Basescu said the minister’s foreign activity on promoting Romania as tourist destination is very efficient.

He added the advertizing campaign organized in Italy and Spain in 2008, for which EUR10 million were spent, did not succeed in improving Romania’s image, as the media in the two countries presented Romanians in a bad light.

Basescu concluded foreign tourists should come and see for themselves what Romania can offer them and added Romania must reassert its real image by bringing forth its traditions and folklore.
