Several countries reported extraordinary arrival increases for 2023 compared to 2019: Qatar, 98% more, Saudi Arabia 64%, and Albania 54%. The UN agency's report confirms a long-standing trend: Foreign tourists' interest in Albania has increased significantly. The figures speak clearly: the tourism sector is strengthening daily even outside summer season.
Insta's data showed that there was an increase of visitors in January by almost 100% compared to the same period of 2022. The number of interior tourists, from some 260 thousand January last year to 450,000 on January this year, was also double growth. In 2022, about 7.5 million people visited Albania, an increase of 32% compared to a year ago.
Tourism in our country has experienced a significant increase in recent years, which has also been conveyed to prestigious international magazines and newspapers, attracting music festivals and causing excellent comments from the influencers of Instagram and YouTube.
Closed by the world for nearly half a century, Albania, foreign correspondents say, has worked hard on its image to attract tourists to its coastline of about 300 miles, in the magnificent landscape, in the castles and castles, and in the varied range of mountains and lakes.
It was recently ranked by the World Tourism Organisation as one of the countries with the best tourism recovery after COVIDD-19, with the number of visitors and revenues from tourism exceeding the first levels of pandemic.
