Description
Tourism development is a broadly diversified activity from the rest of economic sectors. While in the economy a competition between the sectors is a key to better selection and specialization, tourism in general has some exceptions arising from the state support due to the importance this sector has in promoting the country abroad, through promotion, subsidies and programs, including intrastate programs and from the European Union. The main reason behind such a support lies on the needs of people for holidays, relax, health and food. The Republic of Kosovo has an area of 10.887 km2 and a population of 1.8 million, where tourism development is seen as a need for the people at home as well as foreigners who visit Kosovo. The strategy of tourism development should come as a result of interaction between many factors, among others, agribusiness and standardization of goods and services in Kosovo which, if developed at a satisfactory level, can generate new jobs and economic growth. Although tourism potential in Kosovo as a small country does not offer many choices, it has got some exclusive preconditions that are available in the mountains of Sharr, Curst Mountains, historical sites such as the city of Prizren, the Vushtrri Castle and many archaeological sites of different historical periods, are some of many examples for pushing the support in this respect. To find out where does Kosovo stand in this process and perspective, the aim of this paper is to critically assess the interaction between tourism and agriculture products as potential for agritourism, and address some recommendations as which would be a better alternative of its development.

Tourism development is a broadly diversified activity from the rest of economic sectors. While in the economy a competition between the sectors is a key to better selection and specialization, tourism in general has some exceptions arising from the state support due to the importance this sector has in promoting the country abroad, through promotion, subsidies and programs, including intrastate programs and from the European Union. The main reason behind such a support lies on the needs of people for holidays, relax, health and food. The Republic of Kosovo has an area of 10.887 km2 and a population of 1.8 million, where tourism development is seen as a need for the people at home as well as foreigners who visit Kosovo. The strategy of tourism development should come as a result of interaction between many factors, among others, agribusiness and standardization of goods and services in Kosovo which, if developed at a satisfactory level, can generate new jobs and economic growth. Although tourism potential in Kosovo as a small country does not offer many choices, it has got some exclusive preconditions that are available in the mountains of Sharr, Curst Mountains, historical sites such as the city of Prizren, the Vushtrri Castle and many archaeological sites of different historical periods, are some of many examples for pushing the support in this respect. To find out where does Kosovo stand in this process and perspective, the aim of this paper is to critically assess the interaction between tourism and agriculture products as potential for agritourism, and address some recommendations as which would be a better alternative of its development.
