Romanian tourist inflows and imports from Greece soar in 2017

Greek exports to Romania grew 14 pct in 2017, reaching more than 870 million euros from 760 million in 2016, and have positive prospects, but Greece needs to safeguard the high quality of its exports and to immediately put a brake on the practices of “opportunistic” traders, who are hurting the good reputation of the label “made in Greece” in Romania, Greek exporters’ representatives said, according to ANA.

Speaking to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA), Kyriakos Loufakis, head of the Greek International Business Association (SEVE) and George Polychronakis, special consultant at Incofruit Hellas, underlined the need to have strict controls in the Greek market in order to safeguard that rules in bilateral trade were adhered to with all countries, not just Romania.

At the same time, more Romanians are booking their holidays well in advance, and tourism agencies are seeing a sales peak in the first months of the year, according to travel agencies.

Spain destinations have proven increasingly popular this year, in addition to Bulgaria and Greece. Overall, the three countries recorded the highest early booking sales.
