Romanian Tour Operators’ 9-Mo Revenues Dn Up To 25%

Of the total 2.5 million holiday packages that have been sold, over 1.3 million packages targeted local destinations on the Romanian seaside and 800,000 packages targeted holidays abroad.

The number of tourists choosing packages for both local destinations and holidays abroad is expected to increase this winter after several special early booking offers were launched, said Martin.

About 50,000 holiday packages have been sold so far through the early booking program for local destinations, almost double compared to last year when 30,000 holiday packages were sold.

The early-booking program includes offers of 159 tour operators and 146 accommodation facilities. The program also includes 38 resorts, of which 13 are seaside resorts.

Tour operators’ revenues through the early booking program for local destinations increased by over 66% this year, to 50 million lei (EUR1=RON4.2737).
