The Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship and Tourism (MEAT) said it would promote Romania as a tourist destination at 16 national and international fairs next year. The national pavilion will bring together representatives of associations, federations and profile organizations, Destination Management Organizations, and companies.
The first event on the list is the FITUR international fair in Madrid, Spain, scheduled for January 24-28. Around the same period, January 25-28, Romania will also be promoted at Les Thermalies in Paris, France, an event focused on spa and well-being treatments.
Next, MEAT will participate in BIT Milano (February 5-6), the largest tourism fair in Italy, dedicated to both specialists and the general public.
Also in the first part of the year, Romania will be promoted at the Tour & Travel Expo, an exhibition organized between February 15 and 18 in Chisinau. Then, MEAT and its co-exhibitors will participate in ITB Berlin between March 5-7, Ferien Messe in Vienna, Austria (March 14-17), and the Salon Mondial du Tourisme in Paris (March 14-17).
