TOURISM IN KOSOVO AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENT DEVELOPMENT
Journal Title: Knowledge International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Tourism and touristic offers have a global reach and are quite competitive. Given the current development throughout the world of tourism and its impact on the economy of a country, the total income that a country generates in this industry, contributing this way to GDP, among the countries that can benefit from tourism is Kosovo. Tourist product is a package with several elements, whereas the most important elements are: attractions, entertainment services, accommodation, food, travel, transportation and infrastructure development related to them. While the conditions that influence the development of tourism are: the current political situation and political stability, as well as marketing. Although with a touristic passage, Kosovo has not developed such a service because of an economic stagnation in the 1990s, including the last war, where as any other sector tourism was damaged and left out. Once the war ended, Kosovo with all the problems followed, such as administrative and economic, started to rehabilitate itself in the tourism sector as well. Today, we have a sufficient number of tour operators who offer national and international tourists solid offers for tourism. Given that the economy is the law of the environment, and given that nature cannot continually provide us with prosperity, it is incumbent on every person to work and preserve to ensure their existence, while maintaining nature. Therefore, we as human beings have to know how to administer and work with nature which is limited as a whole as opposed to human requirements. Kosovo began its economic transition after a war that left consequences on people and the economy, so the transition to the market economy had its own challenges where even after two decades. Despite the efforts, Kosovo still does not fully function as a market economy. By integrating into the bigger countryside called Globalization, in order to be competitive with the regional economies and beyond, we must have comparative advantage to be competitive as a country at an international level. In all international and local reports and studies, Kosovo's advantages are continuously provided to the underground, tourism, with particular emphasis on mountain and cultural tourism, as well as the new population as a workforce. The functioning of the contemporary economy, besides being competitive and productive both at the micro and macroeconomic level, besides economic development, we must take care of the environment around us. It is a priority for the Kosovo economy and the life of the citizens to develop tourism based on the beautiful nature, cultural monuments, traditional and unique food for foreign tourists. Through scientific data, reports and professional studies, I will provide solid knowledge for scientific intersections, tourists and businesses in the field of tourism.
