The Albanian government has given special attention to developing agrotourism. It aims to significantly increase the sector’s impact on the economy by 2027, especially in rural areas.

Through the Agrotourism Strategy and support measures, the government encourages local businesses. These businesses help grow the rural economy and preserve cultural heritage.

Prime Minister Edi Rama shared today the story of Dionis Tuçi. After living in Italy for several years, Dionis returned to his hometown in Pukë, Fushë-Arrëz. There, he opened the restaurant “Mish n’Tra.”

The restaurant offers fresh products from local farmers and traditional dishes. It keeps alive the Tuçi family’s culinary legacy, which began in the 1990s.

“After gaining valuable experience at ‘Mrizi i Zanave’ and ‘Mullixhiu,’ Dionis came back with a full heart,” Rama said. “He fulfilled an old family wish by reopening the Tuçi family restaurant, which had closed 20 years ago.”

Supporting these types of projects remains a government priority. By combining tradition, local products, and authentic visitor experiences, Albania aims to expand its tourism offer.
