TIRANA, April 6/ATA/-The government of Albania is creating the conditions for elite tourism through the facilities it is offering to the hospitality accommodation infrastructure of 4 and 5 start hotels.
At the opening of the second edition of the Mediterranean Tourism Fair Tirana 2018, Prime Minister Edi Rama highlighted the indispensability of stimulating off-season tourism in Albania.
“We have always seen tourism in summer season and at the seaside. There is a growing demand even for mountain tourism”, said PM Rama.
From the geographical viewpoint, the country has a combination of sea and mountainous areas. According to the prime minister, the country has the potential to enhance the tourist season over a longer period than the summer time.
“We have addressed the vacuum created with the hospitality infrastructure especially with that part that was totally absent, the certified 4 and 5 star hotels. These hotels generate the highest revenues as compared to the smallest number of the tourists who frequent it”, said PM Rama.
The prime minister said that the new law envisages significant facilities and rather competitive in all the Mediterranean region and the Western Balkans creating the conditions for the investors in tourism to consider the country as a rather attractive destination for investments in its elite hospitality infrastructure.
The reduction of VAT on all the tourist accommodation infrastructure into 6%, according to PM Rama, will support tourism in Albania as a competitive force that has the opportunity of gaining ground in a competitive space./p.s./
