“We are working with the Finance Ministry and the Competition Council to draft a government-subsidized scheme in the tourism industry,” Jianu told the Mediafsx talks about SMEs conference.

He said the scheme would stimulate investments in accommodation and leisure infrastructure, including casinos and golf courses, which in turn would help increase the tourist inflow.

“This would increase the occupancy rates and would extend the tourist season,” Jianu said. “We need to be proactive and come up with different instruments to attract tourists.”
