Program in agritourism and EU assistance, Rama: We opened the way for investments

“We have done a lot of work, because we started this in the barren terrain, opening the way for investments in agro-tourism and with the conviction that Albania has an extraordinary potential. They are far from the market and do not have where they live, whether geographical, climatic or financial opportunities to develop intensive agriculture. Agrotourism is the answer by looking at the path of development from the opposite. Even though you live in such a position you find it difficult to get involved in the housing path you have advantages. You have the advantage that nature gives you. Instead of going to the market, the market comes to you.

The experiences created in this field that are already significant in the report since we started talking about the great benefit that agritourism gives to those who engage with it. It is quite easy for all words and premises to be verified by looking closely at the developments that have taken place. Agritourism can provide a lot of income. All the cases of agro-tourism development that we have today on the map of rural tourism speak for themselves. Undoubtedly a basis is needed, which is why the EU has agritourism as one of its funding elements. We will provide ¼ of this funding to those who submit their projects. Rural development simultaneously requires a run with time. If we look at the panorama of rural development we have 2 realities. On the one hand is the reality of those who succeed because they anticipate those obstacles that change of time brings with it. We have the panorama of those who do not succeed, but have obstacles and try to survive by not responding to the evolution of time.

There are also those who dump the produce into the river. They address the road blockade by asking the state what the state can do with the system we have. Financial resources available to agriculture today. We have funding sources available. Meanwhile our approach is clear. Agriculture and rural tourism should be entrepreneurial oriented and all those who engage in this field definitely have the opportunity to build a successful venture if they learn from those who are successful. We have a lot to do to guarantee an expansion of information channels for farmers, people who are in the rural sector to increase capacity by stimulating knowledge and stimulating close knowledge of success stories and massively stimulating information and technology introduction new in this field. “Examples of rural development are already significant to stimulate and encourage more people to invest in this sector.” said Rama.
