Libohovë is a small town. It lies 17 km from Gjirokastër. Every season, more tourists come. Locals and foreigners visit alike.

The town is rich in beauty. It has history and culture. Tourism is growing. Guesthouses are increasing.

Minister Mirela Kumbaro shared a story. It was about Gerald Usuni. He is a young man from Libohovë.

Gerald lived in Germany. He spent six years there. Then he returned home. He turned his house into a guesthouse.

The house is near Shanisha Castle. It has great views. You can see the castle and Lake Dofti.

The guesthouse is special. The food is traditional. The rooms are warm and welcoming.

Kumbaro praised Gerald’s work. She said Libohovë has great potential. It can grow through sustainable tourism. This means jobs and income for locals.

Gerald said he came back after 10 years. Life abroad was not what he expected. So he returned to invest.

He used his kitchen skills. His family helped with local recipes. Now they host many guests.

“More people are coming,” he said. “We’ll need more staff. I’m proud of our work. I hope other young people do the same. Libohovë has a bright future.”
