Sustainable Tourism in Albania Economic Value and Destination Management

Tourism is one of the driving sectors for the economy in Albania. In order to continue to be an important sector and compete in the future, it is necessary to follow the stages of sustainable tourism in an increasingly green and sustainable context towards the habitat that surrounds us. The proposed work highlights the efforts both in terms of policies implemented by the government for sustainable tourism and in terms of responses that have been given by the same structures in the sector in order to interact with tourism increasingly based on good practices regarding enhancement of the territory. In the previous work, we started talking about the sustainability indicators that the European Union has made available to tourist destinations as a guideline. A European guideline must be adapted to the Albanian territory under study. A territory must be attractive for tourism from many points of view and above all it must be able to convey hospitality, its traditions, culinary culture, etc. to visitors. In short, its strengths that we will calculate through socio-economic data of its residents. In doing so, each territorial district will have a placement of "tourist attractiveness": The starting point for building the System of European Indicators for Tourism. The starting data are processed using mathematical-statistical methods for the construction of two important indicators within the European ETIS system: Destination management and the economic value that the sustainable tourism sector can implement.
