As the region is on the cusp of development, the ATS meeting has a unique opportunity to make a positive contribution to the development of a sustainable tourism policy that will benefit the local communities as well as preserve the cultural traditions.
This year's program, in which ATS delegates join with the local communities to help repair a local cultural heritage site, will take place in the Deçan area, located near the Albanian border in western Kosovo and perhaps best known for its historic 13th-century Orthodox monastery, Dečani, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004.
It is amazing to hear the enthusiastic feedback, not just from the students, but the ATS delegates, who find the teaching sessions one of the most gratifying parts of the conference.
