Eurolines Group President, Dragos Anastasiu, announced that is in talks with TUI Germany officials (Eurolines Romania is TUI Travel PLC’s representative on domestic market) to reinsert Romania in TUI catalogs starting with 2018, mediafax.ro informs.

“We are present as destination on TUI website, but German tourists are accustomed to the printed catalogs,” Anastasiu pointed out.

On this occasion he said that 2016 was a good year for Romanian tourism.

“2016 enters history as the relaunch year of Romanian tourist destination, increasing both in number of visitors from abroad and the number of Romanians who traveled across the country. Also, our touristic product has improved, Danube Delta, Transylvania and Bucharest being the stars,” Anastasiu added.

Eurolines founder said that the problems in Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey make the tourists to refocus to a safe destination: Romania. In his opinion, we should take advantage of this favorable situation and to promote ourselves in a smart way through PR campaigns.

“It’s hard to position Romania as a tourist destination with a national budget for promotion of only EUR 2 million,” Dragos Anastasiu noted.

Globally, the tourism has increased by 4 percent in 2016, the online sales increasing by 23 percent worldwide and 18 percent in Europe.

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.
