U organizaciji Centra za omladinsko poduzetništvo, u Sali Poslovnog inkubatora grada Mostara, održan je okrugli sto na temu „Turizam – ekonomska perspektiva Mostara“. Učešće su pored predstavnika COP-a, uzeli i predstavnici Ministarstva turizma Federacije BiH, Turističke organizacije HNK i turistički radnici iz Mostara.
Ocjenjeno je da je turizam najvažnija ekonomska djelatnost grada Mostara u ovom trenutku. Razvoju turizma se posvećuje vrlo malo pažnje, što limitira i razvoj ponude grada. Poseban problem je prosjačenje, posebno jer se prosjaci okupljaju na najfrekventnijim mjestima gdje dolaze turisti.
Zaključeno je da je potrebno raditi na edukaciji svih uposlenih u turističkom sektoru, jer su uočeni i veliki propusti i po ovom pitanju. Od Ministarstva turizma Federacije BiH zatražena je mnogo veća podrška, jer Mostar je grad koji posjeti tokom sezone veliki broj turista.

The round-table “Tourism – economic perspective of Mostar”

The Center for Youth Entrepreneurship organized a new round table titled “Tourism – economic perspective of Mostar”, which found place in the office of the Center, situated in the Mostar’s Business Incubator. In addition to the representatives from the Center, spokespersons from the Federal Ministry of Tourism, The Tourist Association of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and employees in tourism in Mostar participated on the round-table. It was concluded that tourism represents the most important economic sector in the city of Mostar at this moment.
But the concern for the development of tourism is not in the center of attention, which automatically leads to a frail offer of the city.  One of the biggest problems are the beggars who gather on the most frequent places where tourists arrive. It was determined to focus more on the education of all employees in the tourist sector because there have been made mistakes here too. A bigger amount of financial support has been required from the Federal Ministry of Tourism, because Mostar has become an enormously attractive destination lately.
