“Yet, despite the fact that hotels and mansions in resorts are fully booked, the New Year’s Eve is not exactly a vacation time in Europe.

Only 4 pc of the Romanian respondents said they would go on vacation, while among Czechs, Hungarians and Italians the percentage is 3 pc. There is a high number of those who have no plans on New Year’s Eve: 30% of the Brits, 23% of Turks, 18% of Germans and 11% of Romanians,” reads the press release.
