(17 days ago)Prime Minister Edi Rama has continued postings on his social network, focusing this time on the message of the link between nature and tourism development, bringing as an example flamingos and their role in international tourist destinations.
In his post, Rama cites the case of Nassau in the Bahamas, where the popular resort “baha Mar” and flamingos, according to him, have become a symbol of tourist identity and an element that adds value to destination.
“In Nassau, Bahamas, one of the most famous and luxurious resorts of the Caribbean, Baha Mar, flamingos is no problem. On the contrary. They're the symbol of our destination. They're part of the country's identity, part of the tourist experience, part of the image that the Bahamas is presented as peaceful and welcoming to the world. Hundreds of thousands of tourists are photographed with flamingos every year. Resorts organize activities around them. Children learn about them. Visitors come from far enough to see. Nobody asks if the flamingos can co-exist with tourism anymore. The question is how to further develop tourism so that flamingos will always remain there. Because in the modern economy nature is not an enemy of development. It's part of development. Flagingos are not a problem for development. It's a privilege. It's a fortune that many tourist resorts would give a lot to get, to turn it into a well-being source of”, writes Rama.
He adds that Albania, according to him, should build a model where nature and tourist development co-exist and strengthen each other, particularly citing Vlora and Zrvencin as unique tourist potential.
“Our challenge is not to choose between flamingos and tourism. Our challenge is to build a model where flamingos, lagoons, forests, beaches and high-quality tourism strengthen each other. Because in the end, no one travels thousands of miles to see what he finds closest. People travel to see what is unique. And for Albania of many unique things, one of the most unique things is Vlora's flamingos and the rare beauty of Zvrneci”, the post follows.
Rama also stresses that some luxury international hotel brands are involved in tourist projects in the country, linking this to Albania's potential to become a high-level destination in world tourism.
In closing his post, the prime minister says Albania must move forward in the development of modern tourism:
