SARAJEVO, December 31 (FENA) – There is a great number of tourists in Sarajevo Canton who came to celebrate the holidays in the capital city of BiH.

“When it comes to accommodation, over 90 percent of hotel accommodation is occupied in Sarajevo,” spokesperson of the SC Tourist Community Adisa Kušundžija told FENA.

She added there are more tourists this year than last year, so they expect Sarajevo to justify the slogan of this-year’s New Year program, which is “Sarajevo Center of the Region”.

“We started the New Year celebration last night with a concert of classical music in front of Sarajevo Cathedral and we expect a spectacle in front of the Eternal Flame memorial with Hari Varešanović last night,” said Kušundžija, adding that New Year celebration will continue on January 1, when Bombaj štampa band will perform in front of the Eternal Flame.

According to official statistical data of the SC Tourist Community, over half a million tourists visited Sarajevo in first 11 months this year.

Tourists from 165 states visited Sarajevo in 2018, mostly from Turkey, Croatia, the United Arab Emirates, China, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia, Germany, the USA, Serbia and Italy.
