Albania

In a significant move for promoting Albania’s cultural, historical, and natural heritage, the Minister of Tourism and Environment, Mirela Kumbaro, and the Rector of the College of Europe, Federica Mogherini, have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation in Tirana.

This agreement outlines plans to engage students from the College of Europe in promoting Albania’s fantastic destinations. Under the memorandum, the Ministry of Tourism, in collaboration with the National Tourism Agency, will craft tourist itineraries and provide guidance through certified guides, aimed at showcasing Albania’s diverse offerings.

During the signing ceremony, attended by the Director General of the National Tourism Agency, Zana Çela, Minister Kumbaro expressed her delight that the College of Europe will host not only Albanian students but also students from across Europe. These students will not only receive education in diplomacy, political science, and oratory but will also have the opportunity to visit Albania. They will serve as new ambassadors for promoting Albanian tourism across the continent, drawing from their personal perspectives and experiences.

Rector Mogherini highlighted the memorandum’s significance, offering an intriguing opportunity for College of Europe students to intimately understand and experience Albanian culture, natural treasures, and historical heritage firsthand.
