A Rising Star: Albania marks 100th Anniversary of Independence
Having achieved strong economic growth in recent years on the back of a services and construction boom, 2012 marks the 100th Anniversary of Independence of Albania from the Ottoman Empire in 1912. Indeed, reaching 100 years of independence holds a special significance for this rising Balkan star.
In a speech to mark the centenary of independence, Albanian Prime Minister, Sali Berisha stated: “We have remained together through all circumstances. Deep in the hearts of Albanians there is the principle of “one nation, one stance”. Nothing can divide the spirit of a country”.
To further mark this celebratory event, the Dajti Alpino Touristic Association have decided to embark on one of the most challenging missions known to man – being the first ever Albanian team of climbers to place the national flag on the peak of Everest.
Ravin Maharajah, Partner in Lalzit Bay Resort & Spa, the 5* resort under construction on the stunning Adriatic coastline of Albania comments,
“As one of Europe’s most talked-about holiday destinations and investment territories, it is somehow appropriate that Albania is coming to prominence as the centenary of its independence approaches and conquering Everest is a wonderful way to symbolise the struggle, courage and determination that Albanians have executed over the years. This is a very important year for Albania.
“Indeed, Albania is a mysterious nation, where new tourism projects such as our 5* Lalzit Bay Resort and Spa and other major infrastructure improvements are transforming the country. Albania will have one of the most impressive road networks in the Balkans, with every community having access to a national road within 15-25 minutes. As well as this, Albania known as the ‘Small Norway of the Balkans’ thanks to its excellent water resources will be building 443 hydropower stations due to start in 2020 while energy and mining will continue to be two of the nation’s biggest sectors helping encourage further development and growth throughout the country.”
