TIRANA, July 2 – Saranda has entered the summer season with a higher number of visitors than during the same period last year, according to local tourism businesses. Operators said tourist arrivals have increased steadily from month to month, boosting activity across the hospitality and services sectors.
Meanwhile, businesses said foreign visitors show strong interest in traditional Albanian food. Tourism manager Donald Aliko said local dishes rank among tourists’ top choices, while fresh fish remains the most popular option because of Saranda’s coastal location. He added that visitor arrivals started earlier this year and described the season so far as very positive.
To meet higher demand, businesses have improved their services and expanded their workforce. Many employers have also hired foreign workers, mainly from Asian countries and India, to address labour shortages during the peak summer season. Tourism operators expect visitor numbers to continue rising throughout the summer, strengthening Saranda’s position as one of southern Albania’s leading tourist destinations.
