Development of urban (city) tourism in Kosovo

Abstract

In order to fully understand these concepts we will first define tourism and then urban tourism. Therefore tourism can be defined as an activity by which a person can realize and improve his characteristics, i.e. the characteristics of their humanity in any respect, and in addition it is also viewed as a set of relationships and occurrences arising from the stay of visitors in various tourist destinations which do not concern their stay and that they stay there for recreation and pleasure, rather than earning a profit. Urban tourism includes all forms of tourism and services that take place in urban areas that influence the conduct of various cultural events, manifestations, sports - recreational elements etc. Urban tourism is an increasingly important area of economic activity and, as such, should have a more proportionate level of development. In order for tourists to be satisfied with a tourist destination, we have to satisfy their needs and provide them with the best conditions in order to feel like at home. In addition to this, it is also important to mention the cultural tourism as very important in presentation cultural events in Kosovo which has a favorable climate and multiple natural, cultural and historical resources that represents the basis of its tourist resources.
