„In the latest reports of the National Statistics Institute, tour operators’ contribution to the GDP in 2010 increased 14.9% in the first quarter, 8.2% in the second, 24.1% in the third and 37.2% in the fourth quarter,” Udrea told a news conference.

She added hotels and restaurants also registered growth last year.

„I hope this growth strengthens and continues so we can speak about a re-launch of the tourism sector,” the minister said.
