On 28 September 2018, CNVP Albania attended the meeting Tourism Development in the Ohrid Prespa Region held in Korça to celebrate World Tourism Day. The meeting was organised by the National Agency of Protected Areas (NAPA), the Prefecture of Korça and the Transboundary Biosphere Reserve Prespa Project (PRESPA-Albania).

The event was attended by stakeholders and institutions working in the wider Ohrid-Prespa region, and outlined the opportunities for sustainable tourism development under different initiatives, including improving the marketing channel for local products and income generating opportunities. The event strengthened the tourism identity of the area, and created an opportunity for the socio-economic development of the Ohrid-Prespa region, including preservation of its natural and cultural heritage.

CNVP Albania’s attendance at the meeting strengthened its partnership and collaboration possibilities with key stakeholders in the region, including PONT and PRESPA-Albania.
