Converting bunkers into hostel rooms

What should Albania do with the 750,000 concrete bunkers scattered throughout its wild landscape? One graduate project by two students in an italian university says that the bunkers should converted into cheap hostel rooms.

It's a pretty good idea, and I hope it gets more coverage. The plan is brilliant: convert the existing bunkers into tourism attractions. One-room hostels, all over the country, everywhere. The buildings are already there. They need a little bit of care and a little bit of attention.
