The Government of the Republic of Moldova has approved the National Tourism Development Program “Tourism 2029”, a strategic document that will guide the development of the tourism sector over the next four years.

The program aims to transform tourism into a driver of economic growth, capable of attracting more visitors, generating additional income for businesses and local communities, and creating new jobs across the country.

Planned actions include the development and modernization of tourism infrastructure, training of industry specialists, and the promotion of Moldova’s tourism offer through modern digital tools. The program will also support the growth of rural tourism and contribute to the more effective valorization of the country’s cultural, natural, and wine‑making heritage.

In 2025, the tourism sector registered over 600,000 visitors and revenues exceeding 5 billion lei, confirming the growing interest in Moldova’s tourism destinations.

For the implementation of the program during 2026–2029, a budget of 618.2 million lei has been allocated. Authorities estimate that the planned measures will increase tourism’s contribution to the national economy and lead to the creation of approximately 5,000 new jobs.

The Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization will coordinate and monitor the implementation of the program.
