Shqipëria, vendi që fiton më shumë për çdo turist !

[YaSmiN]

Sipas gazetes The Ekonomist, Shqiperia siguron prej çdo turisti mesatarisht $ 17.500, disa here me shume se vende si Luksemburgu, Australia, India, Japonia dhe SHBA.
Shqiperia ze vendin e pare ne bote per te ardhurat per çdo turist. Keshtu shkruante ne numrin e djeshem revista “The Economist”.

Sipas ketij shkrimi, Shqiperia siguron prej çdo turisti qe hyn ne vend nje mesatare prej $ 17.500, disa here me shume se vende te tjera si Luksemburgu, Australia, India, Japonia dhe SHBA.

Kjo shpjegohet me faktin se vizitoret me te shumte te Shqiperise jane biznesmene dhe emigrante qe kthehen dhe shpenzojne shume per familjet e tyre.

Eshte e vertete, por me i sakte eshte studimi i Bankes se Shqiperise, nisur nga kendveshtrimi statistikor dhe sampuli i zgjedhur mbi te cilin eshte bere ai studim. Po e shpjegoj me specifikisht.

Nese kemi shtetin X dhe Y dhe ne shtetin X kane hyre 10 turiste, ndersa ne shtetin Y 20 turiste, atehere cdo vlere mesatare shpenzimesh nuk mund te konsiderohet e krahasueshme, sepse numri i elementeve te sampulit nuk eshte i barabarte. The Economist e ka fjalen ne vend tjeter - ne cmimet e larta ne Shqiperi, jo ne shpenzimet mesatare te turisteve ne teresi. Duhet bere kujdes ne dallimin e statistikave me indikatoret makroekonomike, sidomos eksportin e turizmit, duke vrojtuar shpeshhere edhe departamentet e informacionit te shume stacioneve televizive te cilet bejne te njejtin gabim.

Ne fakt deri ne 2003 e dija qe ishte Greqia por ndoshta kane ndryshuar gjerat.Greqia ka rritur cmimet edhe sidomos ka bere shume reklama jashte shtetit per Turizmin e saj keto 2 vjet e fundit pas Lojrave Olimpike.Mendoja se Shqiperia nuk do kishte kaq turizem por me sa kam degjuar keto vitet e fundit ne Shqiperi Turizmi po shkon shume mire.Pavarsisht qe ska as drita .

Emigrantët, që kanë hyrë këto ditë në atdhe nga pikat tokësore e detare të kalimit kufitar, janë përballur me një mosmbajtje të premtimit qeveritar lidhur me lehtësimin e ndjeshëm të taksimit për ditë-qendrimi për automjetet. Taksa qe ata paguajne bëhet në bazë të ditëve të qendrimit, me kuotën 1 euro në ditë, sipas qeverisë, gjithshka do të reduktohej në një pagesë simbolike prej vetëm një euroje në momentin e hyrjes në pikën e kalimit kufitar. Por, duket se, të paktën deri tani, kjo masë rezulton e marrë vetëm në letër. Pasi, ditët e fundit, emigrantët shqiptarë, të cilët kishin dëgjuar për këtë akt të premtuar, tentuan të paguanin vetëm një euro në hyrje, por një gjë e tillë hasi në kundërshtimin e doganierëve. Sipas tyre, ata vetëm kishin dëgjuar se është marrë një masë nga qeveria, por ende nuk kanë në dispozicion një udhëzim nga ministri i Financave apo nga drejtori i tyre i përgjithshëm, që do të bënte të mundur ndryshimin e praktikës së deritanishme në këtë drejtim.

Kjo do të thotë që rriten të ardhurat nga turizmi në Shqipëri.

Hmm nese e kam kuptuar sic duhet kete shkrim them qe ja ka fut kot fare!

Ku i gjeti 17 mije dollare per turist Shqiperia? do ishim ne selamet tani edhe me ata pak turiste qe kemi!
Edhe emigrantet ne gjendje te mire financiare qe vine per pushime ne vere familjarisht me 5-6 kalamaj nuk shpenzojne me shume se 4-5 mije dollare.
Ky ndoshta ngaterron me konceptin e te derguarit para familjes nga jashte qe prape 17 mije $ ne vit eshte shume e larte.

Me falni qe eshte anglisht, por te pakten jep idene dhe debaton me shkrimin tjeter.





