Neum: Tourists disagree on obligatory payment of deck chairs, justified by concession from hotel move

Neum is a popular tourist resort for BiH citizens and the diaspora that is there for affordable prices and vacations. Much has been changed for years, but since this year, not so pleasant newspapers on the beaches were introduced, which reflected on the budget of tourists.

Tourist Mustafa Hadžić addressed our editorial office by saying that he has spent many years in Neum, but that this time he returned home disappointed, because his vacation with seven was shortened for four days.

"This time we met with the obstacles that the budget of any average family in BiH can not afford. The reason is the fact that I have talked to many families who have experienced the same thing and were so unhappy that with a strange decision they granted a concession on a city beach From the hotel that has maximally misused it and the whole length of the beach where we had rest arranged the deck chairs.

For them, as for sunshades, they charge 6 KM per day, and no space can be placed anywhere in this area, "Hadžić said. He emphasized that he was forced to rent sun loungers and umbrellas, and spent four days spending the planned budget for seven days Summer vacation "Unfortunately, this is a bad picture and a message that Neum City is only for summer holidays," he said. This is the beach that the Municipality of Neum gave in 2016 at the Grand Hotel's concession, which decided to set up sun loungers and umbrellas Along the assigned part of the beach.

"The beach is not owned by the hotel, we pay for it a two year concession. It's open type and it's okay to come who wants, but we charge sunbeds and umbrellas because we pay the concession and the management decides how to manage the beach," they told us at Grand Hotel. However, this did not affect the number of guests in this only BH city with a sea exit. Beaches are full and caterers are happy. During the coming days, the number of tourists is expected to increase.
