Towards building an example of sustainable tourism at the doorstep of the capital city of Tirana: Delineation and marking of visitor trails in the Dajti National Park
Dajti national Park is not a new comer in the SGP-Albania, nevertheless we thought that the new developments in this National park have created a new situation that is full of new opportunities that needed to be exploited. The recently widened park is literally at the doorstep of the capital city of Tirana. The new social trends and the construction of a new cable lift is pumping hundreds of people into the territory of the park and this situation can potentially become damaging to the fragile and pristine environment of the Park itself. At the same time we think that new situation hold a great potential for educating, guiding and shaping the thinking of the new generation and decision makers.

Due to its role as the capital city as well as the population size, Tirana has a great say in the shaping of the future policies in Albania. We think that by ?inoculating? visitors with the environmentally correct examples and concepts we could impact and mainstream our ideas into the national policies.
