Romania’s vibrant tourism scene is increasingly shaped by the rise of short-term rentals, known locally as închirieri pe termen scurt or cazări temporare. Popular destinations like Bucharest, Brasov, and Cluj-Napoca have seen a surge in visitors seeking unique and flexible accommodation options that go beyond traditional hotels. In 2023, short-term rentals significantly contributed to the local economy, with the Romanian government generating substantial income from this growing sector. Platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com dominate the market, offering a wide range of properties that cater to diverse traveler needs. The impact of this trend is evident in the boost to local businesses and the increased visibility of Romania as a top European destination.
