A Unesco World Heritage Site nestled on the edge of a picturesque Adriatic bay, the town of Kotor in Montenegro is struggling to cope with a surge in tourism that is clogging its narrow streets and raising environmental concerns.
Many visitors arrive on the hundreds of boats, yachts, and cruise ships that dock daily in Kotor’s harbour, leading some people to call for a hike in the €1 (RM4.85) fee that visitors from cruise ships are charged to enter the town.
