The year 2024 brought 11.7 million foreign visitors to Albania

11.7 million foreign visitors visited Albania during 2024, an increase of 15.2% compared to 2023.
Minister of Tourism and Environment Mirela Kumbaro made the figures public, emphasizing that Albania is on track in terms of sustainable growth in inflows, and has consolidated a diversified tourist offer.

Beyond the increases in tourist arrivals from countries in the region, 2024 has confirmed the growth and stability of markets from Western Europe such as Italy, Germany, France or the United Kingdom and has expanded the map of distant markets and brought more visitors from them closer.

"The consolidation of Western European markets such as Italy, Germany, France, Spain or Britain, in addition to growth from countries in the region and the approach of visitors from distant Asian and American markets, coupled with the extraordinary impact on the economy such as the 3.8 billion euros generated by tourism in just 9 months of 2024 or the increase in the standards of accommodation structures are the best indicators of the vision that is becoming reality, the prestigious promotion and the good experiences created year after year," said Minister Kumbaro.
