Outdoor Resort “Visit Konjic”

2022—The Year of New Adventures

IN THE BIJELA AREA, IN THE MOUNT PRENJ VALLEY, THE CONSTRUCTION OF OUTDOOR RESORT “VISIT KONJIC”, A PERFECT DESTINATION FOR

ADRENALINE JUNKIES AND OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS, HAS BEGUN

It has long been known that tavel agency Visit Konjic is the place to go to experience unforgettable adventures in the untouched nature of B&H. It specialises in outdoor tourism, one-day and multi-day outdoor activities. These are combinations of rafting and canoeing on the Neretva River, hiking and jeep tours to the Prenj, Visočica, Bjelasnica, and Čvrsnica mountains, and mountain biking and canyoning tours.

A NEW VISION

Active holidays in attractive destinations in B&H are attracting increasing numbers of tourists from the European Union, so Visit Konjic is currently creating travel packages in partnership with EU travel agencies. “For the EU market, or to be more specific Belgium and the Netherlands, we’re trying to create custom-made scout programmes. Young people aged between 14 and 20 stay in B&H from 8 to 15 days, get acquainted with our culture and history, stay in a camp, and our guides organise different kinds of games and activities for them to add excitement and fun to their experience and make it memorable. Young people from Belgium and the Netherlands were most impressed by the Tisovica Valley on Mount Prenj. We spent one night at a tent camp and two days hiking the peaks of the Herzegovinian Himalayas, as true nature lovers often call Mount Prenj,” says Sanjin Bubalo, the director of Visit Konjic, which has just announced its big new project—Outdoor Resort in Bijela in the Mount Prenj Valley. Right from the start, when Sanjin and his wife worked as tour guides, they had a vision of what kind of difference they wanted to make in the tourism industry and in which direction they wanted to develop their own business. They recognised the potential first in Konjic and then in B&H and the Balkans.

“We’ve got beautiful rivers, lakes, mountain ranges, rich cultural heritage, and with ambition, genuine effort, work and commitment, you can always achieve your aspirations and goals. Our idea, the project called Outdoor Resort “Visit Konjic”, is in the making, construction work is ongoing, and we’re facing new challenges on a daily basis. We intentionally don’t call them issues or obstacles. The more we get involved every day, the more we meet new creative, innovative, and resourceful people who inspire us and give us strength to succeed.”

OUTDOOR RESORT’S FIVE ZONES

Designed to span across 10,000 m2 , Outdoor Resort “Visit Konjic” is envisioned to be a perfect destination for adrenaline junkies and outdoor enthusiasts. It will be divided into five zones. The meeting zone and the pentagon-shaped base building are in the last stage of construction. It consists of a basement which includes storage room, reception area with indoor restaurant, ten double rooms and a roof terrace, and next to this building an artificial rock for climbing is also going to be made. Other zones are: a bungalow zone, the so-called Lukomir Mountain Village featuring a natural lake, a gastronomic zone with fountain, a glamping zone, and a recreation zone in the resort’s forest area. “The past two years have been challenging for tourism professionals. Covid-19 brought the whole world to a stop at one point, including our construction work and regular business. We believe that next year will be full of adventure and that we’ll be able to open the doors of a few parts of our resort,” points out Sanjin.
