The search for Romanian sojourns have increased by 52% in just one week, as the holiday vouchers for 2022 have already started to be loaded, according to an analysis published on Friday by an online booking platform.

"The search for holidays in Romania has increased by 52% in just one week, with tourists already making plans for the summer months. In this context, we tried to prepare in advance for this moment when the money are hitting the cards, and we have the widest range of offers for people who want to use their holiday vouchers," said Ferenc Rigo, CEO of Travelminit.ro.

Starting this year, the holiday tickets will be available only on a card fed with 1,450 lei, the same amount as before.
