The catalog will include Romania’s tourist attractions and products.
The catalog, which is to be printed this fall, will be distributed in 2013 by around 2,500 travel agencies that sell ITS products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Also, Romania will be kept in ITS’ “City Trips” catalog with tourist destinations like capital city Bucharest and the city of Sibiu.
The decision was made following talks between Tourism Ministry state secretary Cristian Barhalescu with ITS representatives in August this year, in Berlin. Romanian Tourism Ministry officials resumed talks in October, in Salzburg, at the launch of the ITS 2013 Catalog.
ITS Reisen is part of the travel division of German retail and tourism group REWE, alongside Jahn Reisen, Tjaereborg, ADAC Reisen, LTUplus, DERTOUR and Meiers Weltreisen.
REWE ranks second among German tourism groups by profit and owns over 2,500 travel agencies, either in franchise or in cooperation with other travel agencies such as Atlas Reisen, DER Reisebüro, DERPART etc., as well as incoming agencies in 13 countries.
