Minister of Tourism, Eng. Mohamed Rami Martini inaugurated on Saturday the “Karnak Site A” and “Al-Ahlam Beach” projects for popular tourism which are invested by the Syrian Company for Transport and Tourism.

The Minister was briefed on the Engineers beach project under construction with a capacity of 800 chairs, the location of the Ghamka River  and the possibility of setting up tourist investments in it.

In a statement to reporters, Engineer Martini said that the opening of projects comes within the framework of the government’s plan to develop the popular tourism sector and provide better services at specific and thoughtful prices.

Martini pointed out that popular organizations have greatly invested in the field of popular tourism in all governorates and in cooperation with administrative units, noting the existence of many interesting tourism projects for Syrian expatriates who participate in the renaissance of Syria and the reconstruction of the economic and tourism sector, contrary to what some of the enemies of the homeland are trying to promote.

In turn, Director of the Syrian Company for Transport and Tourism, Fayez Mansour, clarified that the development of Karnak chalets began last year on an area of 24 dunums, and there is a plan to increase the space next year. Al-Karnak project is equipped with services for one-day visitors, winter and summer restaurants, wooden and cement chalets that can accommodate six people or more, at prices that suit all segments of society. Al-Ahlam Beach project is one of the projects that support tourism, and it is dedicated to swimming for one day without residence, and it receives people from Tartous and abroad. It also has a summer and winter restaurant, children’s games, shared kitchens, and others.

During the tour that Minister Martini made to a number of tourist sites and facilities in the governorate, the foundation stone was laid for the “Bahr and Jabal” tourism project of the municipality of Beit Kamouna.

The Minister also toured the tourism projects under construction, concluding his tour with the inauguration of an art exhibition by the artist Osama Jahjah at the Rose Marie Hotel in Drikish, which included 30 collage paintings in which women represented their human states with a new feminine mould, away from the classics.
