Tourism Fairs: For or Against?
I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say
it again: I’ve got a bone to pick with mass tourism because it turns experiences
that could be special and intrepid on their own into some corny events.
However, I would recommend a visit to a
tourism fair to all of you. Why? Well, mainly because there are other ‘secrets’
on offer besides those 7-day packages in luxury resorts. There are people
representing certain regions of specific countries and you can never go wrong
with local-oriented tourism! Last week, I visited Transylvania Tourism Fair and
this is what I didn’t know but found out there:
a)
Transfăgărăşan Highway (a.k.a. ‘the best
road in the world’) will soon be accessible year-round and illuminated – just think about those views in winter if
the ones in summer leave you short of breath;
b)
There is a thriving wine region near Satu Mare; the wineries there organise tastings and tours upon prior booking – I had no idea about this wine region and
they even have Syrah grapes;
c)
There are many theme tours organised/proposed
around Romania and a very unique one is the tour of traditional Székely gates –
well, that’s original with a twist;
d)
I have a kayak course coming up at the end
of May in Nehoiu Mountains and this area around Buzăului Mountains has been
scarcely promoted – it seems though that the region (Ţara Buzaielor) is
catching up as it had the best presentation brochures at this tourism fair,
with intriguing trekking routes and
attractions.
I really felt that I left the fair with much
more useful information on my hands. And I’ve passed it on to you!
Thanks for your grateful informations, am working in Tourism Portal, so it will be helpful info for my works.
