The short-term priorities of the new president of the National Authority for Tourism, Anca Pavel-Nedea, are the drafting of the Tourism Law, unblocking holiday vouchers, and legislating the industry-specific tax.
Currently, the holiday voucher law is blocked at the issuers, but the head of ANT estimates that by the end of 2015, they will be available to companies.
Regarding the medium and long-term strategy, Anca Pavel-Nedea wants to reactivate a tourism school in Romania based on the model of countries with outstanding performance in tourism.
Another medium-term project is the one carried out with the National Institute of Statistics regarding a database, on which coherent, sustainable strategies can be built and become managerial tools.
Also, another important project is updating the IBM software on which ANT operates. The head of ANT specified that the implementation of the second module is desired, which involves collecting data from the hospitality industry, which will then be translated into efficiency indicators and lead to fundamental strategic decisions.
