Though the Spanish tourists associate Romania with Transylvania, and Dracula, we are trying to change this perception and suggest them to visit the Danube Delta, Matramures, Sarmisegetuza, the Transfagarasan and the national parks Bicaz and Ceahlau,” Bogdan Iosif said.
These are the goals that the Romanian office in Madrid will pursue as of October, so that the new catalogues with tourist destinations, published next year, and should include such proposals.
Bucharest is also on the tourist map, but in another way. “This is not a direct tourist destination but the Spanish usually spend 2 or 3 days in the capital city, either at the start or at the end of their journey toRomania,” Bodgan Ios if said.
“The Spanish want to discover Romania: they know little about it, they come to our office for information and we organize the trip for them. Unfortunately, they think they can visit the whole country in 10 days, being convinced that it is a small country and can be visited in a short time,” he explained.
Though the Romanian community in Spain is numerous, it has its influence and brings advantages to the tourism sector, Bogdan Iosif believes that the number of Spanish tourists is directly linked to the advertising campaigns of Romanian authorities, to the presence in tourism fairs and the tourist information they provide.
