Every tourist entrepreneur is obliged to display the price list, changes in the
The numerous price complaints that often go viral on social networks by disgruntled or surprised vacationers seem to have served as a stimulus to place the obligation of transparency in a separate article of the draft tourism law.

Issued for consultation the day before by the Ministry of Tourism and Environment, the draft provides for a new article 64/1, which provides for additional obligations for tourism entrepreneurs in four points.

Point two of this article requires that every accommodation facility, tourist operator or travel agency and beach station clearly displays the price lists for the product and service it offers in Albanian and English.

Meanwhile, another point stipulates that every tourist entrepreneur displays in a place visible to the public the name of the business, as well as the complaint procedure, in Albanian and English.

The third point continues with the provision of service standards. "Each tourist entrepreneur, during the exercise of the activity, guarantees the provision of the standards of the service he offers, in accordance with the legal provisions in force".

Point four includes the need for an insurance contract for liability insurance to third parties, including insurance companies in this part.

“Çdo sipërmarrës turistik, gjatë ushtrimit të veprimtarisë duhet të ketë një kontratë të vlefshme sigurimi për sigurimin e përgjegjësisë ndaj palëve të treta si rezultat i mospërmbushjes së detyrimeve, përfshirë aftësinë paguese dhe falimentimin. Kontrata e Sigurimit lidhet me një shoqëri sigurimi, në përputhje me dispozitat e parashikuara nga legjislacioni në fuqi për sigurimet dhe risigurimet si dhe mbulon dëmet e parashikuara më sipër, si dhe ato të parashikuara në kuadrin ligjor për mbrojtjen e konsumatorit” thuhet në dokument.

Shqipëria po shënon gjatë këtij viti një rekord historik sa i takon numrit të vizitorëve duke regjistruar deri në fund të gushtit një shifër prej 7.1 milionë ndërkohë që në një takim me bizneset Kryeministri nënvizoi se në shtator janë edhe 1.1 milionë vizitorë të tjerë që kanë hyrë në vendin tonë.

Albania's exposure to a high number of visitors and returners to a viral social media destination by bloggers and influencers has brought out a large number of fans as well as people criss-crossing it for prices and service. On the other hand, the effect of tourism on consumption or on the economy has become part of the debate, underlining in some cases by different actors that the apparent increase in visitors has not given the expected impact on the entire economic chain of supporting industries.

All these situations that have been going on since the first months of the year, when the growing trend of tourism in the country was clearly visible, seem to have served to reflect the need for changes in the law on tourism, the draft of which is already under consultation./MONITOR
