Radu Barb, the director of the Economic-Social Development Agency of Hunedoara County believes that 2018 will be the best year for the tourism industry: “Entrepreneurs together with the County Council and the town halls of Hunedoara County understood that tourism is the countys main engine of growth and development. Our tourist landmarks can be visited by many tourists. 2017 confirmed this. We say the offer is a generous one, including two Dacian capitals, the Hunyadi Castle, the Deva Fortress, the mountain resorts of Straja, Parâng, Râuşor and Geoagiu. I think that visitors to Romania, who would like to get to know the country, should also visit Hunedoara. There is also a rich event schedule. It is available on our website, hunedoaraturism.ro and hunedoaraturism.com. Both versions are functional. Youll also find detailed information on Dac Fest, the national holiday in Ţebea, on the Hunedoara Lirică festival, and on all most appreciated events. You will also find information on local events.

Gabriel Enache, the guide of the Cluj County Councils National Tourist Information and Promotion Centre takes us to the heart of Romania, in Transylvania: “In 2018, Cluj provides many opportunities for tourists to discover traditions and landscapes, to attend modern, traditional and classical music festivals, depending on what everyone wants to see or hear. The Apuseni Mountains lie in the western part of the county, where tourists can visit important monuments of the Romanian and Hungarian communities. South of the county, one can go to Cheile Turzii (Turda Gorges), Feleacu, the Turda salt mine and the town of the same name. Turda is more than the well known salt mine, as it boasts a 2,000 year long history, which can be discovered in the towns History Museum. Following the north-east route, one can reach Nicula, the most important Orthodox monastery in Transylvania, where the tradition of icons painted on glass is still preserved. The city hall of Cluj Napoca is the centre of this universe. It is here that Romanians, Jews, Germans and, more recently, other ethnic groups are coexisting peacefully. The town has also become a pole of the IT industry.
