Watermelon fest, producers exhibit different varieties of watermelon

For several days the watermelon festival has gathered thousands of tourists at the main square of Karavasta National Park. 


Producers exhibited and traded a number of varieties of watermelon and melon for vacationers, as well as preparing watermelon and melon based dishes. 


On the last night of the fair saw the attendance of the Minister of Tourism Blendi Klosi, who said that watermelon this year has reached record exports abroad, currently with 81 thousand tons of watermelon sent abroad. 


Such a celebration, according to Klosi, is aimed at encouraging the development of agro-tourism in this area. 


"This is our idea of a seasonal fest. Festivals that are not just to create a better atmosphere for tourists who visit our beaches, but more than that we want domestic production to be promoted. 


"We want traders to sell more products and what we have said, agrobusiness, agro-tourism is to be part of this season's development. 


The head of tourism also pursued the newest tourist route in the Divjaka area, a boat trip through the lagoon, which complements the agenda of foreign tourists seeking more than just beach tourism.
