Mosquitoes remain unkilled, the disinfection and disinsection tender fails for
Disinfection

Albania is expected to have a golden year of tourism this season.

Tourist operators say that they have closed bookings early and almost all accommodation structures are already full, and they are even expected to add charters due to the high demand of foreign vacationers who have chosen Albania this year.

But will this be the year where Albania will pass the exam or will it remain in the classroom?

Will our accommodation structures be able to provide the quality of service required by tourists to become a real destination where this year's vacationers will continue to promote it and return again?

We really have sea and sand that many countries would envy, but will we know how to keep them clean? Although this boom in requests from foreign tourists was expected, no one remembered about the disinfection and disinsection process which should have been carried out in March.

when the insects are still larvae to prevent their reproduction. In fact, since two years this process has not happened, when it is known that there are many mosquitoes in the coastal areas.

Years ago, this process was carried out by the Public Health Institute, but the most recent tender was held 5 years ago and the winning company had to carry out this process for three years in a row. Then the tenders fail and the funds are burned.

For the year 2023, about 80 million ALL have been allocated, but the Institute of Public Health has delegated the development of the tender to the centralized purchasing agency at the Ministry of the Interior.

But, this agency asks PIH to review the technical specifications, as they do not create inclusiveness for bidding entities.

But while the season has started, both institutions play ping pong with each other without thinking that it could have a negative impact on vacationers or that ISHP specialists themselves have stated that mosquitoes transmit infectious diseases through bites./Tch
