THE ROMANIAN HOTEL INDUSTRY. AN ANALYSIS BASED ON REAL FACTS

Maria Luminiţa COJOCEA, Monica Maria COROS

Abstract


Romanian Tourism has undergone considerable changes in the transition to the market economy. These changes, together with inappropriate solutions adopted by the authorities, led to a mismatch between what the Ministry of Tourism (MT)/ National Authority for Tourism (NAT) communicates and promotes, and the actual situation of the Romanian tourism and hotel industry. This situation has also been maintained by poor and erroneous reporting of information by hoteliers about the hotels managed to Ministry of Tourism, but also by the poor processing of information received by the MT/ NAT, leading to a database of erroneous information. These data are practically useless for any interested parties, and moreover for those who intend to use them especially for opening a new business in hospitality industry. This paper aims to present a much closer to reality statistical summary of the hotel industry.

Keywords


hotel industry, Ministry of Tourism/ National Authority for Tourism, mismatch, statistics, tourism
