The video is about a competition called " destinația anului" (destination of the year) which aims to find the region that inspires Romanians to vacation in Romania. Sibiu was chosen as the winner this year. The speaker, Mihai Bârşan, who is one of the organizers of the competition, discusses the Romanian tourism industry with the host Antoaneta Banu.
Here are some of the key points from the discussion:
Sibiu won the competition due to a combination of factors including public votes, jury votes, and a marketing research. Sibiu has a well-developed tourism industry and has been working together to promote itself as a tourist destination for many years.
Other winners of the competition include:
Brasov and Timisoara (cities which inspire)
Delta Dunarii (ecotourism destination)
Baile Felix (spa resort)
Biertan (village story)
Mini Transilvania Park (amusement and adventure parks)
According to a study by the Romanian Institute of Statistics, 80% of Romanians recommend holidays in Romania to their friends. However, Romania still lags behind foreign destinations in terms of perceived value for money.
Younger generations are more likely to vacation in Romania than older generations. They tend to be more open-minded about domestic travel and may see Romania in a more positive light.
An increasing number of Romanians are making their own travel arrangements directly with hotels or online platforms, rather than using travel agencies.
