Vlora Marina, një port turistik i munguar për qytetin

You can enjoy the city of Vlora both during the summer, but also during the winter season.
Vlora Marina, the new tourism port is expected to rank it in the list of tourist cities along the
year. The most challenging venture in itself, promises a large modern marine, where tourist
vessels, from yachts and megayachts , will be berthed. According to Ervin Bacaj, who
manages this project, the Marine will have international standards, but the real innovation will
be the diverse services that will be offered in the premises regardless of the seasons. In Vlora
Marina, there will also be spaces for cultural and artistic activities in every period, and its
functionality will be intertwined with the development of the area.

"Citizens will have the opportunity to stop at the Marine, and furthermore, go with a specific
goal and become part of the events that are organized there. Services such as bars and
restaurants, but also all others, will be available throughout the year to anyone who frequents
the south coast" – says the Project Manager.

According to Ervin Bacaj, this tourism port will be at the same level as the marines in
Europe’s different countries and those in the neighboring countries. Everything is feasible if
we consider that the total value of the investment will be ALL 2.8 billion, spread over three to
four years, while the income it will bring to the city's economy when it starts operating will be
considerable.

Vlora Marina, jo vetëm një marinë moderne por edhe vende të reja pune

About 20 million Euros of income per year are expected to be added to Vlora economy, thanks to the marine that this city will soon have. Vlora Marina is the project that will replace the industrial port and fundamentally change this reality.

The designers have stipulated a capacity of about 450 berths while the country’s Prime Minister has promised a modern marine which will have world class standards. Yachts and mega-yachts, ships and cruises will be berthed there in accordance with world practices, besides the variety of support services, such as hotel, bar and restaurant, gastronomy, gym and of course the beach, which will be offered to
conclude the experience of tourists who will choose Vlora for vacation. Also, all this investment will interpret into increased employment and income for the area. Currently, the industrial port of Vlora is in a poor condition, with backward infrastructure and minimal people and goods volume traffic. Its existing condition has turned into an obstacle for the use of the full tourism potential of our coast. While with the latest investment, Vlora Marina will soon become the gateway to
our country for the most popular tourist itineraries, placing Albania on the map of elite tourism.

Turizmi në Vlorë mes sfidash dhe nevoja e një Marine më standarde ndërkombëtare

As in many countries around the world, tourism in Albania is considered as an important source
of income and employment generation. In our country, tourism is undergoing a stabilized and
qualitative progress. This also given the fact that Albania is strategically positioned to meet the market's demands, focusing on tourism in 365 days of the year. One of the cities that empowers it with all the potential it carries is the coastal city of Vlora, which for years has become an in-
vogue destination thanks to its historical and cultural attractions. The city offers a large number of services, hotels and restaurants with the object of attracting as many local and foreign tourists as possible. However, one of the challenges of the development of the tourism sector in Albania and especially in Vlora, is the lack of a marine that meets the international parameters to welcome
more and more foreign tourists who choose to visit our country with their yachts. The construction of a marine in Vlora would solve this impasse and bring a new boost to tourism. As reported by the head of the Vlora Marina project, Ervin Bacaj, this is a very important step not only for Vlora but also for the country. Bacaj explains that a new marine would develop the area, thanks to the endless possibilities of balancing the tourist offer and services, improving the standard of living, increasing employment in the tourism sector, increasing income from tourist services and mitigating the poverty in these areas. Building a marine with international parameters has a chain-effect impact on a greater level. Taking into account the best examples throughout the continent, a modern yacht port will be the gateway of our country for the most popular tourist itineraries. Likewise, as regards the project leader, this investment requires responsibility and a will to build on every parameter as well as to give the country another asset that will contribute to the tourism sector, currently the most important in our country.
