The "dark" side of tourism, foreign vacationers who sleep in Tirana

Tourists are keeping rent prices high in Tirana. Especially in the area near the center of the capital, including Pazar e Bulevardi e Ri, Elbasan Street, "Air Albania" stadium or Ish Bllok, the monthly rent of an apartment varies from 500 to 1 thousand 200 euros.

" Today we are talking about some companies that rent apartments on Booking or AirBnb that have 40 apartments each. Especially in the areas near the center of Tirana, tourism has made rents very expensive ", said Erjon Alimema, real estate agent.

According to studies by the Bank of Albania, the prices and sales of apartments in the capital are softening, but the opposite is happening with rents.

There is a lot of demand from tourists for daily and short-term rentals, and this has also affected monthly rentals in their increase in price. We think that a ceiling has been created on rents", said Sonila Xhafa, real estate agent.

For residential apartments near areas such as "Dinamo Stadium", "Petro Nini Luarasi" high school or the Artificial Lake, the average rental price for 1+1 apartments ranges from 600 to 700 euros per month, from around 500 euros a year. seen.

" Rental prices cannot increase further as there is no longer any economic logic. Even the one who takes an apartment for long-term rent to work as AirBnb must make a profit ", Xhafa emphasized.

And if the flow of tourists continues at the same rate, with most of them "getting stuck" in Tirana, real estate agents warn of more headaches, especially for students.

" Students, when they come back without a vacation, will not find cheaper prices. Especially in the areas near the universities and faculties that they want, the rents are expensive ", said Alimema.

According to data from AirDNA, which analyzes statistics for daily rental accommodation structures from the Airbnb platform, the number of apartments and houses listed for daily rental in Tirana has reached around 50,000./ A2CNN
