Domestic trade, accommodation and food service activities
Functioning as a link between producers and consumers, trade plays a central role in the economy. The development of trade turnover - in particular, retail trade turnover - is regarded as an important indicator for short-term economic analysis.
Tourism is a significant source of income especially in regions where industry is less developed and which are rather far away from industrial and service centres. Tourism provides jobs, and it contributes to both maintaining and promoting the economic potential of a region. Not only local restaurants, hotels and the like, but also retail trade and various service providers etc. benefit from tourism.
