THE TALE OF THE EAGLE

COMPARISON WITH THE REGION

Despite the chaotic first impression, you can organise your event in Tirana without any problems and to the satisfaction of your congress participants. Albanians are in fact extremely proud, friendly, calm, excellent hosts, which outweighs any weaknesses in infrastructure. They like to help, are very sociable and stick to their words and promises, expecting the same in return. Tirana has enormous meetings potential, which could be improved with investment in hotel infrastructure. Due to their beautiful nature, there are also untapped opportunities for incentive programmes, today marketed by only a few DMCs. For a faster breakthrough, they will have to connect and establish a congress bureau.
