ANAT: Tourism risks becoming a luxury in Romania, rather than a normal part of family life

Over 60% of Romanians cannot afford a week's holiday, indicating a worrying trend in tourism accessibility. This situation reflects economic polarization, with many excluded from travel due to declining purchasing power. While higher-income individuals continue to travel, a significant portion of the population is limited to shorter trips or off-season travel to save costs. The tourism sector calls for fiscal measures to enhance affordability and extend the holiday season through various events. A healthy tourism industry is essential for a productive economy and should be accessible to all families.
