About ATHS

Our story

Thirty years in Albanian tourism

Albanian Travel and Hospitality Services was established in 1993, at a time of political upheaval in the nation’s history. The communist system had just collapsed and the terrain was ripe for unprecedented investment. It was in this particular milieu that ATHS was established, in the beginning as an outbound service, sending Albanians for the first time to countries such as Singapore and Malaysia.

The years of transition proved challenging for ATHS, especially because companies and suppliers were still getting their feet wet amidst the unpredictability of the new system. COVID proved rough, but ATHS was able to withstand the catastrophe imposed on the tourism sector at large. Despite the challenges, ATHS has overcome every one of them.

Recognising the new interest in Albanian tourism, ATHS is seizing an opportunity that is time-sensitive at its core. The recent influx of tourists to Albania mirrors the post-communist era, when the new had just arrived and one had to seize the opportunity. Our goal is to be established as a top inbound tour operator, as we have been in the past as a top outbound operator.
