MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF TOURISM IN ALBANIA

In the context of the expansion and development of the tourism industry in Albania, we have analyzed in a multi-directional approach the economic, social and environmental performance, treating it according to the tourism sustainability model.

This analysis, considering all the most important tourism development policy documents, has adapted the arguments according to strategic planning, suggesting the development of tourism as a multisectoral sector that should ensure an appropriate balance between the current and future opportunities of the areas in a economy based not only on tourism.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF TOURISM IN ALBANIA, 2024 is designed at the methodological level with many perspectives on tourism. The paper presents a scheme that combines a confrontation of the arguments and facts of the tourism industry with the demands and reality of the economy and Albanian families.

The analysis provides an analysis, adopting a multidimensional methodology, using different sources of information on the general trend and development of the tourism industry in Albania, and some comparative approaches with the countries of our region.

Our analysis aims to develop a composite document that will be used for a comparative analysis of the sustainability performance of Albanian tourist regions and compared with the performance of neighboring countries.The summary preparation of the indicators was made possible with the support of ALTAX staff. Their meticulous attention to detail has been an inspiration and has kept our work on track from the initial moment until the final draft of this paper was prepared.
