Reportstack has announced a new market research publication on Travel and Tourism in Romania to 2018. Romanian travel and tourism sector recorded slow growth due to weak and uncertain economic conditions in 2009–2010. However, on account of increased tourist volumes, the industry recovered and has shown signs of improvement. Over the forecast period, the sector is expected to register positive growth as its economy recovers. The country is expected to benefit from its accession to the European Union (EU) in 2007, as this will provide more exposure to foreign investment, lower air fares and facilitate travel for tourists from other European countries.

Key Highlights
• Romania recorded significant economic growth during 2000–2008, which reduced poverty levels. According to World Bank, absolute poverty shrank from 35.9% in 2000 to 5.7% in 2008. Romania joined the EU in 2007, which led to several economic reforms and restructuring programs in the country. However, the global financial crisis of 2008 hindered Romania’s economic growth, impacting foreign investments and reducing industrial production rates. Subsequently, the country fell into recession in 2009 and 2010, with GDP declining by 7.1% and 1.3% respectively.
• Suceava county is one of Romania’s most popular tourist destinations. The region is famous for its cultural heritage, and has a place in UNESCO’s World Heritage sites list. The churches of northern Moldavia, built during the 15th and 16th centuries, are key tourist destinations. The site was included in UNESCO’s World Heritage list in 1993.
• The Romanian tourism sector is facing strong competition from Western European countries. When compared with competitors such as Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece and Cyprus, Romania’s tourism offering is widely thought to be limited, concentrated on a few hotels and resorts, and developing tourism areas such as health and spas, and business tourism. These are, however, important areas for Romanian tourism. To compete with other countries, Romania needs to improve its transport infrastructure, and comfort levels in hotels.
• Romania’s largest tourism campaign to date was launched in 2010, with the slogan Explore the Carpathian Garden, and a new logo. The Romanian government allotted a promotional budget of EUR75 million from EU funds for the period 2010–2013. The campaign was based on a market study carried out in Romania and its eight most important tourism source markets: Germany, the UK, Italy, Russia, Austria, the US, France and Hungary. The study revealed six products of tourist interest: cultural circuits, nature, rural tourism, city breaks such as Bucharest and Bra?ov, adventure tourism, and wellness and spa tourism.

• The Romanian hotel market recorded uneven room occupancy rates during the review period. The occupancy rate declined from 46.8% in 2009 to 39.6% in 2010, impacted by the eurozone crisis which led to a decrease in demand from European travelers. Recovery was recorded in the following year, with the occupancy rate reaching 41.6% in 2011. However, as European countries entered another recessionary phase in 2012, the occupancy rate declined again. An 3.2% increase in hotel room supply in 2012 was also partially responsible for the decreasing occupancy rate.
