Abstract:   In early 2020, the world faced a global crisis caused by COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019). Both as an economic activity and observed through the correlation of relationships and phenomena that arise when foreigners are travelling and staying at a place, tourism felt the most conse­quences of the pandemic. The crisis also affected Montenegro, where tour­ism is a strategic economic sector. To analyse the consequences of the cri­sis, this paper reviews the example of Kotor, a site included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, together with the Bay of Kotor and the Bay of Risan. The authors aim to determine the changes in the volume and struc­ture of tourists before and after the pandemic, as well as the gravity areas and countries of origin. In addition, this paper will present the results of the survey “Study of Kotor’s Identity in Crisis” carried out in cooperation with the Tourist Organization of Kotor in 2021 and 2022.
