Winter tourism is growing in most European Union member states, but the largest increase is recorded in Romania, where the number of nights spent in hotels and other accommodation facilities in the 2018-2019 winter season was 8.6% higher than in the 2017-2018 winter season, according to data recently published by Eurostat.
The growth recorded in Romania is nearly four times higher than the European Union average, where 18.9 million overnight stays were recorded in the 2018-2019 winter season, 2.6% more than in the 2017-2018 winter season. However, the growth is reported relative to the actual number of overnight stays, which is much lower in Romania.
