The southeast on foreign tourists’ radar, Korça leads the preferences

The southeast of the country continues to remain one of the most sought-after destinations for foreign tourists, whose numbers have been increasing in recent years. According to data, around 85% of visitors who have chosen Korça and the surrounding areas are foreigners.

This growth is also linked to the fact that many tour operators have signed contracts with local and international agencies, ensuring a steady flow of visitors.

Tourists themselves say they discovered Korça through the internet and especially appreciate the traditional food, affordable prices, the hospitality of locals, and the opportunities offered by eco-tourism.

Some visitors say they are very impressed by the prices, the landscape, and the people.

“We are from the Czech Republic, we wanted to come here to spend a night. We will go to the mountains and there are many mountains here. Prices are very low.”

“Prices are good, the best thing is the people, very friendly. I like everything here.”

“We found Korça on the internet, a very beautiful place to explore. We are really enjoying it.”

“I come from Germany, Korça is very beautiful. The bazaar area is fantastic. Prices are low and I like the beer here. Very tasty.”

Tour operators confirm the high interest from foreign tourists. According to Klaus Pronjari, bookings started a year ago, reflecting a significant increase in demand. He emphasizes that Korça remains a destination with historical and cultural values, always offering something to discover.

“Bookings with foreign tourists started last year, there has been a high flow. Korça has a lot to offer, a historical place where people always have something to discover,” said Klaus Pronjari, tour operator.

In addition to Korça, there is also a high number of reservations in Pogradec and in tourist villages such as Tushemisht, Lin, Voskopojë, and Dardhë. Unlike previous years, this season there is also interest in other areas such as Erseka, the villages of Kolonjë, as well as tourist movement in Devoll, Maliq, and Pustec, expanding tourism across the entire southeast of the country.
