Our Story
Nasir Tourism was founded in August 1988 by Abdulaqim Bajrami, becoming one of the first privately established tourism agencies in Macedonia.
Our story, however, began long before the agency was founded. From childhood, Abdulaqim worked alongside his father, Hebib Bajrami, and later with his two brothers in the private transportation business. Through years of hard work and dedication, the family built their livelihood around passenger and vehicle transportation.
The year 1988 brought profound hardship and tragedy. During a period of severe political persecution of Albanians under the former communist regime, Abdulaqim's brother, Nasir Bajrami, was tragically killed in April 1988 at the age of just 32. The loss deeply affected the entire family and brought an abrupt end to the work and ambitions that Abdulaqim had shared with his brothers.
Faced with these difficult circumstances, Abdulaqim found himself having to rebuild both personally and professionally. While caring for his own family, he also felt a deep responsibility toward his late brother's wife and his two young daughters.
During this period of reflection, he began considering a new direction. He had always dreamed of working in passenger transportation and tourism, and he recognized that there was a significant need for such services among Albanians in Macedonia. Despite the painful memories and challenges surrounding him, he decided to turn that dream into reality.
In August 1988, Nasir Tourism was established.
A Name With Meaning
The agency could have been given many names—something connected to travel, tourism, or a name that would be easily recognized around the world. But Abdulaqim chose something much more personal.
He chose the name NASIR, in memory of his beloved brother.
What began as a tribute to a brother became the foundation of a family business that has continued its journey for decades. The name Nasir Tourism carries with it a story of family, perseverance, remembrance, and hope.
Today, we proudly carry that name forward.
Our journey has never been only about transportation or tourism. It is about people, trust, family, and the belief that even in the most difficult circumstances, it is possible to build something meaningful for future generations.
Nasir Tourism — a journey built on family, remembered through generations.
