Tourists Stranded After Passport Mix-Up

47 Israelis delayed in Sarajevo following bizarre hotel mishap

A group of 47 Israeli tourists found themselves stranded in Sarajevo when their passports were mistakenly discarded by hotel staff. The unusual incident forced a scramble with authorities to replace the documents and arrange departures.

While resolved within days, the episode highlights the challenges Bosnia faces in managing a surge of visitors as tourism booms.

Hospitality standards, logistics, and infrastructure are under greater scrutiny as the country positions itself as a rising Balkan destination.

For Sarajevo—where tourism is increasingly central to economic recovery—the story serves as a reminder that reputational risks can emerge from even the smallest mishaps.
