Investment and sustainable development of tourism in kosovo (4)nakije.kida
Investments in sustainable tourism development could be one of the ways to increase the
participation of Kosovo in the global economy by facilitating poverty, in particular through the
creation of employment in micro, small and medium enterprises. Defects in terms of necessary
physical infrastructure, marketing and availability of appropriately qualified human resources are
elements which hinder the sustainable development of tourism. Kosovo promotion at national
and international level would have major effects on the information of tourists. Micro-credits
from micro financial institutions of tourism sector, small enterprises and tourist agencies
together, stimulate tourism and strengthen the link with the other economic sectors. Attracting
investments in tourism, especially FDI, strengthens the link between tourism and organic and
crafts products in Kosovo as a small landlocked country. Attracting tourists in Kosovo will boost
the economy but at the same time, if not well managed, it will have negative impact on the
environment. Tourists are interested in the social, cultural, and environmental issues of the
country they want to visit. They should have knowledge about destination choice,
accommodation, travel, food, markets and the friendly behaviour of Kosovo residents.
Inseparability of production and consumption in space as well as in time make the development
of the green tourism even more necessary. To recover the quality of air, water, food, parks, hotel
environment, countryside beauty areas, investments are necessary, especially those from foreign
sources which are not considered as a debt because Kosovo has insufficient resources to invest.
Diaspora should also be targeted as a significant segment of the market growth, and household
income.
