Parachute Jumping in Vlora – 100 competitors in ‘Albania Open Air’ event on May 8-11

The parachute jump, the annual activity “Albania Open Air”, has gathered many tourists in Vlorë, part of the adrenaline-filled race. A tourist from Slovenia has traveled for three consecutive days for more than 1 kilometer to reach the coastal city.
“I decided last year to be part of the race, which marks its 25th anniversary this year. I have participated 7 times before. I decided to travel by bike, covering over 340 kilometers a day. It wasn’t difficult because in my mind was Vlora and this wonderful event,” said the tourist.
In support of his wife, part of the competition that will be held this year from May 8 to 11, is also this tourist from Slovenia.
“My wife loves it here, beautiful nature and plenty to see, people are also very friendly. It’s different from Slovenia, things are more natural, more organic,” said another tourist.
Another tourist from the European continent joins parachute jumping for the first time.
“I come from Poland, my first time here in Albania. I think we’ll have a good race,” said the tourist.
This tourist from France eagerly anticipates such events.
“I come from France, it’s the fourth time I’ve been to Albania. And each time it gets better. I like the organization here, everything is very beautiful,” said the French tourist.
Part of the parachuting activity are tourists who come for the first time as vacationers from England.
“I chose this place to celebrate my birthday with friends. We will parachute, dive, and sail,” said the tourist.
For the organizer Alket Islami, who is organizing “Albania Open Air” for the 25th time, says this activity is a promotional opportunity.
