Meanwhile, the reality is completely different, they come and stay in Albania for a day, fill their yachts and leave. The country does not benefit from them in any other way.
Prime Minister Edi Rama, during a meeting in Vlora with tourism operators, said that we need more marinas as well as the opening of more parking spaces in the country.
Rama was also careful to justify the fact that luxury yachts receive tax-free oil, saying that it brings an increase in the presence of tourists.
"We are supporting as much as we can. What does it mean that oil for yachts is tax-free, oil for cars is taxed? Without question at all. Because from those yachts our economy benefits, while from those cars, our environment is polluted and of course these are two things that cannot be compared. We need more marinas," said Rama.

Rama in Vlora: You need a strategy to guarantee the longevity of these investments you are making. Vlora has the potential to become a place like those cities in Portugal, Spain, Turkey, where many foreigners come to live.

We are investing, the marina here in Vlora is continuing to develop. We must be attentive to cleaning, it is in your interest. We have made a good plan for the beaches, we need more parking lots throughout Albania. It opened my eyes not only to the space for the palace, but also to the parking lot.
