Tourism supports a very wide range of activities, from large hotels and airlines to many smaller accommodation and other businesses, while at the same time mobilizing many sectors, from the primary sector to transport and catering. So, tourism is a growth trigger for many and for many.
It is no coincidence that the specific sector contributes significantly to the growth of our national product, employment and investments because many of the investment plans concern the sector”.
