The Industry of Tourism in Developing Countries: The Case of Albania

Discussion

According to the gender of the tourists that visited Albania during 2018, it resulted that men were 10% more than women, a figure that points to a travelling pattern that women travel less on their own (Figure 1). For example, in our sample population only one woman was travelling alone, while the men traveling alone were 7. On the other hand, we may observe that men mostly travel with families compared to women who prefer mostly to travel with friends and companions.
