Draft law for tourism approved

In the last parliamentary session before the summer holiday, the Albanian Parliament passed the law on tourism with 79 votes in favor and 13 against. 

The majority says that the new law will end the chaotic constructions with family businesses, and will bring our neighbors closer with tourist zones and resorts, but that didn’t convince the opposition, who said that the law doesn’t have the necessary requirements to protect the coastline from constructions to close to the sea.

Despite the guarantees given by Minister Ahmetaj, especially for ending the property title issues that have always been present in the past 22 years, the former Albanian Prime Minister, Sali Berisha, said that the law serves to close criminal interests of the Prime Minister, Edi Rama.
