The spring edition of Romania’s Tourism Fair was held
\nover February 18 and February 21. It was a special edition, held exclusively
\nonline, enabling exhibitors to display their holiday offers for the most
\nattractive domestic destinations. Also, online visitors of the fair had the
\nopportunity to compare accommodation and transport fees straight on the
\nplatform, which also included gadget offers and holiday accessories. <\/p>\n

The Romanians have a tremendous urge to explore the
\nworld, and that was obvious at the virtual version of Romania’s Tourism Fair.
\nTen thousand people registered for this edition and made roughly 32,000 visits
\non the platform, for the four days of the fair. The exhibitors’ offer was
\nextremely generous for the visitors of our platform. All in all, promoted as
\npart of this virtual edition were Romania’s most beautiful touristic areas, which
\nwere represented, as usual, by county councils and municipalities. Practically,
\nwe could say our visitors had their fair share of the most comprehensive
\ndigital experience in the field of tourism, being a couple of clicks away from
\npurchasing their much-desired holiday, at once enjoying the leisure of their
\nown home. <\/p>\n

The Descoperimromania.ro platform was one of the
\nexhibitors. The platform presented the most beautiful and the most attractive
\ndestinations. With details on that, here is project manager Alina Rosoiu who
\nalso disclosed virtual visitors’ areas of interest.<\/p>\n

Tourists are interested in Romania, in traditions, in
\nspecial accommodation units with a limited number of rooms. This year,
\ntourists’ interest in hotel compounds has been on the wane. Extremely sought-after
\nare the little guesthouses and agro guesthouses. We have a special interest in the
\nDanube Delta, in the Romanian Black Sea coast, in Maramures and, last but not
\nthe least, in Bukovina. We have very good offers for tourists. For instance,
\nEaster Holiday packages start from 200 Euros, for a stay in the Danube Delta, and
\nfrom 150 Euros for a stay in the Danube Gorges. The pandemic, which is still
\nongoing, may scare us, yet we need to know Romania is a safe destination. We do
\nour best for our guests’ safety. We’re waiting for you and we comply with all
\nthe sanitary safety standards in place. We’re in the middle of nature, so there
\nis a minimum amount of risk. Accommodation units abide by the sanitary
\nprotection requirements, so it should be no problem for you to visit Romania.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
One of the most sought-after destinations at the fair
\nwas Maramures, as expected. Maramures
\nCounty Council’s head of the Public Relations Department, Laura Danci, gave us
\nthe details on that.<\/p>\n

The stand of Maramures this year was not as lively as
\nit was in the previous years, sadly, because of the pandemic. We were present
\nonly through an online platform, yet we did have a couple of offers and we also
\ncame up with a new site, Visit Maramures. The offer we have come up with at the
\nTourism Fair was labelled ‘Twelve reasons to visit Maramures’ while on our new
\nsite, Visit Maramures, we have covered just about everything Maramures had to
\noffer to tourists, from gastronomy, traditional craftsmen to cultural tourist
\nroutes, to landscape. In the previous years we also launched an application for
\nmobile devices, Visit Maramures, where we made available all tourism
\ninformation centers, all the guesthouses. Yet we thought that a website will be
\na lot easier to access by everybody. We took part in the fair, and the feedback
\nwe got was quite good. We had very many visitors, even online. Hundreds of visitors
\nasked us what they could visit in Maramures and what a surprise we had, in
\nthree days alone, the site had 2,047 views. <\/p>\n

\nsouthern Romania. <\/p>\n

It has been a privilege for us, as a cultural
\ninstitution, to receive an invitation from Romania’s Tourism Fair, the virtual
\nedition, 2021. Our products have met the demands of our public, whose interest
\nin digital consumption is growing: information, education, entertainment. Our
\noffer entirely focused on these three components. We started off from the idea
\nthat the scope of a museum and its cultural products needs to go beyond the
\nphysical confines. So we created cultural products meant to draw the public
\nespecially through visual impact and then through the information we offer.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Museum of Oltenia is an institution which is more
\nthan 105 years old, it is a cultural landmark for the area of Oltenia, having a
\nregional importance. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Carmen Paun: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It manages an impressive heritage, of which 570 items
\nhave been included in the treasure category. We do our job in four separate
\nbuildings, right at the heart of Craiova, always awaiting our visitors with our
\n12 essential permanent exhibitions of three sections that we have. Also, we
\nhave three interactive areas and two modern conference rooms. So what we got is
\na huge potential Oltenia’s cultural sector in Craiova offers to the public. As
\nof late we have also promoted educational programs. We have digitalized the
\ncontent of our exhibitions extensively. <\/p>\n

Thanks to the local administration, since 2016, Dolj
\nCounty has had a cultural-artistic route, labelled Dolj history and
\ntraditions, with five major assets: the Bania House, the history and
\narchaeology section, and two semi-fortified buildings, cule, in
\nRomanian, located in the commune of Brabova. For the refurbishment of the two cule
\nalone, more than one million Euros has been invested . <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have also reached Transylvania and we spoke to
\nSturza Ileana, with the Zlatna Tourism Promotion and Information Center.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Our virtual
\ntourism information and promotion stand covered the accommodation units in the
\nregion, natural tourist assets, the anthropic ones, the region’s specific
\ntraditions and the tourist routes. For lovers of nature, we have two, maybe
\nthree-hour routes, but also routes lasting 13 to 14 hours or even a couple of
\ndays. I should also like to mention the natural assets, the limestone blocks in
\nValea Mica, the Fenes Gorges, the Bulbuci Rock. For those who are into climbing
\nand sports climbing, the Fenes Gorges and the Bulbuci Rock are the perfect
\ndestination. We have received collaboration offers from travel agents, from
\nother tourism operators and I think we have made ourselves more visible that
\nbefore. I can infer that from the great number of viewers we had.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Access was free of charge to the virtual edition of
\nRomania’s Tourism Fair. The virtual stands could be accessed from anywhere,
\nwhile special offers were found very quickly, thanks to the intelligent
\nfiltering system. <\/p>\n
