The hotel and restaurant sector made the largest contribution to the region's GRP growth, showing a 10.32% increase, which is associated with the rise in tourist numbers and improved infrastructure. The transport services also demonstrated positive dynamics, growing by 8.45%, due to the activation of air and sea communications.
