Romania currently does not have an official tourism website, though the Tourism and Regional Development Ministry (MDRT) has programmes worth tens of million euros for tourism promotion. By comparison, countries such as Bulgaria, Slovenia or Croatia have official tourism websites whose content is translated in at least four languages.
Moreover, Tourism Ministry officials have recently announced
they had partnerships with Facebook in mind, even though the
primary condition to “exist” on the Internet is to have an official
website for Romanian tourism.
Asked by ZF which is Romania’s official travel website, MDRT
officials stated they own several websites, created by promotion
offices abroad, enumerating the addresses: romania.travel.com,
romaniatourism.com., rumanitour.com, romaniatravel.ru, romania.it,
rumanien-info.at, rumaenien-tourismus.de, guiderroumanie.com. The
problem is that these websites are dedicated to certain markets,
such as the Italian or Russian one, and allow for the content to be
viewed only in one language. None of the above-mentioned websites
allows for content to be viewed in Romanian. Moreover, each of
these websites presents different content and graphics elements,
unlike the websites of other European countries.
All the countries neighbouring Romania have an official travel
site.
