The summit brought together eminent experts from this industry, and was organized by “Skijališta Srbije” and the Center for Tourism Research and Tourism Studies. The slogan of this year’s meeting is “Investments and innovations in mountain centers”. As this industry was greatly affected by the pandemic, but also by war and climate change, the key topics concerned investments, improvement and further development of ski centers.

With the participation of over 100 delegates, representatives of the Ministry of Tourism and Youth of Serbia and the Ministry of Economic Development and Tourism of Montenegro, MoReSCE once again positioned Serbia as a leader in the development of mountain centers and Ski Resorts of Serbia as an example of best practices.
