vedrana Smiljić, director of the travel agency "Smiljić" from Banja Luka, emphasized that their clients are mostly interested in Italy, but optional excursions such as Prague with Dresden and Vienna tours are also selling very well.
“We also have high demand for Zlatibor, and our one-day trips include Trieste, Graz, Venice, Vienna, Bled, and Ljubljana. There is significant interest, especially in September and October,” Smiljić said.
She added that Advent offers will be available from November 15, while New Year trips are planned to Vienna, Budapest, Milan, and Sanremo.
ADVENT TRIPS
Regarding Advent trips, Bijeljina’s "Hepi Travel" said that their offers will be available as early as next week, allowing citizens to travel to classic destinations such as Vienna, Zagreb, and Graz.
“For New Year celebrations, we mostly organize trips for companies, and Montenegro is among the most popular destinations because it has the best offers,” said Dragana Sarić from the agency.
