Sustainability policy

Since its creation in 2023, GoAlbania has progressively integrated sustainability into its travel operations through practical, locally rooted actions. Our approach is based on supporting local communities, reducing environmental impact, and promoting a more responsible form of tourism in Albania. Rather than relying on mass tourism models, we work with locally owned accommodations, guides, drivers, artisans, and small producers, helping ensure that the economic benefits of travel remain within the communities we visit.

A key result of this approach is the inclusion of community-based experiences in our itineraries. These include wine tasting at Alpeta in the Berat region, Albanian cooking workshops in Roshnik, and gliko production in Përmet. By integrating these activities into our offers, we help strengthen local livelihoods and promote traditional know-how in a sustainable and respectful way. Our contribution does not take the form of direct donations, but through long-term collaboration that supports the development of local economic sectors.

We also design our itineraries to optimise distances and limit fuel consumption, while encouraging walking tours and public transport whenever possible, especially in Tirana. Small groups and carefully planned routes help reduce pressure on destinations and avoid overtourism. In parallel, we are developing educational content to encourage more responsible travel practices among our clients. As part of our continuous improvement process, we are working towards the Travelife Partner award to further structure and strengthen our sustainability practices.
