Elyssa newsroom
The tourism sector recorded a 4.5% decline in arrivals during the first nine months of this year, settling at 6.9 million visitors.
Official data, on the other hand, showed a marked increase in the volume of financial returns earned in hard currency during the same period despite declining tourist numbers.
Economic circles rely on boosting the sector's revenue to support foreign exchange reserves and contribute to reducing the current account deficit.
