Tourism in Albania has been exploding over the past 5 years.  Through September 2023, Albania saw over 8.3 million foreign arrives, which is 30% greater than the same time period in 2022 tourists.  In addition, these figures represent a substantial increase over pre-pandemic, 2019 levels. Based on discussions with the Ministry of Tourism, these figures continue to be strong into the fourth quarter.  In July 2022, Conde Nast Traveller rated Tirana as the 2nd most underrated city in Europe.  Conde Nast’s recognition of Albania for its beaches and as a foodie destination continues to help propel the growth in the tourism sector.    Sources : CondeNastTraveller :https ://www.cntraveller.in/gallery/the-most-underrated-european-cities-according-to-seasoned-travellers/ Trading Economics: https://tradingeconomics.com/albania/tourist-arrivals Albania Ministry of Tourism
