The Archaelogical park of Butrint |
According to the director of the Butrint archaeological park, Gjergji Mano the number of domestic and foreign visitors in the park has been increased significantly.
"For the third consecutive year we go to a value of 600 thousand euros of income. We had a 1 million euro budget, we tried with various projects to put these money in the service to visitors," said to media the director Mano.
The lack of the protection of the natural habitat of species around Butrint has brought serious damage over the years, and constitutes one of the challenges of this park.According to the team that manages Butrint, the adoption of modern term management plan will steer this area towards a sustainable development of tourism as a key destination on the southern coast.
"We still have much work to do in order to raise the level of the site for the visitors", adds Mano.
