Albania considers sustainable partnerships for tourist areas

Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that the government is considering establishing sustainable partnerships between public institutions and communities in tourist areas. These pilot projects aim to organize communities into associations tasked with protecting the environment, such as preventing illegal logging and clearing waste.

Rama emphasized that natural resources are a vital part of the tourism offering. He warned that damage to these resources could directly affect the economic activity of local communities. The initiative calls for joint commitment from the state, communities, and local operators.
