EU for Economic Development – Tourism-led, local, economic development, with a focus on Cultural Heritage

The Byllis Archaeological Park is one of the most significant
archaeological sites of Albania. By Decision of the Council of Ministers
no. 396, issued on 31.3.2005, the area was proclaimed as Archaeological
Park of Byllis, including zoning and regulation of administration.
Cultural heritage is a powerful development asset that can help attract
tourists, bring revenues, regenerate local economies, promote inclusion,
boost cultural diversity and enhance territorial identity.
The project considers cultural heritage as a key driver to inclusive
growth. The Action will contribute to change through short-term,
intermediate and long-term outcomes in three domains: Inclusive
approach, Participatory approach and Capacity-building identifying
interventions – in well-defined contexts – jointly with beneficiaries and
end-users. The projects targets local economic development through
enhancement of the site’s touristic potential.
