Difficulties in getting visas and their high prices scare tourists away from Romania

The Romanian coast may turn into a frequently visited location for recreation of foreign tourists, especially from Ukraine, Russia, and Asia countries, but all guests encounter the same common problem – difficulties in getting tourist visas and their high prices.

The visa issue has been raised at the working meeting on tourism, arranged by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture, and Navigation last week. The Minister Maria Grapini has also taken part in the meeting. She has declared that she will strive for facilitation of the visa regime for tourists, but also noted that Romania has a Schengen border and this fact exerts certain influence upon the conditions for arrival of tourists into the country, Cuget Liber S.A. reports.
