Turismul bubuie în Europa, dar în România e în cădere liberă | Eurostat: „E a doua cea mai spectaculoasă scădere”

Recent Eurostat data reveals a significant decline in Romania's tourism, with a 6.7% drop in overnight stays in the first half of 2026, contrasting with a 1.7% increase across the EU. This decline positions Romania among the countries with the largest decreases in the EU, second only to Cyprus. While the overall European market is thriving, Romania's tourism heavily relies on domestic visitors, with only 23% of overnight stays attributed to foreign tourists. This is significantly lower than the EU average of 48.9%. The disparity highlights Romania's struggle to attract international tourists, raising concerns about its tourism industry's future.
