In recent years, a new trend known as transit tourism has emerged worldwide. Transit tourism involves making the most of layovers by leaving the airport and exploring the city or country where you are temporarily located during flight connections.
In the record-breaking year of 2019, Belgrade was visited by almost 1,180,000 tourists, with nearly a million of them being foreign guests. The year 2023 is expected to bring a similar number of visitors to Belgrade, many of whom will be in transit.

An increased number of flights during August and a new intercontinental route to Chicago (USA) will contribute further to this practice.
