Why did the tourists die? Tour operators: Do not follow the advice of guides who
Tourists

Valbona Valley is one of the main tourist attractions of our country.

But unfortunately, two tourists, one French and one Belgian, lost their lives there the day before.

Aida Gjeçaj, an entrepreneur who has owned a guesthouse in Theth for 10 years and is also a National Certified Guide with expertise in the Albanian Alps, shows how tourists do not follow the advice.

" We have certified mountain guides and many professionals, at least two or three for the Valley. 200,000 tourists pass through Theth or Valbona throughout the season" - says Aida Gjeçaj, Certified National Guide, Theth.

What is being done to insure the lives of tourists, especially those seeking adventure tourism?

"The partner agencies we have in European countries always expect a life insurance for every tourist they bring from abroad. Any tourist who sleeps in our hostels, whether in Theth or in Valbona, if he tells the owner of the hostel that tomorrow I want to pass the Valbona pass, he would be advised that no, the path is closed, it is dangerous and insurmountable. At least until mid-May. There are those who feel a certain self-confidence since they may come from the alpine areas of Europe and think they can manage the snow. Sometimes it seems to me that they want to save them a few lek to get a guide.

Two days ago I had four young 20-year-old tourists who I hope are not the group in question, who were tent campers who come to explore the National Park and do not sleep in any hostels. They were looking for the Valbona trail, the moment I realized that they want to pass the Valbona pass, I told them that it was impossible, but I felt a perception that they were not 100% convinced of what I was saying and I was afraid that they might they tried it. I hope it was not the group in question as the two girls who fell were with their friends and it was the friends who alerted the local residents and therefore the police and the rapid intervention forces" - says Aida Gjeçaj for Tch .
