Bucharest hotels 'are popular'
Hotels in Bucharest are in high demand and have shown their fastest growth in occupancy rates.
On the new hotel benchmark survey released by Deloitte, hotels in the Romanian capital saw an occupancy rate of 74.6% in the first half of the year, up 13.1% when compared with the same period last year, reports zf.ro.
It has left other cities in its wake, such as London and Moscow and is above the European average of 67.1%, the publication stated.
A spokesperson for the Marriot hotel in Bucharest said that a number of factors have contributed to these figures.
General manager at the company Kurt Strohmayer stated that by joining the European Union (EU), the country has seen great benefits.
"The impact of the accession to the EU, along with the expansion operations foreign companies are carrying out in Romania, has led to an increase in the occupancy rate in the capital," he told the paper.
