Miloš Milošević from Gacko has used his talent and creativity to promote his hometown and the wider region of Herzegovina in the most beautiful way—through social media and millions of views. For this contribution, the Tourist Organization of the Municipality of Gacko and the Municipality of Gacko awarded him a certificate of appreciation for promoting the natural potential of the area through digital media and platforms.

“I live in Gacko, a place I love. It's only natural that I, as an individual working together with local institutions, contribute to the promotion of our region by showing the world what we have to offer—welcoming people, stunning nature, and a rich gastronomic scene. Whether we manage what we have well enough is another question. There is definitely room for improvement,” says Milošević for SeeSrpska.

He adds that it's encouraging to see a growing number of people recognizing Gacko as a destination for mountain and rural tourism due to its geographical features. “I'm glad our locals are increasingly interested in developing suitable forms of tourism, registering rural accommodations, and investing in this field,” he says.

Milošević also highlights the enthusiasm of a group of young people who founded Mountain Bike Tour Gacko, with the aim of showcasing the natural beauty of the region through active outdoor recreation. He also praises the work of the association “Gat”, led by Saša Nikolić, which is participating in an Interreg cross-border cooperation project with municipalities in Montenegro and Croatia (Nikšić and Ston).

“This project promotes Gacko and its tourism potential—another great example of how local initiatives can go beyond borders and connect with partners in the region,” Milošević explains. He adds that the new local government has officially prioritized rural tourism development, with dedicated funds allocated in the municipal budget for the first time as incentives for this sector.

“I thank the Tourist Organization and the Municipality of Gacko for recognizing my efforts in promoting our town. I believe that through dedicated work and commitment, we can make Gacko a leader in rural and active tourism,” Milošević concludes.

Miloš Milošević is a digital creator from Gacko whose social media platforms—dedicated to promoting tourism and culture—have over 130,000 followers and millions of views from audiences across the region.
