Tourism in Albania is still in its infancy
because the former communist regime did not allow tourism to become established.
Groups of Western tourists were first permitted to visit in the 1980s. It is a
country of natural beauty which includes sandy white Mediterranean beaches,
rocky mountains, fertile plains, lakes, natural monuments, and remote areas.
Official data, presented to the media by the ex-Minister of Tourism, Culture and
Sports, Ylli Pango, showed that 2,089,538 tourists have entered Albania from
abroad during the first six months of 2008, which is a 23 percent increase
compared to the same period of the previous year. In 2009 up to 6.5 million
tourist are expected to visit Albania.
