“Around 100,000 people, compared to 79,000 last year, spent the night at accommodation establishments in all tourist areas countrywide. (…) Some 27,500 Romanians spent the first three nights of the May Day vacation in classified accommodation units on the Romanian Black Sea Coast, 10% more from 2012,” according to the federation of employers in the Romanian tourism sector FPTR.
It also said over 10,000 tourists spent the first three nights of the vacation in non-classified lodging units. Mamaia and Vama Veche remained the most popular seaside resorts this year too.
The average vacation budget estimated for services other than accommodation and breakfast, stands at RON100 per day. Thus, over RON8.25 million were spent on food and leisure activities in the first three days of the May Day vacation at the seaside.
Around 20,000 tourists chose to spend the vacation in the mountains, a level similar to that in 2012, while over 8,000 Romanian tourists left abroad, 42% more from the previous year, mainly due to a higher number of non-working days this year, compared to the same period in 2012. (EUR1=RON4.3072)
