Tourist operator Besnik Vathi contradicted the statement of the Minister of Tourism, Mirela Kumbaro, that there is an increase in the number of visitors in Albania, while explaining why the figures are not real.
" If we refer to the 40% increase this year, I would like to clarify it. Do we have growth? 42% is much more optimistic than reality. It cannot be compared to a period of austerity. The second thing I want to note about the figures, we constantly hear the statistics from INSTAT. I would like to hear the figures not from INSTAT, but from the Ministry of Tourism with a monthly bulletin where the analyzed, complete figures would be stated and given, without the problems that the figures have.
We give foreigners entries at the border, but not every entry is a tourist because entries can be less than 24 hours and are not tourists, despite being foreign visitors. A tourist is one who stays for more than 24 hours. If these figures are cleared and given real. For me, if you do an accurate analysis, for me we can have somewhere between 3 and a half million and 4 million tourists and not 7 and a half million", said Vathi in "Now with Erla Mëhillin".
