What it means for the destination
Reform 1 of the PNRR tourism component targets destinations that have a destination management organization: public investment in tourism infrastructure goes hand in hand with a body that plans the destination's development and promotes it. Cheia Măneciu DMO, approved by the ministry responsible for tourism under approval no. 23 of 24.10.2024, is that body for Cheia – Măneciu, and this portal, the information totems and the virtual tour are its promotion tools.
