In Romania, nearly half of respondents have canceled vacations due to rising energy costs, the highest rate in the EU. A survey by the European Investment Bank revealed that 47% of Romanians have given up on leisure trips, compared to a 30% EU average. Additionally, 29% have reduced travel for shopping or medical appointments, and 55% have cut back on food and health expenses. The rising energy prices have also altered car usage for 71% of participants, with many opting for public transport or cycling. Economic pressures are affecting both personal budgets and business logistics, with a potential recovery in travel dependent on fuel prices and real income growth.
