‘The number of foreign tourists to Romania in 2009 will not grow in the context of the tourism segment’s shrinkage worldwide, especially in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, where the fall was of 15 percent. In Romania the reduction was of 10 percent in H1, 2009 compared to the same period one year ago.
This was the outcome of the high rise in the number of foreign tourists to Romania in 2008 compared to 2007, of 30 percent, said the official of the Tourism Ministry.
Two companies represent Romania at the Tour&Travel Fair in Warsaw, which will end on Sunday. The fair gathers over 520 exhibitors from 56 countries.
