Megjithe opinionet pozitive qe ky "gjeolog" amerikan
jep per Shqiperine, nje gje nuk mund ta kuptoj: Cfare
kerkon ne Shqiperi, ne "fshatrat qe nuk ekzistojne ne
harta", ky "gjeolog" ne "udhetim pune"?
C'jane keto fshatra qe s'jane neper harta dhe pse
pikerisht ky person duhet te shkonte atje?  Nje
udhetim i tille nuk me le shume pershtypje pozitive,
duke ditur edhe histori te disa amerikane te cilet
jetonin ne fshatrat e Lezhes neper shtepite e
fshatareve duke pyetur, vizatur dhe studiuar cdo
pasuri natyrore dhe pike strategjike?

Gjeologu te pakten shprehet qe vizitova disa qytete te bukura ,frekuentova 
disa restorante dhe bare normal,gjithashtu vend i bukur ,popull miqesor 
etj.Ai thekson edhe prapambetjen qe ekziston ne disa fusha si ne 
infrastrukture etj.Nuk eshte turp qe kemi infrastrukture te dobet etj.Ajo qe 
me ka revoltuar kohet e fundit jane opinionet e disa bastardeve te huaj 
(ndoshta nuk kane qene as ne Shqiperi ndonjehere) te cilet mashtrojne 
opinionin nderkombetar.
Nje fare mbeturine Jonathan Miller shkruante para pak kohesh ne nje gazete 
Angleze ' Sunday Times'  "Mizerja Shqiperi" .Kushedi sa genjente ne ate 
shkrim,paraqiste Shqiperine si sketerre .Nje tjeter bastard ja harrova emrin 
shkruante ne Shqiperi do te gjesh si rruge vetem " via Egnantia" pra nje 
rruge te krijuar para dymije vjeteve prej Romakeve.Jemi te ndergjegjshem qe 
ne Shqiperi rruget nuk jane si ne perendim (kohet e fundit po ndertohen disa 
akse rrugore te rendesishme)po nje poshterim i tille qe ne Shqiperi ekziston 
nje rruge e krijuar para dy mije vjeteve eshte i papranueshem dhe fyerje per 
popullin Shqiptar.Krijimi i nje imazhi te tille prej disa bastardeve te huaj 
eshte shume i demshem per vendin.Para 10 ditesh takova nje grup shokesh te 
huaj qe kishin kryer nje vizite 1ditore ne Sarande ,Butrint dhe Borsh.Ata do 
kalonin nje jave pushime ne Korfuz dhe kishin menduar te benin nje 
xhiro-njeditore ne Shqiperi .Nje Antropolog profesor ne nje Univeristet te 
Amsterdamit dhe part-time profesor ne disa universitetet Evropeane me tregoj 
rreth asaj jave qe po kalonin pushimet ne Korfuz per te rezervuar edhe nje 
udhetim nje ditor ne Shqiperi .Gjashte Travel Agents e kishin refuzuar per 
te udhetuar ne Shqiperi.Skenari i njohur :teper rrezike,s'ka 
restorante,mesjete dhe perralla te tilla.Fatmiresisht nje travel axhensi u 
kishte rregulluar udhetimin .Korfuz -Sarande  25minuta me traget shume te 
shpejte .Atje i kishin pritur dy autobuza te Alb-turizmit (kishte pasur 
shume turista Angleze dhe Nordike).E pyeta si tu duke aventura ne 
Shqiperi.'Cfare aventure me tha,krejt normale ,Butrinti ishte shume i bukur 
,keshtjella Veneciane,amfiteatri dhe Porta qe ka ndertuar Ali-Pashe 
-Tepelena i kishin lene pershtypje.Ne internet ne Amsterdam lexova theksoj 
Antropologu qe Butrinti ishte nder 100 monumentet me te rrezikuara ne 
bote.Por per mendimin tim une nuk pashe asnje rrezike dhe qyteti antike 
ishte ne gjendje shume te mire.Tek Borshi kishin kaluar ne dreke nje piknike 
teper te rralle tek nje burim-ujevare.Mbremjen e kishin frekuentuar ne nje 
restorant luksoz ne Sarande.Pershtypje i kishte bere djegja e 
Hotel-Butrintit megjithse lideri i udhetimit kishte theksuar qe shpreson qe 
Hotel-Butrinti te riparohet vitin tjeter.Plazhet e Sarandes ishin plote 
.Rruga Sarande-Butrint ishte e lodhshme (me kujtoj Spanjen dhe Greqine  e 
viteve 70 ).Antropologu shprehej qe gjithe ajo propagande dizinformuese ne 
Korfuz behet me qellim qe Turistat e huaj mos ta frekuentojne Shqiperine por 
parate ti shpenzojne ne Korfuz.Infrastruktura e dobet nuk lejon masa-turizem 
u shpreh ai por turista ne grupe ,turizmi kulturor dhe ai tranzit mund te 
zhvillohen shume shpejt shprehej antropologu.

