The story behind!
All started from the two well educated young guys who were very enthusiastic about their country and its tourism potential. Kliton Gerxhani was graduated in International Tourism Management and Consultancy at NHTV- Breda University in Netherlands and Armand Ferra in Business Administration and Management in Oxford Brookes University UK.As other people who studied abroad and wanted to invest their knowledge in their country, they founded in 2005 the incoming company named Albania Holidays. The company started with online tourism through a website for hotels, which is today the most popular website for booking hotels in Albania always top 1 in Google, www.albania-hotel.com. The website itself was an innovation as it brought Albanian hotels for the first time online, with description and prices. From years, hotels are bookable with credit card from this website and other websites added lately such as www.balkan-hotel.com and www.tirana-hotel.com
Albania Holidays as an incoming agency as played a great role in
promoting Albania abroad, by publishing rich information on tourism in Albania,
not only in English but also in German,
Italian, French and even Russian language. One of the leading UK newspapers Mirror.co.uk. on 22 April
2006 in an article titled “Albania Mania “ would
write: Albania doesn't have its own tourist board in the UK, but you should
visit albania-holidays.com, a dynamic little local company which offers
three-night hotel stays in Tirana from and week-long tours around the country,
including accommodation."
Albania Holidays DMC is today a Destination Management Company the
only representative for Albania at World of DMC, member of Albanian Tourism
Association and other important tourism bodies. It organizes successful Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and
Events for some international companies, and brands.
The company operates tours around Albania and Balkans through
partnering with some well-known international tourism companies, mainly from
UK, USA but also other countries of Europe. Through its rich and updated
websites, the company serves to individuals to book hotels and tours online.
Due to its hard work and professionalism in offering top quality
service, Albania Holidays has grown significantly in 10 years. It has opened a
branch in Pristina Kosovo, named Kosovo Holidays, and employs 10 well educated
people full time, while working with around 30 or more professional guides on tour
bases.
Albania Holidays has
contributed actively in lobbing for tourism and influencing government policies
to support the development of the sector. All these make it a very reputable
company in Albania and broader.
