SARAJEVO, October 23 (FENA) - Sarajevo Tourism Festival, the 41st International Fair of Tourism, Hospitality and Tourism Exchange officially opened at the Skenderija Center today.

Sarajevo Canton Economy Minister Haris Bašić, who officially opened the Sarajevo Tourism Festival, said that Sarajevo and especially Skenderija are proud of this event, which has inherited the tradition of similar tourism promotion events since 1970.

"This year's fair is happening at a time when exceptional development of the tourism industry is being recorded throughout our country, and especially in the Sarajevo Canton (SC). The SC Government, i.e. the Ministry of Economy, recognizes this and we are trying to improve our capacities and our offer in every possible way,” said Bašić, adding that investments in tourism will continue.

The focus of this year's Sarajevo Tourism Festival is outdoor and adventure tourism and a conference on this topic will be held on the first day of the festival. The fair program will traditionally include catering as a very important segment of the tourist offer. Thus, this year, in cooperation with the Association of Chefs in BiH, a diverse program will be organized: international competitions, tasting service, lectures. Traditional Bosnian cuisine will be promoted this year too.

A confectionery contest is planned for tomorrow, and after voting for the best cake, all visitors will have the chance to try the cake.

The Sarajevo Tourism Festival is being held with the sponsorship of the Ministry of Economy of the Sarajevo Canton, the Tourism Board of the Sarajevo Canton and the City of Sarajevo.
