Starting January 1, 2019, the Cluj-Napoca City Hall is introducing a tourism tax, so starting with the first day of the following year, accommodation in Cluj-Napoca will cost 5 RON more. The money will be used to fund a budget dedicated to tourism, created on a European model. The Cluj-Napoca City Hall expects to collect over 4 million RON/year from this tax.
In Oradea as well, hoteliers charge a tax of 2% of the accommodation rate, which they then transfer to the City Hall’s account. The money is used for the promotion of the city, through an association established by the municipality for this purpose. In Iași, the tax represents 0.75% of the accommodation rate.
