Prime Minister Edi Rama reacted again this Wednesday on Facebook, emphasizing the need to remain open to foreign investment while comparing economic developments in Greece with the situation in Albania. He stated that the neighboring country continues to successfully attract foreign investment and expand its tourism sector, while Albania, according to him, is being held back by internal debates that risk slowing its pace of development.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Rama wrote that Albania should not \u201cclose its doors to major capital investments,\u201d describing this as an important moment for the economy and the future of tourism, at a time when foreign investment is, according to him, increasing in the country.<\/p>\n

The post comes amid recent protests in the capital, where citizens and activists have taken to the streets, with demonstrations also accompanied by calls for the government’s resignation.<\/p>\n

The article shared by the Prime Minister also highlights new investments on the island of Mykonos, where international hospitality brands such as Four Seasons, Fouquet\u2019s, and MGallery are expected to enter the market, along with other tourism projects that are set to further strengthen Greece\u2019s position in the Mediterranean tourism market.<\/p>\n

Rama\u2019s full post<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGreece continues to successfully attract foreign investment, while in our country, according to critics, obstacles and internal tensions are being created that affect the economic climate and the ability to attract capital.<\/p>\n

In this context, the question arises as to how the inflow of major capital investments can be restricted at a time when Albania is seeking to increase the presence of foreign investment after a long period of efforts to improve the business environment.<\/p>\n

Globally, economies and tourism sectors are increasingly measured by their ability to attract foreign investment, while it remains debatable whether a restrictive approach would serve the country’s economic development interests.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, this approach is interpreted by supporters of investment as a call for restraint that, in their view, does not serve Albania\u2019s goals of development and economic integration.<\/p>\n

Major international hospitality brands are investing in Mykonos, where new five-star hotels by Four Seasons, Fouquet\u2019s, and MGallery are scheduled to open soon.<\/p>\n

Despite geopolitical tensions and a challenging tourism season, Mykonos continues to remain one of the Mediterranean\u2019s most important premium destinations.<\/p>\n

Airlines are increasing the number of seats available on international flights for the 2026 season, with inbound capacity expected to rise by 7.1%.<\/p>\n

New air routes from Rome, London, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai are also being added, further strengthening Mykonos\u2019 international connectivity.<\/p>\n

A new five-star resort, valued at more than \u20ac100 million and linked to Egyptian investor Naguib Sawiris, is expected to open its doors in May 2027,\u201d Rama wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
