During the event, the importance of the tourism sector for economies was highlighted, as well as the promotion of the Western Balkans region and the creation of a joint tourist offer through which untouched nature, unity of culture, tradition, natural beauty and various attractions will be presented in an area that is completely undiscovered and unique, and and interesting for tourists from the U.S.. The American tourism market is characterized by discerning travelers, who value specific and unique experiences and personalized services, who travel throughout the year and prefer to discover hidden destinations, unique experiences and attractions.
