Kumbaro, message to businesses from Vlora/ "Work together to clean up

In continuation of the inspections in the coastal municipalities which are assisted with an additional cleaning operator, the Minister of Tourism and Environment, Mirela Kumbaro, stopped in Vlora, one of the coastal municipalities that for this summer tourist season is supported by an additional cleaning operator through the National Agency of The coast.

During the inspection, Minister Kumbaro emphasized that Vlora has been a difficult case in terms of the work for cleaning the territory compared to other coastal municipalities that are supported by this project, therefore the additional cleaning operator is covering a part of the city in addition to the coast , which belongs to the municipality.

"I have to say that Vlora was the most difficult front compared to Durrës, compared to Kavaja, Saranda, Himara and Rrogozhina because Vlora was added to the AKB beach cleaning package this year. It turned out to be the most difficult front for us and in a way I want to thank the National Coastal Agency for covering a part of the city's territory, which belonged to the municipality to do it", said Kumbaro.

In this period when tourist flows are expected to increase even further, according to Minister Kumbaro, the biggest work in Vlora is awareness, education, communication, but also punishment with fines. Minister Kumbaro also stated that in this process, cooperation with businesses is very important.

"Of all the monitoring we do together in 24 hours, the biggest problem we have is with businesses. And if we have to radically improve something, it is communication with businesses. I want to give a message to businesses: There can't be tourism, there can't be service in the hotel, there can't be service in the restaurant while the businesses are lying to themselves by taking their trash cans, mistreating them," Minister Kumbaro continued. .