Personalisht mendoj qe ne 200miljone turista qe vizitojne cdo vite gjithe 
shtetet e Mesdheut gjenden 1 apo 2miljone ne vite qe mund te vizitojne 
Shqiperine.Por artificialisht imazhi i keq qe eshte krijuar jashte shtetit 
pengon turistat per te frekuentuar Shqiperine.Pritet te dalin disa Guida te 
reja nga Shqiperia per tregun Evropean te turizmit por ministrija e Turizmit 
eshte teper e ngathet.Bregdeti jugor Shqiptar eshte stabil dhe kriminaliteti 
atje eshte shume i ulet ne krahasim me qytet e medha Shqiptare.Mungon 
iniciativa por ka dhe shenja pozitive  ne Gjermani,Belgjike,Hollande ,Austri 
dhe vendet Skandinave disa Tour-operators shume shpejt do te ofrojne 
grup-travel ne Shqiperi.

Of All the Great Archaeological Sites of The Mediterranean, Butrint Is the 
Least Spoilt


BUTRINT - Of all the great archaeological sites of the Mediterranean, 
Butrint must surely be the least spoilt. Set amid groves of eucalyptus trees 
by the shores of a deserted salt-water lake, it combines around one 
castle-topped hill the spectacular remains of nearly 3,000 years of 
successive civilisations: towering Illyrian walls, ancient Greek 
amphitheatres and temples, Roman bath houses and mosaics, Byzantine 
basilicas and baptistries, Venetian towers and French and Ottoman 
fortifications.

But for all these glories, Butrint attracted only 262 foreign visitors last 
year. No souvenir shops, ice cream vans, tourist coaches or car parks 
disturb the tranquillity of a city once compared by Virgil to Troy and only 
abandoned in the 19th century. Instead crickets, lizards and harmless snakes 
have the run of its well-kept ruins.

The explanation for this startling lack of interest is that Butrint is in 
Albania. Europe’s poorest country, Albania is still reeling from the 
economic and social breakdown that followed the collapse of communism, the 
grotesque pyramid investment scheme crisis, mass emigration and the Kosovo 
war.

The Foreign Office continues to issue blood-curdling warnings about travel 
to Albania. But the external neglect of Butrint cannot last. The site could 
hardly be more accessible, lying little more than a couple of miles across 
the sea from Corfu, one of Fortress Europe’s more successful magnets of 
industrial tourism.

Fifteen years ago, the Albanian coast opposite Corfu bristled with pill 
boxes, built by the Stalinophile Enver Hoxha to defend his Balkan fastness 
against all comers, and legends abounded of unsuspecting yachts people who 
accidentally strayed over to the ‘land of the eagles” and spent a night in 
the cells.

Now there are daily excursions by hydrofoil three times a week from Corfu 
Town to the Albanian port of Saranda, with a bus laid on to take visitors 
the 12 panoramic but pot-holed miles to Butrint. But they are scarcely 
marketed with enthusiasm by the Corfu tour operators, who greet requests for 
tickets with thinly disguised incredulity and distaste.

‘The Corfiots tell people we have horns and a tail,’ says Spiro Angjeli, 
Albanian polyglot economist turned tour guide and brother of the country’s 
finance minister. ‘But, as you see, they’re only very small tails.”

There has been little traditional love lost between Greeks and Albanians and 
the combination of the post-communist influx of desperate Albanian migrants 
and the Kosovo imbroglio has only made things worse. It is also possible to 
detect some anxiety on the part of the Corfiots, who can boast nothing quite 
as exceptional as Butrint, a Unesco world heritage site.

‘The Corfiots are greedy, complains Angjeli, who comes from Albania’s Greek 
minority. ‘They don’t realise they won’t lose out by bringing people here - 
tourists like the idea of getting two countries for one.”

Butrint visitor numbers are already climbing back from last year’s 
Kosovo-inspired nadir, clocking up more than 8,000 so far this year, 
including Albanians.

But strolling along the seafront at Saranda - a strikingly unthreatening 
place - Angjeli describes the danger he sees for the future of the town in 
the shape of two English lords: Rothschild, who owns a stretch of Corfu 
overlooking Albania, and Sainsbury, the supermarket chain president.

The pair set up a Butrint Foundation in the early 1990s with the aim of 
developing the site and their Albanian representative, the smooth-talking 
Auron Tare, is now director of the Butrint National Park. Tare confirms 
Angjeli’s fears that the foundation has all but given up on the Corfu 
Saranda route in favour of bringing upmarket eco-tourists to Butrint by road 
from mainland Greece.

If that happens, Angjeli says, Albania will lose out and Saranda will be 
denied the salvation it has been hoping for from the long-awaited tourist 
boom at Butrint.

Me nderime Ardi......
Te punojme per te pastruar imazhin e keq ndaj Shqiperise te krijuar prej 
disa bastardeve te huaj .
