What does Constanța and Romania gain from this contest?
I have said or written before, but I will leave here once again, small details. This sport attracts practitioners from all over the world. People who travel in search of wind even if it is not the tourist season. In other words, Constanța can become in season and off-season the destination in Europe that can attract hundreds of athletes/tourists. With such events, the destination of Constanța and Mamaia can grow.
