Minister Haxhinasto praised the contract and the project as a positive indicator for the development of tourism, as well as an opportunity to boost employment for the residents of the area. He said:
“Today we signed a concession contract for a yacht port in the northern section of the port of Durres. The project is important, because in addition to the investment that totals 1.5 billion lek, it will also bring the construction of new facilities and infrastructure that will serve the port. It is an important port, and together with others that are being built in Albania, it will provide a range of important services.
This project comes on the heels of another in Kavaja, an important investment of about 45 million dollars, and a Port in Shengjin at about 5 million dollars. Mr. Haxhinasto made the following statement: “These are positive signals for our tourism industry. I wish the company success in finishing this port on time, and in accordance to the standards. This port is an opportunity for employment in the city of Durres.”.
