Blendi Gonxhja met tourism operators in Saranda to discuss year-round, sustainable tourism.

He said Saranda and Albania have strong potential to offer unique experiences in every season, not only in summer months. He stressed the need for higher standards, better hospitality, and stronger cooperation between destinations.

Gonxhja said the goal is not tourism based on numbers, but tourism based on value. He explained that this approach should bring development for local communities and income for families.

He added that investments in the blue economy, marinas, navigation, infrastructure, and the environment will make the Albanian coast more competitive. He also said visitors should return and become ambassadors of the country.

Saranda, located on the Ionian Sea, continues to attract thousands of tourists with its landscapes, beaches, and unique natural sites throughout the year.
