Ksamil and Orikum will become part of a project financed by the World Bank for integrated urban development and tourism.

The government approved this Thursday the extension of an agreement signed with the World Bank in 2017.

“With this new addition which has been proposed, two very important areas will be added in terms of capacity and for the development of our tourism sector. The areas of ​​Ksamil and that of Orikum”, said Vasilika Vjero.

Both of these areas count more than 300 thousand vacationers during the tourist season.

From the agreement with the World Bank, Albania received a 63-million-euro loan for urban requalification, infrastructure improvement and interventions in tourist areas like Berat, Gjirokaster, Permet and Saranda.

The implementation of the project is carried out through the Albanian Development Fund.
