Rama finds the number of tourists 11 percent to be few

The Albanian government's chief has not expressed enthusiasm with balances in the tourism sector during this period, though there has been an 11% increase of foreign visitors, or with 2.13m total, Koha Ditore writes today.

“is an 11% increase compared to the first 6th month of last year. Today, we speak, in Albania, 220 more hotels -- that is, opened to the hospitality infrastructure -- than a year ago. But I want to stress that it is not enough and we continue to work intensively to ensure a considerable volume of foreign tourism investments. They have already started five-star hotels to sign contracts and we are discussing intensively some major projects that I wish we could start to materialise as contracts in the rest of this year. Let me not give any more information on this, because there are negotiations that are held in privacy, according to entrepreneurs' demand, of foreign investors entering major investors of the global tourism market”, Rama has declared.
