Tourism in Kosovo
Kosovo, known for its cultural diversity and natural beauty, has seen an increase in tourist arrivals in recent years. In 2022, the country received 297,588 foreign tourists, an increase from 177,358 in 2019, as documented in travel.gjirafa.com. This shows Kosovo’s potential as an emerging travel destination.
Particular highlights of the region are Pristina with its mix of historical and modern architecture, Prizren with its charming old town center and the Sharr Mountains, which offer numerous leisure activities. The tourism sector contributes significantly to Kosovo's economy and is a significant source of employment for many people in the region, supported by local businesses and infrastructure projects.
The new flight connection from Salzburg not only improves accessibility to Pristina, but also promotes economic exchange between the two countries. The Kosovo government is also working to further expand the tourism infrastructure and position the country as an attractive travel destination in Europe.
