Na jaké novinky z Albánie se může těšit odborná i široká veřejnost během veletrhu?

Český trh je spolu s dalšími trhy zemí střední Evropy důležitým cílem pro albánský cestovní ruch. K účasti na veletrhu Holiday World 2015 jsme se rozhodli, abychom představili náš turistický potenciál českým návštěvníkům. Této příležitosti bychom chtěli využít především k prezentaci naší pohostinnosti a nedotčeného albánského pobřeží. Naše země má co nabídnout, a pokud jde přímo o tento turistický produkt, za pozornost stojí dlouhá sezona, rozumné ceny, množství ubytovacích zařízení, od kempů přes ubytování v soukromí až po velmi komfortní hotely.

V posledních letech přijíždí mnoho českých turistů také do albánských Alp, aby si zde užili outdoorové aktivity. Pro fanoušky aktivní turistiky jsme proto nedávno zpřístupnili šedesáti­kilo­metrovou trasu v oblasti údolí řeky Valbony. Albánská vláda navíc v současné době hodně investuje do silniční sítě v této oblasti, aby byla snadno přístupná pro všechny návštěvníky. Albánská národní agentura pro cestovní ruch je připravena během veletrhu Holiday World poskytnout potřebné informace všem zainteresovaným odborným návštěvníkům i veřejnosti. Spolu s albánskými turistickými společnostmi včetně soukromého sektoru plánuje každodenní setkání s partnery, kteří mají zájem rozvíjet spolupráci v oblasti cestovního ruchu.

Jak je vaše země zapojená do trvale udržitelného cestovního ruchu?

Pokud jde o udržitelný cestovní ruch v Albánii, naše organizace podepsala smlouvu s Ústavem pro ochranu přírody v Albánii (INCA). Společně pracujeme na podpoře udržitelného cestovního ruchu, a to zejména v chráněných oblastech. Albánie má celkem 13 národních parků a také řadu krajinných oblastí s vysokým potenciálem pro cestovní ruch, z nichž zvláštní pozornost zaslouží poloostrov Karaburun a ostrov Sazan.
