Cadastur Surpasses 70 Thousand Service Providers

The database of the Ministry of Tourism has reached the best result in history with 75 thousand registered in the National Register of Tourist Service Providers (Cadastur). Compared to last year, there was a growth of 23%, when this number was 61.2 thousand.
