The works on the Călărași Tourist Port, a strategic investment of approximately €17.08 million, have been completed, marking the conclusion of the Borcea Branch tourism development project. The project, carried out through the collaboration between the Ministry of Economy, Digitalization, Entrepreneurship, and Tourism (MEDAT) and the Călărași County Council, aims to create a modern leisure infrastructure to support the region’s economic development.
The new port has a capacity of 250 boats and offers complete facilities, including pontoons, administrative and commercial spaces, a repair shop, and relaxation areas. Out of the total investment value of 87 million RON (approximately €17.08 million), MEDAT’s contribution represented 70% of the core funding. Additionally, through the “Mystical and Green Danube” transnational program, which will run until 2026, the location will host Romania’s first information point dedicated to a tourist route that highlights the Danube’s heritage.
