"Tourism governance in post-war transition: the case of Kosova" Shqiperim Reka A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 Abstract The aim of this research study was to examine tourism governance in post-war transition with specific reference to the influence of political, economic and social factors, institutional arrangements, collaboration and power relations. Within this context, a crucial objective was to assess the role of mindset. Reviewing the literature in relation to the key concepts, it was discovered that research tends to focus on political and economic transition, whereas the social dimension, despite its importance, is largely neglected. Similarly, tourism governance has been overlooked in studies of tourism in post-war transition. Furthermore, the literature on tourism governance rarely takes the issue of mindset into account. To address these gaps in knowledge, a qualitative research approach was applied to study tourism governance in post-war transitional Kosova.

  • Beyond Your Dreams Beyondbeyond Y Yourour Ddreamsreams
    Beyond your Dreams BeyondBeyond Y yourour Ddreamsreams DestDestınatıonınatıon KOSOVOIsrael Kosovo Kosovo is a disputed territory and de facto independent country in South Eastern Europe, in central Balkans. After a lengthy and often violent dispute with Serbia, Kosovo declared independence in February 2008 and (as of 16 October 2012) 110 UN states recognise this and it has become a member country of the IMF and World Bank as the Republic of Kosovo, despite heavy Serbian opposition. Kosovo, though a secular republic, is largely Albanian-speaking and Muslim but there are also significant numbers of minorities living within its borders, especially Serbs. Kosovo's far north, along with two small regions elsewhere, have a Serb majority and are under local control. Kosovo borders Albania to the west, Montenegro to the north west, Macedonia to the south, and Serbia (from its perspective) to the north east; the latter frontier is viewed by Serbia as being an internal boundary separating Kosovo (as an internal province) with Central Serbia. Beyond your dreams How to get there? By plane Several European airlines offer direct flights from their hubs to the Internaonal Airport of Pris:na There are many direct flights from Germany, Switzerland and some Scandinavian countries, while the main connec:ng hubs are via Vienna (Austrian Airlines), Istanbul (Turkish Airlines) and LuHhansa Group (via Munich or Frankfurt). During the summer, several addi:onal charter flights are available for travellers. By bus From Montenegro, Macedonia, Albenia, Turkey and Serbia, there are direct buses By train There are also two train lines crossing the Kosovo border from Serbia and Macedonia.
