Statement of Purpose: My purpose is to teach you the basic properties of Albania and also the types of tourism that can be explored there.
Divisions and Subdivisions:
Albania has a great potential for tourism. There are many choices for every age.

Today there are 3 millions of people living in Albania. a. The only official language is Albanian, which is a special language, not related to the german, slavic or latin languages. As for the religion, 58% are Muslims, 10% Catholics, 8% Orthodox, 3% Atheists and the remaining belong either to any other religion or refused to declare it. Religion tolerance is one of the major cultural values.
3.Albania is influenced by western and eastern cultures, so the cultural heritage tourism is an important option.
In addition to that, there are mountains, islands, seas, rivers and lakes.
Almost three quarters of the area is covered by mountains. The rest is a field, mainly in the western part of the country.
The albanian coast has a length of almost 300 miles.
