Ministerul Turismului: Suntem încă prea dependenți de turistul român - StartupCafe

The Romanian Minister of Economy emphasizes the need to attract foreign tourists to reduce dependence on domestic visitors. He suggests improving tourism products and services to enhance visitor spending. The establishment of a national destination management organization is proposed to facilitate this. Despite a challenging first half of 2026, with a decline in tourist numbers and revenues, many operators remain optimistic for 2027. The study indicates a significant drop in tourist arrivals and revenues, yet accommodation capacity has increased. Operators face challenges like fiscal instability and high operational costs, with many relying on self-financing.
