Lapid said the funded projects, which were requested last year, will help boost tourism and culture of the community, aside from creating employment.
“The tourism facilities to be put up in these areas have been synchronized to generate jobs aside from tourism development,” he said.
“During this time, we really have to promote domestic tourism due to the Middle East war, and we see more importance in promoting our local tourism,” he added. /apl
