Rama wrote that Albania should not “close its doors to major capital investments,” describing this as an important moment for the economy and the future of tourism, at a time when foreign investment is, according to him, increasing in the country.
The post comes amid recent protests in the capital, where citizens and activists have taken to the streets, with demonstrations also accompanied by calls for the government’s resignation.
The article shared by the Prime Minister also highlights new investments on the island of Mykonos, where international hospitality brands such as Four Seasons, Fouquet’s, and MGallery are expected to enter the market, along with other tourism projects that are set to further strengthen Greece’s position in the Mediterranean tourism market.
Rama’s full post
“Greece continues to successfully attract foreign investment, while in our country, according to critics, obstacles and internal tensions are being created that affect the economic climate and the ability to attract capital.
In this context, the question arises as to how the inflow of major capital investments can be restricted at a time when Albania is seeking to increase the presence of foreign investment after a long period of efforts to improve the business environment.
Globally, economies and tourism sectors are increasingly measured by their ability to attract foreign investment, while it remains debatable whether a restrictive approach would serve the country’s economic development interests.
In conclusion, this approach is interpreted by supporters of investment as a call for restraint that, in their view, does not serve Albania’s goals of development and economic integration.
Major international hospitality brands are investing in Mykonos, where new five-star hotels by Four Seasons, Fouquet’s, and MGallery are scheduled to open soon.
Despite geopolitical tensions and a challenging tourism season, Mykonos continues to remain one of the Mediterranean’s most important premium destinations.
Airlines are increasing the number of seats available on international flights for the 2026 season, with inbound capacity expected to rise by 7.1%.
New air routes from Rome, London, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai are also being added, further strengthening Mykonos’ international connectivity.
A new five-star resort, valued at more than €100 million and linked to Egyptian investor Naguib Sawiris, is expected to open its doors in May 2027,” Rama wrote.
