ULCINJ’S WATERMELON
This event continues the tradition of a fruitful encounter between tourism and local agriculture, promoting the recognizable brand of Ulcinj watermelon — a product that this region is known for.
The organizers point out that the goal of the event, as well as the first edition held in 2024 in Štoj, is to provide support to local producers and to revitalize the once famous tradition of watermelon growing in the Ulcinj region.
“It is important that our agricultural producers connect with the market. This manifestation is a bridge between agriculture and tourism, and thus enables additional promotion and valorization of local products,” said Genci Nimanbegu, president of the Municipality of Ulcinj.
“Tourism and agriculture should not be separate sectors. Through events like this, we show how they can work together for the benefit of the local community,” said Ćazim Hodžić, director of the Ulcinj Tourist Organization.
