The number of tourists on the seaside increased this season by 8% compared to last year. The most sought-after resorts were Mamaia, Eforie Nord, and Venus, while Costinesti, Neptun, and Eforie Sud were at the opposite pole. For next year, tourism employer associations estimate a maximum 8% increase in hotel rates at the sea.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to the official website of the Ministry of Tourism, in the Romanian seaside resorts, including Constanta, Eforie, and Mangalia, there are 1,548 classified accommodation structures, with 56,595 accommodation spaces totaling 121,280 beds, 14,168 more than last year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Of the accommodation places, the majority, namely 64,987, are represented by hotel beds, and the remaining 56,293 beds are in villas, campsites, hostels.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The top 10 countries of origin for foreign tourists arriving on the Romanian seaside, according to National Institute of Statistics data for July, was led by Germany, followed by the USA, Israel, France, Poland, the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium, Austria, and the Republic of Moldova.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The „Seaside for Everyone” program and tickets sold through the early booking system contributed to achieving an occupancy rate of over 50% in June.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although the number of tourists increased statistically, the profit of seaside hoteliers will not exceed that of the previous year. The causes are the increase in the salary fund, low employee productivity, rising utility costs, and the significant increase in food raw material prices.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This year, the seaside faced the most serious labor crisis in the last 29 years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although the tourism business environment makes efforts every year to increase the number of tourists in seaside resorts, it has been facing the same problems for over 20 years: inefficient administration and allocation of beaches, lack of a coherent urban plan, lack of public transport, lack of sanitary points, poor public lighting, unmaintained green spaces, difficult access to the destination, unpaved or cracked roads, destroyed sidewalks, lack of organized parking, unmaintained green spaces, etc. <\/div>\n
