Increasing request for hotel services in Skopje over the completed two years has prompted a building boom by investors, yielding a much-desired gain for the hospitality and construction sectors in Macedonia. "The hotel business in Skopje is expanding due to the continual increase in foreign tourists. We expect the trend to continue both for individual and group visits," Ksenija Milosevska, manager of Skopje's Hotel Karpos.
