At the most recent meeting held by the leaders of the Albanian Tourist Union, they presented their requests to the Ministry of Tourism, which are summarized as follows:
- Implementation of off-season insurance in legal act: (provided for in the Strategy)
- Establishment of dedicated public transport lines to the coast.
- Establishing a Tourism Academy to increase professional capacities for quality tourism.
- Increased participation in international fairs and regional promotional activities.
- Meeting the need for about 30 thousand new jobs in the sector, mainly in hospitality, F&B, beaches, tourist transport, etc.
According to the Albanian Tourist Union, employees can be secured from international markets and for this purpose, the Director of Immigration, present at the meeting, was asked to simplify the procedures for providing residence permits to foreign employees.
The leaders of the Albanian Tourist Union have also made their proposals public through a post on social networks, where they request cooperation with the Minister of Tourism.
