Romania recommended for holidaymakers
The region of Transylvania is likely to attract some of the world's more adventurous tourists this year, according to the Independent.
Although this area of Romania remains most famous for being the home of Count Dracula, the newspaper found that it also has much to offer holidaymakers who enjoy heading off the beaten track.
Visitors to Transylvania will find a "beautiful, unspoilt landscape", spectacular medieval castles and affordable ski resorts.
Indeed, the variety of attractions on offer in Transylvania caused the Independent to conclude that "this complex and exciting region makes a superb holiday destination".
Visitors to Transylvania may find themselves captivated by their surroundings to the extent that they purchase a property in the region, as Prince Charles reportedly did.
The prince is said to own a house in the village of Viscri and makes regular visits to the area.
Traian Badulescu of Romanian tourist association ANAT recently said that the country's tourism sector is expected to continue its "upward path" in 2009.
