“A Day with the Shepherd” is a winning project of the TIP Korça platform, supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Environment in partnership with GIZ, introducing a new model of sustainable rural tourism.

The initiative invites visitors to immerse themselves in the daily life of Kolonjë shepherds – from herding livestock and horseback rides to preparing traditional meals and enjoying magical nights under the stars around a campfire.

The project also promotes transhumance, a centuries-old local tradition, creating new economic opportunities for the community while preserving cultural heritage.

These activities have now become part of tourism packages that foster rural development and strengthen the region’s appeal as a sustainable tourist destination.
