Turismul din România, dependent de voucherele de vacanță ale bugetarilor. Gradul de ocupare a scăzut la 30% • Newsweek România

Romania's tourism sector heavily relies on vacation vouchers for public employees, with occupancy rates dropping to 25-30% in early 2026. The total value of vouchers issued decreased, leading to a significant decline in reimbursements. The ANAT vice president emphasizes the need for a more effective voucher system to boost domestic tourism and suggests extending the program to the private sector, similar to Moldova's model. Current voucher values have been reduced, impacting travel budgets and early bookings. A call for a five-year extension of the legal framework for vacation vouchers has been made to support the industry.
