Albania’s Prime Minister, Edi Rama, addressed recent opposition to a major tourism initiative in Vlorë, characterizing the resistance as a “mobilization.” Rama stated that the current endeavor represents a significant effort for Albania, aiming to establish itself as a leading global tourism destination. He highlighted the scale of the development, noting that the project involves a substantial investment of 4 billion euros from American and Qatari partners. According to Rama, opposition to the venture has intensified as the official unveiling date nears.
Furthermore, he addressed reports suggesting that Greek media outlets and high-follower pages in Greece have supported the protesters. In connection with a recent protest in Zvërnec, Rama also commented on instances where young individuals using masks disseminated hate speech on social media, including reports of individuals soliciting information on private residences for sums like 5,000 euros. In his statement, Rama detailed the anticipated advantages stemming from the development.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the proposed project is set to significantly boost Albania’s tourism sector. This large-scale investment is intended to revitalize the region and enhance Albania’s international profile within the tourism market.
