Greeks develop Albanian yacht industry - Venetopoulos: It is a very friendly place to do business
Greek investments in Albania are flooding into the tourism sector. Greek investors have given a boost to the yacht and cruise industry in the south of the country, while at the largest business event "Match Maker Albania", they expressed optimism about continuing investments in other projects in the future.
For Diogenis Venetopoulos, Albania is a very attractive place to invest, considering its strategic position and beautiful coastlines, but also its favorable business climate.
"We have already opened a company here in Tirana, to increase the activity of yachts, cruises, but also land tourism in Albania. I see a very friendly place to do business, an open place to do business and I am very pleased with everything I have seen so far. I am also on the Board of Directors of the Cruise Ship Owners Association and I am encouraging many cruise lines, other cruise lines, to invest in Albania, that is, in the coastal part."
The Head of the Department of Economy and Trade at the Greek Embassy, Marios Belibasakis, stated that construction and energy are two other sectors where investments from Greece are concentrated.
"Albania is a very good market and there are many opportunities for Greek investors in the sectors of energy, construction, building materials, tourism and many, many other areas. You know, we are neighboring countries, we have many things, agritourism, the food sector, many areas that we can work together and create opportunities for the people of both countries."
According to the latest data from the Bank of Albania, during the past year, the flow of investments from Greece reached the value of 15 million euros.
