The Ministry of Tourism and Environment has issued for public consultation the draft National Tourism Strategy 2024-2030, which is the basic document for the orientation of the development of the sector in the next 6 years.

The draft states that the selected model is that of sustainable development based on three basic aspects such as environmental, social and economic, while the goal is to extend the season throughout the year, diversifying the tourist offer.

The strategy is based on six key development priorities, which are: investments, regulatory and fiscal policy of tourism, management of destinations, development of tourism products, marketing of destinations and capacity building.

For each of the priorities, the relevant policies to be followed are defined, specifying that in terms of investments, a range of fiscal incentives, support mechanisms and adapted investment schemes will be implemented to attract domestic and international investors to strategic tourism projects.

An increase in the number of employees is also predicted, from 42,698 individuals that were reported by INSTAT in 2023, to 73,778 people in 2030. According to the draft, the tourism income after the measures to be taken will increase from 4.16 billion euros, to 6.7 billion euros by 2030.