ENVIRONMENT- ALBANIA:
No Time to Waste

Claudia Ciobanu


TIRANA, Jul 19 (IPS) - Albania cannot hope to become a major tourist destination unless it solves its waste management problem. Seeing this, authorities are wasting no more time in taking action.

Driving along the coast of the Adriatic and Ionian seas from capital Tirana to southern Betrint presents picturesque scenery, most impressively the high mountains reflected in the transparent sea of the southern riviera.

But a closer look reveals the destructive effects of human activity. Piles of trash, comprising very visibly beer bottles and plastic wrappers, are a common sight on the coast, even in remote pastures. There are not enough waste bins along the way, or at restaurants.

"One of the things tourists coming here complain most about is garbage," says Kate Yarhouse, working for Peace Corps USA for the promotion of tourism in Albania.

Albania's waste management facilities were overwhelmed by the rapid increase in consumption in the 1990s after the fall of state socialism and the consequent opening up of the country. Proper waste treatment systems were not set up. Garbage collection facilities since then have simply not coped with the mounting waste.

The sewage produced by Albanian cities ends up, untreated, in the sea. Merita Mansaku-Meksi, an expert in waste management working for the Environmental Centre for Development Education and Networking, warns that although the water is largely safe for swimmers at the moment, the situation is not sustainable.

"Not only is sewage water dumped into the sea, but also used oil from restaurants and industrial production, and this increases the danger," Mansaku-Meksi told IPS.

Arian Gace, national coordinator at the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Albania, says that most coastal towns in the country now have plans to develop sewage collection and treatment facilities. Kavaja, close to Tirana, has already built a modern system of sewage collection, with financial assistance from the German KfW Development Bank. But most municipalities are still at the planning stage.

The country faces similar problems with solid waste management. Traditionally, the authorities have simply dumped trash into empty fields close to the residential areas. Two decades ago, when the rates of consumption and waste production were much lower, the inappropriateness of the method passed unnoticed. Now, the trash is too much and too pollutant.

Over the past years, the authorities and specialised civil society organisations have started working their way through the problem of solid waste.

Fadil Nasufi, mayor of Berat, one of the most important towns in the country, says his municipality is preparing a plan to build an ecological waste processing system. The population will be charged a yearly tax for a solid waste plant to be built and operated close to the town.

The mayor offered few details about the project, or on how waste is being handled presently. But from the beautiful medieval castle towering over the town, one can see piles of trash emitting clouds of smoke.

The picture is similar in most Albanian cities. Capital Tirana and the nearby urban areas comprising the large city Durres dump their waste in nearby Shara fields. The population of the neighbouring villages is now getting increasingly concerned about the health risks arising from the garbage, and the municipality now plans to build a landfill.

Tirana is one of only three cities in Albania to have concrete plans for constructing a landfill. The other two are Vlora and Shkonder. The rest of the municipalities, like Berat, have good intentions, not projects on the way.

But people are becoming increasingly aware of the need to deal with the garbage ecologically. Xhemal Mato, executive director of the Ecomovement Centre sees hope in the successful campaign led by his organisation against the building of an incinerator for Tirana.

The authorities had signed an agreement with Italian company Albanianbeg Ambient for building such a plant. Under those plans, the Albanian government would support the cost of constructing the incinerator with credit from the Italian government. Given that an incinerator needs to be used at full capacity to operate properly, and that the trash produced by Tirana would only require 40 percent of the capacity, it was planned that Albanianbeg would bring waste from Italy to be incinerated in Albania.

But the local population did not want Italy's trash burnt in Tirana. Mobilised by NGOs, they staged protests against the incinerator and forced their politicians to cancel the deal. "We are not sure that this means the incinerator will never be built," Xhemal Mato told IPS. "But it is an important step for us."

Merita Mansaku-Meksi also has some small victories to boast in the battle against waste. Her NGO is running awareness campaigns about recycling in 14 schools in Tirana. She is also involved in a project to teach small local communities around the capital how to separate and recycle their trash. (END/2007)

Përsa i përket postimit numër 4, ku kam pasqyruar një artikull nga Televizioni A1 më duhet të përgënjeshtroj lajmin.

Të gjithë emigrantët të cilët janë futur në Shqipëri nga pika kufitare e Kapshticës nuk do të paguajnë nga 1 Euro në ditë, por 1 Euro për aq kohë sa do qëndrojnë në Shqipëri.
