Mark Lawther brings over 25 years of travel industry experience and has been creating unforgettable UK-based Albania holidays for travelers from the UK. Having worked with leading global tour operators and prestigious airlines like United and Emirates, Mark combines international expertise with his deep knowledge of Albania. Since relocating to Cornwall in 2012, he has continued to craft personalized Albania holiday packages that showcase the country’s authentic culture, stunning landscapes, and culinary delights. His four sons and his wife often joke that Albania is like a second home to him. But for Mark, it truly is.
Mark first set foot in Albania in 1993 and was immediately captivated by its rugged landscapes, rich history, and warm people. His connection to the country grew so deep that he eventually made it his home for several years. Fluent in the language and well-versed in the culture, Mark is the perfect person to help you experience Albania through an insider’s lens. Whether it’s finding the best local guide, selecting the right hotel, or designing a personalized itinerary, Mark’s passion ensures that your holiday will be extraordinary.
At Experience Albania, we work with a network of trusted local suppliers across Albania—from expert guides to boutique hotels—ensuring every aspect of your trip is handled with care. All our UK-based Albania holidays are professionally managed by specialists who know the country inside out.
We are also an appointed operator of British Airways, adding another layer of quality and reliability to our services. When you book with us, your travel plans are handled by passionate professionals with decades of experience, guaranteeing a seamless and unforgettable Albania holiday experience.
At Experience Albania, your peace of mind is our top priority. All our Albania holiday packages are fully ATOL-protected (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing – member number 12020) and covered by Protected Trust Services (PTS – member number 5627), ensuring complete financial security. Booking with us means your investment is safe, and your holiday is professionally managed from start to finish.
The ATOL scheme, established in 1973, safeguards travelers if a travel company ceases trading, providing refunds and repatriation if necessary. As a registered ATOL holder and PTS member, your flights, hotels, and complete holiday packages are fully protected through secure trust accounts.

Outside of creating exceptional holidays, Mark is active in his local community in Cornwall. From supporting his sons at rugby clubs to running the London Marathon for charity, his dedication to helping others extends beyond travel.
