NIBIRU officially opens its doors today, July 16, and kicks off summer on the Romanian coast . After two years of preparations, Romania 's newest resort launches its first season. There are 46 days of experiences and festivals, plus over 30 shops and restaurants. The line-up includes over 200 artists and 150 events for all generations. The program answers one of the most frequent questions of tourists: What do we do at the beach in the evening?
During the press conference dedicated to the inauguration of the resort, Andrei Șelaru (Selly), CEO and co-founder of NIBIRU, stated: "Today we are inaugurating a project that, five years ago, was an ambitious idea, and in the last two years it has become a vision for which we have actively worked: that the Romanian seaside deserves a new generation of experiences . From now on, after a day at the beach, you have a place where you can continue the day and where you always find something to do.
NIBIRU is a place built for all generations, where you can come for a festival, for a concert, for a family evening or simply to walk on the promenade. We want people to discover that Romania can deliver entertainment experiences at international standards and to transform Costinesti into a destination that tourists want to visit every summer.”
