According to the data of the Institute of Statistics, only in the first 6 months of the year, about 3.4 million foreign citizens entered the country, increasing by 33% more than against the same period of the year we left behind. 

Meanwhile, more than 1 million foreign visitors entered the country in June alone. With these statistics, the tourism sector is experiencing the best historical year not only in more tourists in number, but also in the income generated by them. In the first quarter of the year, according to the Bank of Albania, tourism revenues reached 624 million euros. 

Albanian-speaking tourism continues to hold the greatest weight, as visitor arrivals from Kosovo reached over 1.3 million in the first half of the year, about 330 thousand more than the first 6 months of 2022. Tourists have also recorded a significant increase from America, Western Europe as well as East Asia and the Pacific. 

However, there were also many Albanians who went abroad as statistics show that 3 million Albanians travelled across the border this period. This figure was 20% more than last year.
