ABOUT US
Embark on a journey with us to reshape Albanian agritourism through the power of digital payments from June 2024 to March 2025. Get ready to delve deep into the world of digital payments through our engaging info sessions. Led by industry experts and seasoned professionals, these sessions will demystify the process, providing practical insights and hands-on guidance. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a budding innovator, there’s something for everyone to learn and explore. Beyond transactions, we aim to create unforgettable experiences for both merchants and visitors alike. Our initiative goes beyond mere payments; it’s about fostering connections, creating lasting memories, and building bridges between cultures. Every interaction, whether through info sessions, workshops, or 12+ field visits in more than 319 entities in Albania, is designed to enrich and inspire.
As part of our initiative, we’re launching exciting challenges to recognize and reward excellence in digital payment adoption. Entities can showcase their achievements and innovative strategies, with special categories including “Best Performance on Digital Payment”, “Best Company Led by a Woman”, and “Best Company Led by a Youth”. These challenges provide a platform for participants to highlight their successes and inspire others in the industry.
Come, be a part of this transformative movement. Together, let’s write the next chapter in the story of Albanian agritourism—one filled with innovation, inspiration, and endless possibilities.

The Albanian Agritourism Association unites over 90 entities and individuals to be the first source of information, not only economic but versatile and comprehensive, with a new vision for the emancipation of rural society. The association, founded in March of 2022, was born as an advocate for the preservation of the infinite, economic, social, and environmental values that this sector, still not properly oriented to what belongs to it, keeps ‘hidden’. Agritourism is anyone who wants to be for what they think they know how to do best. This activity, in the space outside the administrative centers, will take care with the help of everyone not to be left to spontaneity and chaotic anarchy, which can damage the future, but to orientate and think in the most contemporary vector.
The Ministry of Tourism and Environment is a ministry of the Republic of Albania. Its function is for environmental regulation, sustainable use of natural resources, promotion of renewable resources, protection of nature and biodiversity, development and sustainable management of forestry and pastures, and quality monitoring of water resources.
Digitalization Initiatives
Informing and Assisting Agritourism Entities: Our dedicated team of professionals will conduct comprehensive field visits across 12 counties from June to October 2024. Through personalized consultations and support, we will empower agritourism entities to embrace digital payment solutions, guiding them through the application process and providing essential documentation assistance.
Celebrating Excellence and Innovation: In recognition of outstanding achievements, we are thrilled to announce the launch of a prestigious awards challenge. Entities demonstrating excellence in digital payment adoption, women-led initiatives, and youth-driven entrepreneurship will have the opportunity to vie for coveted titles and recognition.
Virtual Tours for a Real Experience: Using state-of-the-art 360-degree cameras and drone technology, visitors can explore picturesque farms and rural landscapes from the comfort of their homes, fostering a deeper connection to the land and its heritage.
Engagement and Support: Throughout the project duration, our dynamic team of young tourism ambassadors will serve as invaluable liaisons, providing continuous support and guidance to agritourism entities. Together with our esteemed stakeholders, we are committed to promoting and championing the success of this transformative initiative.
