The tourism sector in the Republic of Moldova will benefit from investments of about 618 million lei over the next three years, as provided in the National Tourism Development Program “Tourism 2029”, approved by the Government. According to the authorities, its implementation will create approximately 5 thousand jobs and will increase the number of foreign tourists visiting the country, reports IPN.<\/p>\n\n
According to the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization, the program aims to develop rural, wine, cultural, ecological, and business tourism, as well as modernize infrastructure and digitize services. Additionally, plans are in place to improve access to at least seven tourist destinations and to exploit a minimum of ten areas with tourism potential by 2029.<\/p>\n\n
The program also provides for at least five regional and international partnerships for promoting the Republic of Moldova on external markets and exchanging best practices. Among the planned actions are the development of the tourism register, promoting online reservations, and improving the accessibility of tourist infrastructure for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n
According to estimates, revenues from accommodation and public catering could increase by about 149%, and those from air transport by approximately 89%, due to the increase in tourist flow and the extension of stay duration. The number of accommodated tourists is expected to rise from around 162 thousand to 300 thousand.<\/p>\n\n
At the same time, revenues from tourist services offered to non-residents are estimated to rise from approximately 740 million to 900 million dollars. The authorities maintain that these developments will have positive effects on the economy and will contribute to the creation of new jobs.<\/p>\n\n
The program’s funding will be provided from the state budget and external funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
