Possibilities of promoting gastronomic tourism in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

Tourism is one of the highest profit areas in countries with rich tourism potential. At present, the contribution of tourism in the Republic of Moldova to the national economy is relatively insignificant, due to the existence of untapped tourism potential and the country's low global visibility. In order to achieve economic efficiency in tourism, it is necessary to develop the existing tourism product, raise awareness of the importance of tourism development for local development, diversify services, and develop mechanisms to provide economic incentives (including tax incentives) for economic agents in the sector.
