"Albania, a very good tourist offer" - Gonxha: The war in the Middle East is increasing visitors

The war in the Middle East could boost tourism in Albania, said Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports Blendi Gonxhja at a press conference.
In his speech, Gonxha said that Albania has one of the best tourist offers.
"Tourists are increasing, as far as those who would go to the Middle East are concerned, unfortunately, because we are not satisfied with anyone's misfortune, but Albania is a very good alternative for new plans. Those who would go to the Middle East for tourism will have Albania as one of the best offers and this is happening. If there have been contracts from Middle Eastern countries to come to Albania, this is happening ," said Gonxha.
Regarding year-round tourism, Gonxha said that the Ministry of Tourism is collaborating with the Ministry of Local Government, so that every area of the country has something to offer tourists, from culinary to culture.
Meanwhile, in his speech, the minister emphasized that there is an increase in funding for culture and this has led to the sale of more tickets, bringing income to institutions.
