Even if the value added tax was increase by 5% to 24% from July 1, NATA travel agencies protect the rates from the VAT influence in order to addapt them to the tourists purchasing power, lately to be found out, unfortunately, in a continuous decrease.
Despite the difficult situation faced by Romania in this period, the Romanians are willing to travel but no longer have the same purchasing power.
Due to the crisis and the austerity measures, NATA travel agencies announce that rates will not increase for 2010 holiday season!
The decision is a natural one since we are facing a sharp decline in sales from May to June on certain destinations, over the same period last year. The decline ranges from 20 to 40%, being caused by the adopted austerity measures.
NATA member agencies launched this year the most specials in the history of Romanian tourism, for holidays in Romania, but also a variety of Early Booking offers for foreign destinations.
The Romanian tourists are invited to check www.anat.ro web-
NATA warns that these offers are available exclusively through NATA members.
