“It serves our interests to promote the Dracula myth. It is very important and we must use it because it already exists in the minds of tourists,” Udrea said at the Berlin International Tourism Fair.

She added that Romania will use the legend for touristic purposes and that Bran Castle, which is connected to the historical character of Dracula, will be promoted as a tourist destination.

Bran Castle was returned on May 18, 2006, to Dominic of Habsburg, the nephew of Queen Maria and son of Princess Ileana, and will remain a museum until May 18, 2009, under the management of the Romanian Ministry of Culture.

The Berlin International Tourism Fair, the largest such fair in the world, featuring 11,100 exhibits from over 180 countries, takes place between March 11 and 15.
