The rate of increase in the entry of foreign citizens into the country in June has slowed down compared to the previous months.

The data published by INSTAT revealed that a total of 1.24 million foreign citizens entered the country in June, with an increase of 23.6% compared to the same period a year ago.

A month ago, in May, the arrivals of foreigners had increased by 38%. The record for this year is held by February, with an expansion of 55%, in an indication that tourism is extending throughout the year, as the country is attracting more and more travelers interested not only in the sea but also in history, culture, the cuisine.

For the January-June period, the arrivals of citizens in the country have increased by 34%, from 38%, which was the expansion for the 5th month.

In the last two years, Albania has experienced the best historical period for tourism, with the arrival of foreign nationals reaching 10 million in 2023.

The positive trend has continued this year as well, but with the beginning of summer, the increase in prices seems to have slowed down the arrivals. The foreigners in Albania come mainly because the country is advertised as a cheap destination.
