In a press release, the Bureau said the request was made in a working meeting centering on the designing and implementation of the plan of action dedicated to the diaspora, in the context of the development of nostalgic tourism.

In the meeting, representatives of the tourism sector asked for the list of activities planned to be staged in the diaspora so as to examine the possibility of becoming involved in the promotion of Moldova’s vacation industry abroad. They proposed working out an online calendar, a mobile application, a webinar, a digital tourist guide and other platforms in the field, which would be permanently updated.
The Bureau pledged to request citizens from the diaspora and embassies to obtain the schedule of tourist activities in the host countries and information about the tourist services and products that can hold interest for the diaspora.
