Sport and recreational tourism in the present time in Montenegro, it is actually one of the special forms of tourism that has a high tendency of growth. Mountainous area Trešnjevik-Lisa abounds in sports-recreational facilities that are only partially used. Many experts consider tourism today as a complex phenomenon, and it is also the subject of very frequent research. Almost everywhere in the world there is an area visited by tourists every day. Trends and society are changing, but the motives of traveling remain the same. There is a growing imperative to sports and recreation on vacation because of the hectic everyday life (Kalavarić, 2017). The mountainous area Trešnjevik-Lisa can be reached from two directions with a relatively good traffic connection: Kolašin-Mateševo-Bara Kralja (21 km) and from Andrijevica-via Most Bandović (15 km). The goal of developing of sports and recreational tourism in this mountainous area and its surroundings is to provide tourists with: establishing a balance between functional, motor and working abilities, satisfying social needs through entertainment, leisure and socializing, as well as rest, relaxation and recovery (Zegnal, Pletenac, 2010). The results of the research showed that sports and recreational facilities exist in only two tourist objects and that should strive for the construction of tourist accommodation facilities expanding the offer, introducing innovations, standardizing and improving sports-recreational content in the coming period, which would greatly contribute to the development of mountain areas Trešnjevik-Lisa as a destination of sports-recreational tourism.
