Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), a political party, has proposed further development of the gambling-tourism integration in Romania.
Signed by 37 of its right-wing MPs, the party argued that the current positioning of gambling establishments on national territory lacks “economic logic” and fails to correctly capitalize on the potential of its correlation with the tourism sector for economic gains.
AUR’s draft regulatory proposal seeks to amend Romania’s Gambling Act in a feasible way that strategically ties in the gambling sector with the 56 officially recognized tourist resorts across the country.
In particular, AUR wants to tie in gambling regulations directly with the national tourism development strategy that it argues will lead to a boom in integrated tourism destinations on the principle of “balanced territorial development”.
