Last update: 8 hours agoCosts and Car Hire: A stronger lek is making Albania more expensive for euro-paying visitors, but car-hire platforms are offering more flexible terms: around half of cars checked near Tirana required no deposit. Tourism Taxes: The 2027 plan would raise VAT on hotel stays from 6% to 10%, while exempting rural tourism businesses. Business groups oppose the increase, warning it could add costs for the sector; the package still needs parliamentary approval. Cross-Border Travel: Work continues on a €310 million highway from Ioannina to the Kakavia crossing, expected to cut the drive to around 35–40 minutes when it opens in December 2029.
