Salrom, a state-owned company with a turnover of over 500 million RON, manages five salt mines: Sl\u0103nic, T\u00e2rgu-Ocna, Cacica, Ocnele Mari, and Praid. Although tourism generates 50 million RON annually, the company invests only 2 million RON in their modernization.<\/p>\n
Salrom recorded a turnover of 498 million RON in 2022, with a net profit of 120 million RON. Tourism contributes 10% to the company’s revenue.<\/p>\n
Investments in the five salt mines were only 2 million RON, representing 4% of the tourism turnover. The salt mines require significant investments for modernization, as they have not been renovated for many years.<\/p>\n
The salt mines have considerable development potential, potentially becoming important tourist sites for both Romanians and foreigners. Last year, the five salt mines were visited by 1.5 million tourists, the highest number in the last five years.<\/p>\n
Praid Salt Mine in Harghita County attracted over 500,000 tourists last year, one-third of the total visitors. Sl\u0103nic Salt Mine in Prahova is the largest salt mine in Europe and boasts the purest air in the world.<\/p>\n
Salina Turda, managed by Turda Salina Durg\u0103u, is one of the most popular salt mines in the country, with approximately 700,000 tourists annually. Salina Turda has benefited from significant investments in recent years, attracting tourists through the amusement park in the Rudolf and Terezia Mines and boat rides on the interior lake.<\/p>\n
Romania’s salt mines have significant tourism potential that remains untapped due to a lack of investment. Modernizing and diversifying the tourism offer could transform the salt mines into attractive destinations, generating additional revenue and contributing to local development.<\/p>\n
