Peste 60% dintre români nu își permit o săptămână de vacanță. ANAT: Turismul riscă să devină un lux

The rising cost of living is making vacations increasingly unaffordable for many Romanians, with 61.4% unable to afford a week off annually. ANAT highlights a growing divide in the tourism market, where higher-income individuals continue to travel while others cut back or forgo vacations altogether. Families are opting for shorter trips and early bookings to save costs. The association warns that rising prices and external competition from countries like Bulgaria and Greece could further limit access to vacations. ANAT calls for reduced VAT for tourism and infrastructure investments to support the industry.
