Museum. While not primarily a tourist attraction, the setting up of a
new regional museum at Spilleja village presents an opportunity to present aspects of the
area’s heritage to visitors by means of special exhibitions and / or interpretation of nearby
sites, such as Rreth Greth.

yet to be realised. Low impact type developments are proposed to include angling access
and stands and controlled use of motorised pleasure crafts. River bank amenity and walks
are also highly desirable. Development initiatives underway including angling stands,
improvement walks are welcome developments which should be encouraged to further
exploit the amenity and recreational potential of the Shkumbini rivermouth.
The The Adjacent Adjacent Lagoon Lagoon of of Karavasta. Karavasta. This lagoon which is located south to Shkumbini
river mouth is the largest wetland site in Albania. Inside the Karavasta area there are three
categories of Protected Areas: (i) Karavasta Lagoon, which is Strict Natural Reserve, (II)
Divjaka National park, and (III Kulari- Managed Nature Reserve. The wetland shelters large
quantities of winter water birds and is also a major nesting site for species of conservation
concerns. At least six species of birds in Karavasta represent figures of international
importance. Among them the worth mentioning is the presence of Globally Threatened
Species such as the Dalmatian Pelican, Great Spotted Eagle, etc. Thus, the potentials for
recreation through nature tourism (including naturalist excursions, bird watching, horse
riding and carefully regulated angling and hunting) are real and could serve as a magnet
for tourist attraction.

ourism. The continuation of low scale tourism projects in rural areas is highly
desirable provided that accommodation is linked to particular activities, such as walking,
angling, horse-riding, cycling, etc. While rural tourism is unlikely to feature strongly in the
market positioning, a niche potential exists to attract visitors for a specialist rural experience.
It should be possible also to engage other visitors for day visits. Recently developed products
such as farm shop, pottery studio, farm trail, and “put and take” fishing lake have yet to
realize their potential. While the marketing of stay-over rural holidays is probably best
accomplished through association with specialist tour operators and co-operation with
neighboring areas, consideration should be given to greater promotion of activities and
attractions in the rural areas to holiday visitors at the coastal resorts.
8.1.2. “Soft Attractors”
A further range of attractors have been identified which are capable of either attracting new
visitors and / or enhancing the experience of visitors attracted by other factors. In each
instance these attractors utilize existing resources - facilities and people - and while
requiring some investment are not capital intensive.
