The project that was promised 6 years ago for the ferry line that would
go accross three cities, Pogradec, Struga and Oher, for evolving tourism
in the area, is far from being realized.
The initiatl talks started between the mayors of the three cities, and the desire for this project was big, but it is still in a discussion phase, without brining anything positive about the economy of these cities, which are mainly based on tourism.
The agreement and the initial approval by the three mayors made the town of Pogradec build the quay for the ferry, but the Albanian and Macedonian ministries have dragged their feet with the project and the quay is unused.
The realization of the ferry line would increase the number of tourists who would be able to know all three cities, regardless the one that they had chosen to lodge.
Passing through Pogradec and two most well known Macedonian cities would create the opportunities to make it more visitable by foreign tourists and Macedonians, increasing this way the cultural exchange among the countries.
