First British Tourists Visit Kosovo

A group of 22 British tourists recently spent a holiday weekend in Kosovo, the first tourist group to enjoy the newly formed European nation. The travelers spent the long weekend of May 1-3 in Kosovo on a package deal from a British tour company. The Kosovo company Tourism Planning and Development has worked to develop packages that are designed for British travelers and offered the deal to the British tour operator, Regent Holidays.

The travelers visited the towns of Gjakove, Peje, Istog, Prekaz and the capital city of Pristina. TPD Consulting Director Zeke Ceku told the news site Balkan Insight that the British travelers had an “exceedingly positive” holiday trip. “They specifically enjoyed the great hospitality, diligence, services and attractions,” he said.

The two companies are working on offering more travel deals to Kosovo in the future as the new nation looks to attract visitors.
