Tour organizations Thomson and Crystal for this season will not offer wintering at Kopaonik. By all odds the past two seasons dealed with losses and for this season Kopaonik eject from their offers. In the future, there is a possibility that the Kopaonik will be back on the list of desirable destinations, but this will depend on a range of factors (the price of fuel, the price and ownership of hotels, the EU accession of Serbia ...).

           We can only hope that it was not a reason for stoping this season with investments in ski infrastructure (lift at Gobelji, the system for artificial snow...).

 

          After a very "bad flight" and modest sales arrangements for the fall, at the Kopaonik all eyes are fixed on the winter which could be repaid to lack of tourists in July and August. But successful season requires a good preparation, which, in the view of many, "will not be possible" until end "Sunny peaks," "Grand", "Zvrk" and other "Genex facilities, which are still of last year advertised for sale , do not get a new owner.

          Who will be the new boss representative of the Kopaonik, depends on the work and all the other hotels on the mountain, it means the most likely by the end of October because it is a selection of unknown reasons extended for another month.

           - According to our knowledge, several businessmen, local and foreign, purchased the Tender documentation, but it still does not know whether it will be all of them appear on the tender and who will offer as much. We would like that "Grand" and "Konak" buies someone who is powerful, if its possible from the industry, someone who will invest in Kopaonik, and employ an experienced staff who works here already exists. The worst would be that now, when you need to prepare for winter, lost the second tender - says Zoran Panović, president of Independent Trade Unions in the Genex-Kopaonik. "

          The first tender for the sale of "Konak", "grand", "Zvrka" and severaal hundreds flats in Raški and Kopaonik, with a starting price of 45 million Euros, lapsed in March, because there was no interested buyers. Now the price is bisected, and significantly, "Loose" and the conditions of sale. Nor to how better to claim referred to this mountain, is not a guarantee that the "pride of the Serbian ski-tourism" will soon get a boss.

           Some believe that someone deliberately down the price to "Gigante" bought more cheaply, and others that there are unresolved property relations between "Genex - JP" Ski resorts Serbia "and" Genex -  municipalities of Kopaonik, driven away potential customers.

           Winnow Ski Resort
           ALL-ski trails and ski lifts on Kopaonik are owned by Public company "Ski resorts Serbia" and that ingather largest revenue on the mountain. After extraction, "Ski resorts", was abruptly disinterested in buying the best-known hotels at Kopaonik. Potential buyers fears that if only the catering services, in a relatively short ski-season, can earn something.
