“The main goal of the project is the improvement of tourism in BiH, which offers real opportunities for growth and opening of new workplaces, especially for young people,” said Ambassador Minasi, and added that BiH has great potential and that this project will be a perfect example of using that potential for work and development.
He expressed hope that this would attract even more tourists to BiH, including those from Italy.
Via Dinarica was included as one of the world’s best destinations for nature lovers in the list of National Geographic in the year of 2017, and according to Khoshmukhamedov, the investment of Italian Government will enable further improvement of tourist offer and capacities.
