Thus, the number of bookings in seaside resorts doubled from the same period of last year, with the occupancy rate in September topping 50% of hotel and pension places, reveals an analysis by Litoralulromanesc.ro travel agency.
After August 15, the peak of the summer season, seaside tariffs start to fall and the Seaside for Everybody program starts on September 5, with discounts reaching even 70% compared with August prices.
“It’s a scenario that repeats itself each autumn: the good weather and low prices make Romanians go to the seaside in the first autumn month. This year, they have another reason to choose the Romanian seaside: restrictions introduced in classical holiday destinations, and the tougher rules tourists must take into account when returning home are prompting many to rethink their travel plans,” says Ionut Nedea, Litoralulromanesc.ro CEO.
