Prepare a Master Plan and Feasibility Study for Communal Infrastructure Works in Albania Alps Area

This project is “An assignment to analyze tourism development potential and market demand in the Albanian Alps and prepare a suitable tourism development strategy”. It is designed to provide support to the Albanian Development Fund for planning and implementing investments aimed at developing tourism in the Albanian Alps Region.

The overall objective of this project is “to provide a sustainable socioeconomic development plan for the communities of the Albanian Alps, which will show different options for financing the basic municipal infrastructures and services, the feasibility of each option and their risks and assumptions.”

The project aims to demonstrate the viability and sustainability of such a development plan based on the demand assessment for rural tourism and will propose a marketing plan for developing competitive tourism activities. 

The project is funded from the Council of Europe Bank (CEB) and it is implemented from the consortium headed by PM Group and Institute of Public and Private Policies (IP3), as local partner.

The target area is a selected geographical area of the Albanian Alps. However, the activities do not focus exclusively on that area, but extend to nearby economic functional units such as the whole territory of Shkodra, Vau i Dejës and Tropojë, plus bordering municipalities (Fushë Arrës and Puka).
