This event is an addition to many similar ones, which have taken place in Tirana and Korà§a. In organizing these events, the Embassy doesn’t just focus on involving inhabitants and local actors with Albanian mountain tourism, but also on initiating and promoting hiking as a tool to explore our common soil and to maintain a healthy body and spirit. The Ambassador of the Republic of Austria, Johann Sattler, the mayor of Malà«si e Madhe, Tonin Marinaj and the President of the Alpinism Federation, Jani Zizo, will greet the initiation of the event.
Students from the Austrian IT institutions and locals who are interested have been invited by the Embassy to also attend a hike, which will start at 10 am, on the day of the event, from the Natural Rasma Resort. The event will proceed with a joint conference at 12 pm, on mountain tourism and rescue. Some of the topics discussed in the conference will be: the touristic potential and promotion of mountain tourism, the possibility to support the construction project of an Alpine Centre for Malà«si e Madhe, the contribution of hotels and restaurants in the development of mountain tourism, as well as the development of bicycle tourism. The event will conclude with a cocktail organized by the Embassy of Austria.
