Rasim Ljaji\u0107, Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications stated today in Ni\u0161 that since the beginning of the year nearly 14,000 vouchers have been distributed for vacations in Serbia.<\/p>\n
He stated that 65 percent of the vouchers were obtained by pensioners, with the vacation destinations in highest demand being the Prolom and Lukovska spas, Banja Kovilja\u010da, Kopaonik and Zlatibor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope we will distribute all 46,000 vouchers by the end of the year, as envisaged for this year\u201d, said Ljaji\u0107, attending the opening of the 17th International Fair of Tourism and Active Vacations at the \u201c\u010cair\u201d hall in Ni\u0161.<\/p>\n
Ljaji\u0107 said that since the beginning of the year only six vouchers have been handed out for vacations at the Ni\u0161ka Banja spa, a negligible number compared to other tourist destinations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is hard to achieve serious tourism development in the Ni\u0161 area without reviving Ni\u0161ka Banja. The announcement of the construction of the aqua park represents an optimistic signal that this spa could reclaim its former glory\u201d, noted Ljaji\u0107.<\/p>\n
He said that the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications is more than satisfied with the results in the tourism sector during the first two months of this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have an increase in the number of domestic tourists by 14 percent, an increase in the number of foreign tourists by 22 percent, while the number of overnight stays increased by 22 percent. Compared to the first two months of last year, the foreign exchange inflow increased by nine percent\u201d, said Ljaji\u0107.<\/p>\n
If there are no unforeseen circumstances, noted Ljaji\u0107, we can expect record tourist turnover this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
