Flying high: Albania’s tourism boosted once more as British Airways introduce daily flights to the capital, Tirana
Albania’s tourism market continues to fly high this year with national flag carrier British Airways increasing the frequency of flights between London and Tirana, Albania’s capital.
The introduction of daily direct flights instead of the previous four days per week schedule is thought to be due to an increase in passengers wanting to explore the Balkan country.
In addition, BA has also reduced its ticket prices with a return ticket to London costing only €217 including taxes according to reports.
This excellent news comes just days after Albania’s Deputy Minister of Tourism Suzana Turku stated that Albania was visited by 1.2 million tourists between January and June of this year while revenue from tourism increased 8.5% in the first half of 2011 compared to the same period last year.
Ravin Maharajah, Partner of Lalzit Bay Resort & Spa, the 5* luxury residential development located on Albania’s Adriatic coastline comments,
“The future is looking bright for Albania. With high numbers of tourists already flocking to the country this year combined with the new daily BA flights, Albania is set to explode as a tourist destination in the next 5 years generating considerable revenue as highlighted in the findings. Albania’s biggest attractions, aside from its distinctive cultural and historical charm as well as a balmy Mediterranean climate, has to be the low cost of living and an ever improving infrastructure.
“Due to join the EU in 2014, this country shows every positive sign of going the way other Southern European countries such as Croatia and Montenegro have over the past 10 years. Interest from international second home buyers is steadily increasing as people realise the buying opportunity is now – not after the prices have gone up.”
