He starts his lecture, with exploring the topic of "Tourism Planning", which, is the basis for the development of tourism in our country. He stressed that tourism brings benefits for each country. As an example of well-planned tourism project, Mr. Bitoljanu pointed on the project of Subrata Roy from India. He stressed that the country need to build modern infrastructure, municipal infrastructure, good highway’s and many other items in addition for realization and implementation of the project.
Mr. Bitoljanu, stressed that we still have inadequate ways of planning the tourism activities in Macedonia, for example, in the area of winter tourism, especially with investments in resorts, which are located near Kozuf, Sunny Hill, or Mavrovo. Mr. Bitoljanu, in his speech, referred to congress tourism. Especially, Ohrid is a city appropriate to this type of tourism. Due to the fact that the Republic of Macedonia does not have high quality hotels, which is the most serious offer on the market, the country should develop a strategy for construction hotels according high international standards.
