“It is the second time for me to come to Albania. It is very important for us Austrians to come here as Albania is a good destination. I think that your country has a great potential for tourism, especially after the many investments that have been made, in infrastructure such as roads in hotels and the restoration of cultural monuments such as churches, etc. and this is a good chance for us,” said the austrian tourist.

This year marked the 45th anniversary of International Museum Day. With the start of the summer season Apollonia National Park has attracted the attention of many foreign and domestic visitors.
