In this context, the ATH is reminding politicians and all citizens that the development of Tourism has for worst enemy the chronic political instability and the ack of continuity in development strategies [...] The ATH wants that these achievements and the momentum are maintained and continued.

Social peace must be a priority for all so that economic growth and job creation are sustainable."
