New tourist pole in Saranda - ADF opens 380 million lek tender, intervention on "Kodra e Gjashtës"
The area called "Kodra e Gjashtës" in Saranda will be turned into a tourist pole. The Albanian Development Fund has opened a tender with a fund limit of about 380 million lekë, which aims to invest in the transformation of public assets with development potential into models of the highest development standard.
According to the tender documents, “Kodra e Gjashtës” is one of the richest areas in terms of nature in the city of Saranda. Its area of about 3 hectares is covered with dense greenery, making it a natural oasis within the city. However, currently the area is not fully developed and needs a total development in terms of access. “The roads are unpaved with the necessary materials for full function”, - the tender documents state, among other things.
The Saranda Tourist Pole, as an Eco-Smart campus, aims to transform the area into an integrated cultural and economic center that combines accommodation, tourism, art, education, culture and community life. “The project aims to revitalize degraded assets through sustainable interventions, providing a platform for the development of the local economy and the promotion of the unique values of the region,” the ADF informs.
At the core of this objective is the creation of an innovative economic model that connects tourism with education, enabling the reduction of unemployment, the increase of specialized skills and the improvement of the quality of life for the local community. Through this project, it is intended that Saranda will become an attractive tourist destination and a development center that reflects the harmony between nature, culture and sustainable development.
Among other things, the interventions will consist of: Rehabilitation of parking layers and roads within the project area; placement of parking spaces; arrangement of outdoor spaces for the 9-year school, activity space, government building, accommodation area, greenery, etc.
