The Romanian seaside is increasingly sought after by Romanian tourists
In the last two weeks, requests for stays on the Romanian seaside have increased by over 50% compared to the same period in 2019, considered the best year in the history of Romanian tourism.
Many Romanians are choosing the Romanian seaside this summer as well to spend their main annual vacation because they feel much safer. The criteria that matter are proximity to home, accessibility, as well as the fact that they are not required to provide a PCR test or proof of vaccination, which are mandatory for traveling abroad.
In general, holiday bookings are for the July – August period, which is why, at this moment, there are already hotels that, for certain intervals during the peak season, have an occupancy rate of 100%.
The pandemic has also changed the consumption behavior of the Romanian tourist: thus, many are turning especially towards 3 and 4-star hotels to benefit from quality services and because they feel safer from a sanitary point of view.
Representatives of Litoralulromanesc.ro believe that this summer season the number of tourists who will spend a stay at the Black Sea will increase compared to the last 2 years and hope that 2021 is the year of the relaunch of domestic tourism in general and seaside tourism in particular.
