In the premises of the former Hotel Dajti, today the Headquarters No. 2 of the Bank of Albania, the promotional event of tourist Albania and its digital guide TEA was held, which has now grown and transformed into a digital tourist guide that offers visitors events, cultural heritage destinations, tourist and utilitarian services, presenting tourist Albania in all its dimensions.
TEA 2.0 is not just an improvement, it is a revolution in the way we promote Albania as a tourist destination, said the General Director of AKT during her speech.
"If the Pyramid, a building symbol of innovation and technology, was chosen for the presentation of the birth of the TEA Application, the selection of the former Hotel Dajti, one of the emblematic buildings of Tirana, once an icon of tourism in Albania, for the important event of the expansion with new developments and features of TEA 2.0, symbolizes the commitment to strongly harmonize tradition and innovation, in promoting the development of Albania's tourism", emphasized the General Director of AKT.
She invited all businesses within the tourism industry and banking institutions present to download TEA and become part of this growing community as participation is essential in creating a vibrant and dynamic tourism ecosystem.
Prime Minister Edi Rama stated, among other things, that "The TEA application is a mirror to see what happens in reality. And in the reality of tourism development we have included a component that becomes more present every year, the daily cultural and artistic activity as a space, which offers tourists and visitors opportunities beyond the beach, the sun, the sand. This aspect also encourages cultural and artistic creativity to make Albania the "Europe of the Balkans" region.
Minister of Tourism, Mirela Kumbaro confirmed that "this is a moment of tourism promotion, a digital diplomacy for the presentation of Albania. Tourism is the economy of pleasures and TEA is an economic engine where the partnership between the public and private sectors symbolizes a win-win situation."
For Minister of Innovation Blendi Gonxhja, TEA is an application that brings to life the expression "all for one and one for all" - reorienting and serving to maximize the cultural agenda, programs and investments towards inclusive and sustainable tourism.
The Governor of the Bank of Albania, Gent Sejko, emphasized in his speech that tourism is an integral path for the country's development and TEA is an instrument that strengthens public and private partnerships with the aim of the country's economic development.
The event closed with an invitation to all attendees and visitors that to feel all the emotions, tastes, and sensations of tourist Albania and to be comfortable and safe on your trip, with just one click on your mobile phone, the best guide for you is - the TEA Application.
