TIRANA, June 19 /ATA/-The government of Albania schemes for development of agri-tourism in the country have yielded the first results.

At the “Huqi” agri-tourism firm was held today the workshop “Rural Development through support of agri-tourism” to share the experience with the “100 villages” as a comparative approach between Tuscany and Albania.
Culture Minister Elva Margariti said during the meeting that, “Visionaries brought the best experience from abroad adapting it with the Albanian context. There are models of success, but some separate isles are not enough”.
