Over EUR 8.4 million will be invested in a balneary and climatic resort with health, rehabilitation, beauty and leisure centers in Ocna Mures (Alba County), a city that was Romania’s tourist map for decades for its salted baths, the glorious moment being reached in 1980, local media informs.

The balneary and climatic resort is set to receive the tourists in 2020 and the works will start in a few months, after the councilors of Alba county approved on Thursday two draft decisions on the association between County Council and Ocna Mures City Hall in order to jointly achieve this spa resort.

This project will also have fitness room, restaurant, several rooms for therapeutic treatments, pools and playgrounds for children.

The new resort in Ocna Mures will cover an area of 10.656 square meters, serving both city residents, adjacent area, and potential tourists.

Silviu Vinteler, Mayor of Ocna Mures, said that this project is a start for the city’s economic recovery.

Ocna Mures has a chlorosodic products plant, a salt extraction plant and a spa which uses the salty water from the former mines. The town is situated next to a large deposit of salt, mined in the past until the ceiling of the mines collapsed from water infiltration in 1978.

Ocna Mures Baths were for decades the main attraction of the city, but also a treatment place for those suffering from rheumatic and gynecological affections. Statistics show that in 1980, 7,500-8,000 people arrived here each year for therapeutic treatments.

I started my way in life with the intention to pursue a teaching career. But, after graduating from the Faculty of Letters – the University of Bucharest in 2004, my first job as a reporter at one of the leading newspapers in Romania changed my perspective. I have specialized in communication and communication campaigns, following the Master's courses at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies (FJSC), attending a BBC Communications scholarship.
I’ve represented several important publications in Romania as business journalist, being accredited in the finance and banking field. In 2015, I had the opportunity to interview the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief for Romania, Andrea Schaechter. As business journalist, I also had the opportunity to interview ministers for Economics and Commercial
Affairs offices within different embassies in Romania or officials of large companies investing on the domestic market.
After almost 15 years of journalism, I still want to explore new ways, to inform and stay updated. That’s why The Romania Journal project fits me so well.
Today I describe myself as a passionate about the history of world culture, having a PhD in Hebrew Culture and Civilization, after a scholarship at the University of Haifa International School, as a language addict, an environmental activist, pet lover and traveler.
