#Mayors for Economic Growth

Ungheni has a tourist centre worth 3 million lei, but accommodation capacity has dropped to a third of its 2008 level

The Tourist Information Centre in Ungheni — built with almost 3 million lei under the European «Mayors for Economic Growth» programme — hosted expert Alberto Cottica on Thursday in a meeting described as an «exchange of ideas», with no concrete purpose announced. Beyond the visit, the figures show the real stakes: the centre promotes tourism, but the district's accommodation capacity has fallen to a third of its 2008 level, while the programme that funded it has meanwhile entered its third phase.
