Public perception studies have a great importance in local and regional studies. Devolli municipality lies in the southeastern part of Albania on the border with the Republic of Greece. It has many natural and cultural assets that offer opportunities for the development of tourism; however this sector is almost undeveloped. The purpose of the work consists in promoting the natural and cultural heritage of Devoll Municipality, studying the public perception on the recognition of these values as well as providing opportunities for the creation of a strategy for their good management in function of sustainable development. The use of literature review, field work, statistical and analytical methods was necessary for the realization of this study. Through using Google Forms, was created a questionnaire which was completed by the residents of the Devolli municipality. The results and conclusions will make possible a comparison of the real natural and cultural potentials and the level of informing the population about these potentials. This study will influence the undertaking of promotional and incentive policies for the development of tourism in the Devoll municipality.
