Albania, a "magnet" for tourists on a limited budget - Even "Rough Guides" recommends us as one of the 20 cheapest countries
Tourism in Albania has seen a remarkable surge in the last two years, breaking monthly records and drawing international attention. From the enchanting beaches of the south to the cultural riches of the north, our country is shining as one of Europe's most affordable and attractive destinations.
According to “Skift Research”, Albania is ranked as one of the most budget-friendly countries, while the “World Tourism Organization” qualifies it as one of the best performers in increasing tourist flows. Meanwhile, “Focus” magazine describes our country as a “hidden gem”, with extraordinary potential for attracting visitors in the future. Finally, according to Rough Guides, Albania is ranked among the 20 most budget-friendly countries in the world.
With an estimated average daily budget, according to Rough Guides, of $92, Albania ranks among the most economical countries in the world to travel, offering significant value for every euro spent. Food is estimated at an average of $34 per day, transportation at $15, while accommodation averages $58 per night, with prices dropping significantly outside of the tourist season.
According to the publication, what sets Albania apart, according to Rough Guides, is not just its low price, but its quality-cost ratio. The beaches with crystal-clear waters in the south, such as in Ksamil or Dhërmi, offer experiences that would cost three times as much in other Mediterranean countries.
