New Tourism Minister wants to reopen closed tourist information centers in major world capitals
2018 is a year for setting investment priorities and merging regulations into a single Tourism Law, according to Bogdan Trif, the new Minister of Tourism. Reducing bureaucracy is another priority.
Investments in projects of national importance, drafting the Tourism Law, reducing the bulky legislation in the field, and creating a guarantee fund for tourist packages are the priorities of the new Minister of Tourism, Bogdan Trif, for this year.
He specified that the Tourism Law is a priority on his agenda. Currently, we have an extremely bulky legislative framework; there are dozens of normative acts that tend to confuse the business environment in the field. We have somewhere around 75 normative acts regulating the field. I want to reduce their number, the minister stated.
Also, investments in projects of national importance have a well-defined place in the ministry’s agenda this year. We will touch upon the most important nature tourism areas in our country: the Danube Delta, the Black Sea, and the mountain areas. Developing the infrastructure of the ski area – Fagaras Mountains – 200 days of snow per year, developing the tourist area in the Danube Delta and the resorts on the Black Sea coast, are at the top of the list.
„In addition, I am counting on tourist information centers in the most important capitals of the world. Besides the 8 that existed and which I intend to reopen as soon as possible, I want us to reach other corners of the world,” Trif specified.
He also stated that Romania has a logo, not a well-configured tourism brand.
