1,000 hotel rooms internationally affiliated to launch between 2024-2028

Constanta, one of Romania’s main touristic destinations, continues to attract the interest of hotel investors and operators, but still flies under the radar, as compared with other regions.

Based on the supply of hotel rooms, Constanta city (including Mamaia) can attract demand for medium quality hotels and services. This trend is about to change in the next 3-4 years due to economic shifts in the area (NATO military base and Schengen space for Constanta port). The new highway (Constanta – Olimp) connecting with the southern part of the seaside is also expected to bring new opportunities for tourism developments.
