Albanians open the "bag" for holidays - On average, an Albanian has spent 380 euros on holidays abroad
Encouraged more and more by low-cost flights and by the devaluation of the euro, Albanians who vacationed abroad during the summer season spent approximately 878 million euros.
The data published by INSTAT, cross-referenced with the latest data from the Bank of Albania, show a clear trend of increased spending, which is closely related to the new opportunities offered by low-priced air tickets and the exchange rate weakening of the euro against the lek.
According to statistics, an Albanian citizen spent an average of 380 euros on holidays abroad or on other services.
Compared to the same period last year, Albanians spent about 16 euros more on vacations and other services abroad.
Another fact worth noting is that the 878 million euros spent during the third quarter of this year also constitute the highest figure ever recorded by the data of the Bank of Albania.
This is a strong indicator of the increase in demand for travel abroad and the stability of the Albanian economy, which enables greater spending by citizens.
