Prime Minister Edi Rama has released a video message from Dhermiu , where he is spending his summer holidays, to publish the figures of arrivals in Albania and to answer all the critics who say that there are no tourists in our country .
The head of the government says that almost 1 million and 200 thousand passengers entered from Rinas airport, over 350 thousand more than last year.
In fact, according to him, another record was broken this July, that of arrivals in a single day, 44 thousand passengers.
As for the hints that Kosovo Albanians have also left the country, Rama again brought out the figures, saying that this is a malicious theory.
" Last night I received the data of the entrances to Albania from the Mother Teresa airport and from the entrances to Morina. Almost 1 million and 200 thousand passengers have entered from the airport, over 350 thousand more than last year. Even this July another record was broken, that of entries in a single day, 44 thousand. The airport has managed to operate up to 252 flights in a 24-hour cycle, a staggering and unimaginable volume until a few years ago.
Even those hairy mouths that don't rest can't say anything about the airport numbers, Albania is empty of both Albanians and tourists.
Tirana Airport is completing the year at the top of the European classification for relative growth compared to previous years. Tirana has cleared the Belgrade airport, which was the first in the region, into second place.
Even the numbers of entrances to Morina, shown by the electronic highway toll register where each entry can be read, show that during this year 175 thousand cars entered more than last year, while in July, 3 thousand more than last year.
So even that malicious theory spread this season that Kosovo Albanians have abandoned Albania is a zero plus tassel", said Rama.
The Prime Minister considered all critics who think that there are no tourists in Albania as an evil eye. "Just like those garlics that protect the country from the evil eye ", said Rama, who emphasized that they are keeping notes from this season, in order to learn lessons.
