Half of Albania is butchered like this, beaches and green being destroyed to make resorts for the tourists to come. Go see Dermi or Vuno and then go see Borsh how clean it is, with no excavations at all or resorts being build.

Don't forget that resorts et al typically belong to international capital, and the tourists rarely leave the premises.

So what does the local economy get out of it? A few maids salary to clean up the tourist's shit?

We happened to be in Borsh beach around a week or so ago, and that will be a tourist wreck in 2 years. Multiple working sites, 70% of the beach already claimed by beds.

Quite laid-back in May / start of June, but I do not want to be there in the high season.

Same in Greece. Right off the coast of Albania, Corfu is seeing heavy development as well.
