Tourism Minister Mohammad Rami Martini said during the session that the ministry has managed to sign 10 investment contracts worth a thousand billion Syrian pounds (SYP) in Damascus, Aleppo, Lattakia and Tartous. 

These contracts are expected to create more than 2500 job opportunities, he added, pointing out that the ministry’s investment budget for this year amounts to SYP2.24 billion.
