Port of Vlora for rent 1 euro, Rama: Practice also done by other countries

Port of Vlora for rent 1 euro, Rama: Practice also done by other countries

The government transferred 57,000 square meters of land in the Bay of Vlora to businessmen Geront Çela and Saimir Mane against a symbolic price, with no apparent benefit to the public or the state.

In a conference with the media, Rama justified himself that this is a practice known from other countries as well.

He also emphasized that there are two ways to do this, either to be built by the state itself or to be done by foreign companies. 

RamaIn Vlora we will build one of the 4 tourist ports of Albania. This is a tremendous impact and there is no reason in the world to question such investments that have a strategic importance for our country. When questions are asked about how to stimulate strategic investments in tourism, it is good to consider what other countries are doing.

Very important investors who approach us seek financial support from the government to invest in tourism.

We don't directly give financial support, but the fact that they ask for it means that it happens in many other countries. The account is very simple, what you give and what you get.

What you get in tourism is not directly from an investment there, but it is what you get from what that investment brings. If you look at how tourism has developed in Turkey, you will be surprised how much money the state has given from the budget to those who have built hotels in the first stages. If you look at how tourism has developed in Montenegro.

Instruments were used, which would be set on fire here. So there is nothing to be surprised and nothing to raise concerns if the calculation is made of what they bring to the economy of a country, e.g. yachts. 

There are two ways, either the state will build it, or you will ask private enterprise companies. As far as we know, the whole Mediterranean does it like we do, we didn't invent it. I am telling you that in many large investments, the state provides financing. Not only does he not ask for anything else, he gives the land, removes taxes, etc. But it gives direct funding.
