Tourism as a priority<\/i><\/p>\n
In recent years, the tourism industry has increased its contribution to the country’s economy in terms of money and employment. In the next four years, the Government will promote the diversification of tourism in order to have a more sustainable and year-round tourism. The intended objectives are:<\/p>\n
4 national tourist destinations will be consolidated; Albanian Alps, New South, Ports and Marinas, Tirana;<\/i><\/p>\n Investing in knowledge and skills will be a priority for tourism development. This will aim to foster a workforce with the right education and skills in the tourism sector, emphasizing the continuous education and training of personnel at all levels.<\/p>\n In the tourism sector in the second term, the Government will build marketing and promotion that will target regional and international digital and social media.<\/p>\n Albania will create its own brand and make it as unique as possible. This brand will be promoted intelligently and with innovative means; with new annual spots that will stimulate the curiosity to discover unknown destinations.<\/p>\n Cultural Tourism<\/strong><\/p>\n In the 2017-2021 mandate, the Government prioritizes maintaining and improving the quality standard in cultural productions, intensifying investments in this sector, independence of the cultural scene from public structures (increasing funding sources and public-private partnerships) and the use of culture as a source of economy and tourism.<\/p>\n Within the term 2017-2021, the works for the complete reconstruction of the Opera and Ballet Theater will be completed, the multifunctional art center “Turbina” will be completed, investments will be made in multifunctional cultural centers in cities where the Urban Renaissance has significantly increased interest in culture.<\/p>\n In Tirana, cultural investments will have three priorities in this second mandate: retraining and reconceptualization of the National Historical Museum; reconstruction of the National Library; rehabilitation of the National Art Gallery as an important center of Albanian art history. In cooperation with the Municipality of Tirana, we will also start construction for the New National Theatre, and the construction of a Museum of Contemporary Art in the new infrastructural axes that are being added to the capital.<\/p>\n Culture not as a chance for some, but as a real right for all will be concretized in the continuation of the reform in art institutions and cultural policies, where it will strongly emphasize “education through culture” in professional standards. Mass education with art and culture in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, interfering in school curricula on the one hand and including in every art institution the pedagogical and educational line on the other hand, will be a priority in the second term.<\/p>\n Cultural heritage as a combination of the Urban Renaissance program with that of the rehabilitation of historical centers, will consolidate the successful model of reviving cultural heritage as a tourist destination.<\/p>\n Priority will be given to the combination of cultural tourism with agrotourism through the Rural Renaissance program, which will aim at the restoration of the historical centers of villages with historical potential such as QH Rehovo, QH Theth, QH Dh\u00ebrmi, QH Vuno, QH P\u00ebrmet.<\/p>\n New tourist itineraries with a cultural character will be promoted, such as “Roads of Faith”, old historical and commercial corridors, such as “Via Egnatia”, combining cultural heritage, cuisine and handicrafts.<\/p>\n The “Paths of Memory” are also a unique itinerary of Albania that will continue to highlight the historical and educational aspect of the sites of the former dictatorship such as Spa\u00e7i or Tepelena, following the already well-known museum projects of Memory.<\/p>\n On the international scene, culture will continue to strengthen its qualitative presence as our best passport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tourism Tourism as a priority In recent years, the tourism industry has increased its contribution to the country’s economy in terms of money and employment.
