The Destination Management Organization (DMO) Mamaia Constanța participated today in the event "Constanța, the destination of the future", organized by Antena 3 CNN, with the support of the City Hall of Constanța, the County Council of Constanța and the Casino of Constanța. The event took place in a space with strong symbolic value, the restored Casino , which has become a heritage landmark and a strategic platform for the development of tourism, culture and innovation in the city.
Under the umbrella of the " Smart Romania " platform, the conference brought together representatives of local and central administration, business leaders, academics, architects, entrepreneurs and experts, in an open dialogue about the future of Constanța as a tourist, creative and entrepreneurial destination.
"OMD Mamaia Constanța came here with a clear mission: to put Constanța on the European tourism map 365 days a year. We are no longer talking just about summer, but about a complete calendar, connected to culture, events, tech and active tourism. In 2025 and 2026, you will see a spectacular leap. 'Constanța, the destination of the future' is more than a slogan, it is a concrete commitment for long-term development. We are thinking about creating an integrated digital platform to promote the destination, but also a content and storytelling strategy that will show the world what Constanța can do: from historical heritage to the new wave of artists and entrepreneurs. The casino is no longer just a historical building. It is an active symbol of the city's reconfiguration, a center of ideas, dialogue and projects", declared George Măndilă , President of OMD Mamaia Constanța.
Topics that were addressed during the conference:
- Sustainable tourism at Black Sea — How can we transform Romanian seaside into a competitive destination at European level, through smart investments and partnerships?
- Culture as an economic engine — Capitalizing on the cultural heritage of Constanta (Casino, archaeological sites, museum spaces, festivals) to attract investments and tourists.
- Innovation and digitalization in business — How local SMEs can integrate modern technologies to optimize their operations and expand their market presence.
- Sustainability and green economy — Eco-friendly practices in tourism and industry, including waste management and the use of renewable energy.
- Entrepreneurial education and talent retention — How can we keep young people in the region and develop local leadership?
- Effective and accessible brand strategies — Repositioning established brands and adapting messages to new realities.
By actively participating in the "Constanța, the destination of the future" conference, OMD reaffirmed its commitment to transform Mamaia resort and the city of Constanța into a 365-day tourist space, connected to technology, entrepreneurship and cultural identity. The announced projects include the development of an integrated digital promotion platform, supporting partnerships for innovation hubs and events that capitalize on the historical and creative heritage of the area.
OMD Mamaia Constanța not only promotes the destination, but actively repositions it, through strategies adapted to the current economic and social context. The future of Constanța is not just an ideal, it is an ongoing plan.
