Shkodra is emerging as a fast-growing destination for tourism and short-term rentals.

First, Mayor Benet Beci cited data from Monitor magazine. He said the figures show a clear path toward success. According to the report, Monitor calls Shkodra a “new rising star.” The label comes from an analysis of Airbnb data on short-term rental apartments.

Moreover, the report shows rising tourist numbers. It also shows solid revenues. In addition, available rental units doubled in just one year. At the same time, the number of active businesses increased. As a result, the outlook for the local economy looks encouraging.

Beci said the data may not fit opposition claims about mass business closures. However, he stressed that facts remain clear. Finally, Beci said Shkodra has just begun its journey toward success. He added that the city has every reason to move forward with confidence.
