How much do European tourists spend in one night? The most "stingy" tourists come to Albania
A European spends an average of around 91 euros when traveling to another European country, according to data published by Eurostat and dating back to 2023.
For the eurozone average, this indicator increases to 93 euros. This indicator includes accommodation, food and drinks, local transport, museum tickets, recreational activities, etc.
The latest Eurostat data on average overnight spending by European tourists shows a significant increase in travel budgets in 2023, following a strong recovery in tourism across the continent. In 2022, spending was around 84 euros and in 2019 around 77 euros.
This indicator — the average spending per night on international trips — provides an important insight into the level of purchasing power of tourists visiting Albania.
Italians are the second largest group of tourists coming to Albania, after Kosovo, with about 11% of total arrivals, according to INSTAT data. Italians are labeled by market operators as the most “stingy”, who do not spend and shop for everything. Eurostat data also shows that Italians are more stingy than others in Europe. They spend an average of 78 euros per night on their trips, or 14% less than the European average. More or less at the same level are the French (79 euros), the Spanish (75 euros), and the Dutch (75 euros).
Italians continue to be loyal to Albania. In the first five months, almost 400,000 citizens from Italy entered the country (11.6% of the total), with an increase of 7.8% on an annual basis.
Rising prices are driving away stingy individual tourists
Although Italians have a reputation for being stingy, there is another category that comes to Albania that seems to choose the country for the cheap prices, which are so much advertised on social networks. Poles and Czechs are the ones who spend the least on their trips to Europe, with around 50 euros/night, almost half the European average, according to Eurostat data.
This is a group that has come to Albania through agencies, settling mainly in Golem, while those who come individually are in the south, according to tourist agencies. Poles have also been identified by operators in the country as tourists who do not spend much.
Turoperatorët kanë konfirmuar se agjencitë e huaja që sjellin polakët, kanë rritur kontratat me garanci në 2025 dhe se vera pritet të ketë më shumë vizitorë që preferojnë të vijnë të organizuar por vitin e shkuar, një pjesë e rëndësishme e tyre kanë ardhur në formë individuale. Shtrenjtimi i vazhdueshëm i paketave, nën argumentin e kostove dhe zhvlerësimit të euros, bëri të vështira negociatat vitin e shkuar mes agjencive dhe hoteleve. Në atë kohë turoperatorët thanë se Shqipëria duhet të vijojë të mbetet konkurruese në mënyrë që të jetë atraktive për këtë grup vizitorësh që vijnë me paketa “të gjitha të përfshira, apo “vakte dhe hotel (pa pije)”. Këtë vit polakët në formë individuale janë më të kufizuar dhe sipas turoperatorëve kjo lidhet me kosto më të larta të pushimeve ndërkohë që një pjesë duket se po preferojnë desntinacione më afër tyre, ku Kroacia është një ndër to duke shënuar për janar-maj një rritje me 8 për qind të këtij grupi në këtë shtet.
Të dhënat e INSTAT treguan se hyrjet e shtetasve polakë në 5 mujorin e parë të këtij viti ranë me 8.6% në raport me janar-maj 2024, teka gjithsej hynë 42 mijë shtetas, ose 1.4% e totalit.
Turistët dorështrënguar kryesojnë renditjen e turistëve në Shqipëri. Maqedonia e Veriut është e treta për hyrjet në vend për 5 mujorin, me 308 mijë shtetas (9%) e totalit. Të dhënat e Eurostat, që i përkasin vitit 2021 tregojnë se shpenzimi mesatar i tyre ishte 37 euro në natë.
Shtetasit grekë janë në vend të katërt me 287 mijë hyrje (8.3% e totalit), një pjesë e të cilëve mund të jenë shqiptarë me pasaportë greke. Sipas Eurostat, grekët janë në fund të listës së shpenzuesve, duke qenë më poshtë se polakët e çekët, me 46 euro/natë.
Për Shqipërinë të dhënat e fundit janë të vitit 2020. Në atë vit, një shqiptar që udhëtonte në Europë shpenzonte mesatarisht 31.6 euro/natë, e fundit në Europë.
Të mbajmë mirë gjermanët
Turistët më të mirë për momentin në vend rezultojnë se janë gjermanët. Sipas Eurostat, ata shpenzojnë mesatarisht 117 euro në natë kur udhëtojnë nëpër Europë. Ky grup ka shënuar një rritje të fortë të hyrjeve në 5 mujorin e parë të vitit në vend, me 124 mijë hyrje, me rritje prej 29%. Për herë të parë gjermanët janë grupi i pestë më i madh i turistëve në vend, me 3.5% të hyrjeve në total.
Operatorët turistikë thonë se fillimisht gjermanët vitin kryesisht me ture kulturore, ndërsa tani po vijnë individualisht dhe për pushime verore, të nxitur dhe nga shitimi i linjave direkte me qytetet gjermane.
Si u ikën turistët që shpenzojnë më shumë
Austriakët janë turistët që shpenzojnë më shumë kur udhëtojnë në Europë, sipas Eurostat, me 155 euro në natë. Në Shqipëri ata zinin 0.6% të hyrjeve totale për 5 mujorin e parë 2025.
Në vend të dytë janë maltezët (138 euro), të ndjekur nga Islanda (131 euro).
The list of the biggest spenders also includes the Nordic countries, led by Norway, with 127 euros/night, and Sweden with 108 euros, reflecting high purchasing power and the tendency for higher quality travel (better accommodation, more expensive services, restaurants, etc.). The Nordics came to Albania for two consecutive years with guarantee contracts, but at the end of 2022 they withdrew as they sought quality in services.
"As long as they don't receive service, they will normally have a reaction. From what we see, there is a decline in reviews (impressions) that has come from the lack of service or the decline in its quality in accommodation structures. Another element, I think, is infrastructure. For several years, we have been lying to them about traffic, promising them solutions as promised by the institutions. This is not being resolved," the head of the Tourist Union, Rrahman Kasa, previously claimed.
General trends show that countries with developed services, high-standard accommodation and quality infrastructure attract a higher budget profile of tourists. Meanwhile, the cheapest countries are mainly seasonal tourism destinations with tourists who are not willing to pay dearly for the services they receive./ Monitor
