Prime Minister Edi Rama presented today the figures of travelers of an international classification for airlines, showing the increase in the number of air passengers to Albania, compared to the figures of 2019 (before the pandemic).

“Those who say that it is the Albanians who fill the planes and not the tourists, they should not forget that even if it were so this is fantastic news, because it means that they have a much greater desire to come to Albania, but also the ticket prices have decreased significantly thanks to the addition of airlines. But it is not exactly like that, because the numbers of foreigners coming to Albania speak for themselves, as does the increase in renting apartments for foreigners, or requests for hotels.

Rama further added: “While those who say that we do not need tourists because they come for fun, they should not forget that the fun of tourists costs money, and the profits from their expenses are taken by the Albanians who work, produce, sell, serve and other things, while the share of income for the state from the increase in economic activity is invested in wages and investments.

“This is Albania’s achievement and all these who come give a positive echo to our country when they return to their countries, so there is no reason not to be happy for Albania when the truth speaks so clearly.”
