Restaurants also had growth, but at lower rates than hotels. The restaurant sales index increased by 16% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
Albania was advertised as a cheap destination and for this fact, many foreign tourists from Western Europe chose our country for their annual vacation.
The increase in income for these activities seems to have been more influenced by the price increase.
