Highlights
Albania has very favourable conditions for tourism, including rural and agrotourism
If we look at it as a whole, rural tourism is considered to be a sustainable, multi-functional activity based on local resources and related traditional agricultural, cultural and natural resources (OECD, 1994; EC, 2000; UNWTO, 2002)
As Albania has a variety of natural resources ranging from the Alps in the North to the Ionian Sea coast in the South of the country, it has a great potential to develop tourism further focusing on rural tourism
