Heads up, travelers! Romania's hospitality scene is about to get a little more expensive. The government is planning to hike the Value Added Tax (VAT) for hotels, restaurants, and similar services, potentially impacting your travel budget.
Get ready for a jump from 9% to 19% – this means your Romanian adventure might cost a bit more. This could lead to a dip in tourist spending, so it's worth factoring in when planning your trip.
Thinking of a relaxing week in Eforie Nord? That 3-star hotel stay could see a price increase of around 150 lei (that's about 30 euros!), all thanks to the VAT bump.
And it's not just hotels. Your dining experiences will also feel the pinch. Meals at restaurants and fast-food joints will become pricier, influencing the overall cost of your Romanian getaway. Plan accordingly and enjoy the beauty of Romania!
