ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Water is a key resource for tourism and services to tourists are heavily dependent on it. Water can become a constraint to sustainable development, a limit on tourist activities and an issue of conflict with local residents.

Anthropogenic activities, inherited industrial wastes and present, have caused and continue to cause pollution of soils, surface and groundwater. Reducing the level of pollution with contemporary technology, is a challenge for both our countries. In this context, the implementation of adequate policies for sustainable development is important, where science has a key role in the benefit of integrated water resources management.

Recognizing the importance of these issues for the economic development in the region, the Albanian Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo invite researchers, policymakers, industry experts, and stakeholders to the International Conference on Integrated Water Management for Sustainable Tourism Development. This event will focus on the relationship between water resources and tourism development in both countries and in the region, emphasizing the crucial role of an integrated water management in development of a sustanaible tourism, ensuring environmental protection and long-term economic benefits.
