Introduction of the Initiative
The “Mountain Package” is a recent initiative launched by the Albanian government to encourage Albanian emigrants to return and invest in their homeland. This program aims to transform emigrants into investors by focusing on Albania’s largely untapped mountainous landscapes. With tourism gaining prominence in Albania, this initiative is positioned as a pivotal strategy to drive growth and development in the coming years.
What Is the Mountain Package?
Starting in 2025, the Albanian government will offer an array of fiscal incentives, financial support, and other benefits to those interested in investing in rural tourism. Specifically, the program targets emigrants and residents looking to convert rural homes into guesthouses, accommodation facilities, or agrotourism projects. Interested individuals are encouraged to submit project proposals to their local municipalities, and the government has committed to releasing more information on funding and co-financing options soon.
This initiative presents significant benefits:
- For Emigrants: It provides an opportunity to reinvest in Albania and contribute to its economic development.
- For Albania: The program aims to create jobs, particularly in rural areas, and to further bolster the tourism industry, which has experienced considerable growth recently.
