Tourism comprises the activities of people travelling and staying in di erent places from the

country of their habitual residence, for a period not longer than one calendar year, and the

purpose of this trip is leisure.

Tourism, somehow, includes the natural resources of a country or a particular region. Many

countries pay primary importance to tourism development. But besides the natural resources,

human resources for the industry are also rated as 'raw material' or are predicted by experts

as the most important factor that will be coped by the industry over the past decades and

the next.

I

t is not enough for a country to be rich in natural beauty in order to be a tourist

destination. There should interact: be er management, culture, tradition, welcoming, quality

of service, etc.

A

a ect the economic growth of a country

.

S

upporting the development of traditional economic branches has not brought any major e ect

on the ongoing development in Kosovo, so that enrichment of economic structure and the

development of new branches provide an important opportunity for qualitative advancement

of the economy and the entire Kosovo society. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some

aspects which identify opportunities and the importance of providing tourism development

in the growth and progress of the Kosovo society
