Albanians are increasingly opting to spend their summer vacations abroad.

Only for July, there were some 496 thousand citizens who left of the country, an increase of 11% compared to the same month last year.

The rise coincides with a positive change in annual terms, with Albanian nationals’ outflow increasing by 4.9%.

Destinations that seem to have had an increasing interest for vacations are Italy and other countries accessible by air and sea, which are often offered in tourist packages such as Turkey, Egypt, etc…

Thanks to the addition of a range of low-cost airlines, the number of Albanians flying abroad has been around 127 thousand, a significant increase of 35.7% compared to last July.

Currently, the number of outbound journeys marks an annual increase for the period January to July at 27.6%, with about 150 thousand passengers more than a year ago.

There is another rise, namely in the number of citizens who have moved by ships or ferries by 34.2%. This figure reached 88 thousand passengers.

However, land routes remain the preferred way of traveling, mainly due to visits to neighboring countries such as Kosovo, Greece, Macedonia and Montenegro.

This category has shown a minimal increase of 2.2%.
