Romania is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination, thanks to its stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. And now, the country is set to surge even further in the tourism industry with a new visa-free travel policy for 88 countries, including Schengen countries, the UAE, UK, and US.
This new policy, which came into effect on January 1, 2022, allows citizens from these 88 countries to enter Romania without a visa for stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This is a significant step forward for Romania, as it opens up the country to a wider range of tourists who may have been deterred by the visa application process in the past.
The inclusion of Schengen countries in this visa-free policy is particularly noteworthy, as it allows for easier travel within the European Union for those who wish to explore Romania as part of a larger European vacation. The UAE, UK, and US are also key markets for Romanian tourism, and the visa-free policy is expected to attract more visitors from these countries as well.
In addition to the visa-free policy, Romania has been actively promoting its tourism industry through various marketing initiatives and investment in infrastructure. The country boasts a diverse range of attractions, from the medieval castles of Transylvania to the picturesque villages of Maramures, and the stunning beaches of the Black Sea coast.
Tourists can also enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking in the Carpathian Mountains, exploring the Danube Delta, or visiting the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Sighisoara and the painted monasteries of Bucovina.
With its new visa-free travel policy and a range of unique attractions, Romania is well-positioned to attract a growing number of tourists in the coming years. Whether you’re interested in history, culture, nature, or simply relaxing on the beach, Romania has something to offer for every type of traveler. So why not pack your bags and explore this hidden gem in Eastern Europe? Romania is waiting to welcome you with open arms.
