The ambassador said that each palace or fort has its own heritage and touristic value, as a monument or a hotel which should be enhanced by building cooperative circuits and high connectivity among others.
He said an efficient and safe transport network between tourists spots is equally indispensable.
This is one of the essential facilities to establish in tourist circuits, a release quoting him said.
