260.000 participants registered in the last 4 days at the Neversea Festival, organized between July 07-10, 2022, on Modern Beach in Constanta . Most of them were looking for cheap accommodation alternatives, so apartments and houses in the city of Constanta were the favorites of young people.
"The Neversea Festival had a positive impact especially in Constanta, in the Peninsular Area, where economic agents, members of the Mamaia -Constanta Employers' Organization , felt an increased flow of customers in the 4 days in which the event was organized. On the other hand, however, hoteliers in the Mamaia resort did not feel a significant increase in the influx of tourists. Participants in the Neversea Festival choose to rent apartments in the event area and are predominantly young. In fact, Neversea attracts increasingly younger young people to the destination and fewer people with travel budgets. However, the Neversea Festival remains a very important event in Constanta and highlights the need for the destination to have more events in the Mamaia resort, created for the family tourist profile ," says Anca Nedea-Pavel, executive director of OPMCTA.
Many of the OPMCTA members who have hotels in Mamaia say they had rooms booked by Romanian tourists, families with children, over the weekend that just ended. During the same period, hoteliers in the resort also accommodated guests from Italy, Great Britain, the United States of America , Hungary and France, but their percentage was less than 5%.
