Tourism: Sibiu, promoted in five European countries
Sibiu, the only city in Romania with three Michelin stars, the best possible quote offered by this guide, will be promoted in 2020 at tourism fairs in five European countries: Austria, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, according to the County Tourism Association (AJTS).
Sibiu County, considered the third travel destination in Romania for foreign tourists in 2019, was already present at the tourism fair in Amsterdam (January 10-11) and is due to attend the London fair (January 30 - February 2), where destinations for ecotourism will be promoted within the Discover Eco-Romania campaign.
"This spring, the region and its destinations for ecotourism, the Transylvanian Hills and the Marginimea Sibiului [ethnographic area west of Sibiu], are promoted through the Discover Eco-Romania campaign at the tourism fairs in Amsterdam (January 10-11) and London (January 30 - February 2). The UNESCO Biertan site is the image-symbol of the campaign carried out on the Dutch market to promote beautiful cultural landscapes with churches and fortresses in Transylvania," said the AJTS press release.
According to the quoted source, Sibiu will be promoted at the tourism fair in Madrid (January 22-26) and Berlin (March 4-8).
In 2020, Sibiu was nominated to compete for the title of the best European tourist destination. The competition runs from January 15 to February 5. The people of Sibiu and those who love the city are invited to vote on http://vote.ebdest.in/. You can vote from an IP address every seven days, therefore you can vote four times during this period, thus increasing the chances of Sibiu.
Sibiu will compete against well-known tourist destinations such as Vienna, Athens, Rotterdam, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Madrid, Prague or Reykjavik.
"By participating in this competition, Sibiu will stand a huge chance of growing in visibility, as the nominees are promoted by organisers in renowned publications in the tourism industry such as Vogue, Forbes, Huffpost, Daily Mail, Trip Adviser, Euro News, Lonely Planet, Independent, El Mundo, China Daily, Rue 89, Figaro Live, Travel + Leisure, Courrier International. I invite all those who love Sibiu to vote and to encourage Sibiu as a European tourist destination," says Sibiu Mayor Astrid Fodor.
The destinations promoted by this platform enjoy a number of over 5 million visitors to the website and over 90,000 people who follow the platform's publications on social media.
