The most exotic or more distant destinations Romanians are looking for New Year\u2019s Eve  Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador & Galapagos, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Morocco and Tunisia, say representatives of a travel agency, member of the National Association of Travel Agencies (ANAT) and International Air Transport Association (IATA), according to Agerpres. Among the most affordable New Year\u2019s Eve deals are those in Paris (540 euros), Turkey \u2013 Cappadocia (680 euros) and Lebanon (940 euros), which are priced per person, including accommodation and transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As closer destinations, there are already many bookings for Turkey, Portugal, Albania, Georgia and Germany (especially Berlin), say DAL Travel representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romanians are generally looking for warm, sunny destinations with access to the sea or the ocean during the holidays. They also prefer \u2018green\u2019 destinations, less affected by the pandemic, especially when we talk about tours. Domestically, our tourists opt for premium 4- and 5-star locations, located in nature, mountain or rural areas, where traditions have been preserved. (\u2026) Many tourists are vaccinated and do not encounter any additional problems when crossing borders, while non-vaccinated tourists are guided by the color constancy of the destination countries. In the case of Romania, both categories of tourists are booking, counting on the fact that we will most likely not go through a total or partial lockdown, as we did last winter\u201d, say the tour operator representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the quoted source, for Romania, the main premium holiday destinations are Poiana Brasov, Prahova Valley, Sibiu, Maramures, Bucovina and Paltinis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romanian tourists prefer to spend the Christmas period with their families, but if they still want to travel they opt for places in Romania, in hostels that offer traditional food and where they can enjoy local traditions. But on New Year\u2019s Eve, they prefer exotic, warm, remote destinations. Based on registrations so far, we expect the winter season \u2013 especially for exotic destinations \u2013 to be busy.
