For tourism development in a specific geographical area, in addition to attractive and communicative factors, it is essential that there are adequate receptive factors, that is, capacities that ensure the reception, lounge and other services to tourists. Their corresponding concentration affects the activation of attractive factors in tourism offer and along with the communication factors that enable tourists to travel, they just give the base to a specific area to obtain the status of a tourist town. In other words, the receptive capacities are the material base of tourism which allow the realization, but also limit the tourist traffic in a specific area. Today, despite the rapid growth of accommodation capacities and tourism activities in Montenegro, an open question of their regionalization in spatial distribution still remains, as the cause and consequence of past and present political and economic conditions in this area. An aim of this paper is to present the current volume, structure and spatial distribution of the accommo­dation capacities in Montenegro and to provide some new data about their planned future development.
