"The financing will aim at carrying out some tourist infrastructure projects in mountain areas such as Parang for ski slopes or mountain rescue points. A sum will be invested in the tourist infrastructure of the future resort of Petrosani. The total investments amount to over 65 million euros," said Stefan Lungu.
The budget the Ministry of Tourism will use for promotion amounts to ten million euros, "much lower than the sums given to the other states in the region," according to the representative of the institution mentioned before.
