The National Association of Travel Agencies (ANAT) welcomes Greece's initiative to reopen tourism season as of May 14 and considers that this should be a model for Romania as well.

Exhibitors at the Romanian Tourism Fair 2015 (TTR) have prepared travel packages at discounts of up to 40-50 per cent for external destinations and up to 30 per cent for domestic destinations, Romexpo Director General Catalin Trifu told a TTR presentation conference on Tuesday.

But the numbers of visitors are lower compared to the same weekend in 2013, when around 165,000 tourists were registered.
