Turismul montan scade. Hotelierii reclamă scăderi de până la 30%

The mountain tourism sector in Romania experienced a decline of 15-30% in summer 2026 compared to the previous year, with a notable drop in overnight stays. Tourists are increasingly opting for day trips instead of longer stays, impacting hotel occupancy and restaurant revenues. Despite a slight increase in foreign tourists, domestic visitors remain the primary clientele. Factors such as reduced vacation budgets and rising costs have contributed to this trend. Industry representatives emphasize the need for measures to support domestic tourism and ensure economic stability for local communities.
