The local councilors of Mangalia, gathered during an ordinary meeting on Thursday, adopted the draft decision initiated by the mayor Radu Cristian, which aims, for the second consecutive year, to suspend the payment of the parking fee in the city and Saturn tourist resorts, Venus, Cape Aurora, Jupiter and Neptune-Olympus, except in certain areas. According to the new administrative act, tourists who choose Mangalia as their holiday destination and the surrounding resorts will pay the parking fee, during the current summer season, only in the following locations: "Portul Turistic", "Cordonul Saturn-Venus" and the area "La Steaguri"
In these areas, the rate will be 3 lei/hour for parking lots in Mangalia and 5 lei/hour for those in resorts, with daily rates of 15 lei for parking spaces in the city and 20 lei for parking in resorts on the southern coast. "We have maintained free parking in order to attract as many tourists as possible to come on vacation to the southern resorts, but we have maintained the rates in several areas designated for parking, in order to avoid overcrowding and traffic jams in these locations. In recent years, we have attracted European funds for the development of the Mangalia cliffs and the "La Steaguri" area , as well as the old center of Mangalia. Recently, we have completed the modernization works of the Saturn, Neptun-Olimp resorts, we have rehabilitated the street lighting in the city and resorts and we have redeveloped the green spaces, our resorts being noted by tourists precisely for their generous and attractive green areas. "We are currently working on rehabilitating the cliff in Cap-Aurora and we will continue to modernize the other resorts to stimulate tourists to come to the seaside in as many numbers as possible," said the mayor of Mangalia, Radu Cristian.
