A workshop was held in Tirana on 25 April 2023, as part of the capitalisation actions of the P.A.S.T.4Future project. The focus of the activity was the P.A.S.T.4Future project and its main achievement to promote and strengthen the Accessible and Sustainable (A&S) tourist offer in the cross border area between Italy, Albania and Montenegro, through the diversification of tourist products and services.

The project was a significant step toward creating investments in the infrastructure which aim to make tourism a service accessible to everyone, encouraging the increase in the flow of tourists, especially those with temporary or permanent special needs. This project has brought the example and practice of creating and offering accessible tourism to individuals with special needs, becoming the initiator of initiatives aimed at the latter.

The project has served as an instrument to help and facilitate the Ministry of Finance and Economy as  Lead Partner in its goal for establishing relations with partner countries and exchanging experiences related to accessible and sustainable tourism, creating spaces for new collaborations with these countries, as partners in projects with a similar focus, in order to contribute to growth and strengthening the institutional instruments of tourism policies, both at the local and cross-border levels.

The workshop was very constructive and interactive, and participants shared their thoughts and their experience related to accessible and sustainable tourism.
