حسن رشيد؛ بعد عودتي إلى بلدي سورية وبعد عودة الحريات ورفع العقوبات والقوانين الوضعية التي تصادر حرية الرأي والتعبير
حتى أن أحدا لم يكن يجرؤ على التصوير !
تحت مسميات واهية مختلة
وجدت جنة على الأرض
أرضا بكرا
من الجمال والجبال والسهول والوديان والهضاب والآثار والبحيرات والأنهار والكنوز
والقنوات الرومانية والهياكل المقدسة والكثير الكثير
نحتاج اليوم إلى الدعم والتحرك
لنعيد سورية إلى الخريطة
فبعد رفع العقوبات
يجب علينا أن نرفع الكثير من الجمال ونضعه متعة للناظرين والسائحين
تجربة الارشاد المحلي في سورية صعبة سهلة
حلوة ومرة
ولكنها بحاجة فعلا الى الاكتشاف
نرحب في سورية للجميع
