Social Media Influencers to Promote Romanian Tourism

Romanian Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Tourism hires influencers to promote Romania on social media. This project aims to promote Romania as a proper destination for foreign tourists, suitable for a city break vacation.

The Electronic Public Procurement System states that promoting city-break trips is the primary goal of Romanian tourism publicity on social media.

Through the eyes of the influencers, the Romanian Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Tourism hopes to promote tourism in Romania. Up to July 28, the Ministry anticipates receiving fantastic and original proposals from social media influencers.

Promoting something in a more lively and relatable manner is very important nowadays, so influencers are a powerful tool indeed because this way, we can reach a larger audience that may become interested in travelling to Romania.

The selection process for 2022 contest will take place in September and October and will concentrate on three different categories of influencers: micro-influencers, who have fewer than 100,000 followers, macro-influencers, who have between 100,000 and 1 million followers, and mega-influencers, who have more than 1 million.

Romania’s Wild Bison Returns

Wild bison have been absent from Romanian lands for about 200 years. The British publication The Guardian dedicates an article to the return of Romania’s large animal, immortalizing the bison’s magnificence in breathtaking photographs taken on Romanian territory.

The Guardian writes that after being extinct in the wild, European bison were reintroduced to Poland in 1954 and Romania in 2012.

In search of Europe’s largest land animal, photographer Alexander Turner and rangers from the Foundation Conservation Carpathia (FCC) travelled. One of three projects being carried out by the FCC to reintroduce bison to Romania’s Carpathians is in the Fagaras Mountains.

The reintroduction of bison is not only a matter of repairing past environmental mistakes or a case of modern biodiversity conservation, but it is also an excellent example of how nature conservation can help local communities thrive by developing ecotourism programmes.

According to Valahia News, about half of the Carpathian Mountains are located in Romania. Little habitat fragmentation allows bison to find places to eat, rest, and move long distances. The highest range in the southern Carpathians, the Fagaras Mountains, contain vast tracts of territory that the FCC hopes to rewild.

Universal Day of Romanian Blouse

0

Every year on June 24, people worldwide observe the Universal Day of Romanian Blouse. It emphasizes the feminine shirt with stunning needlework that serves as a sign of Romanian tradition.

The major component of the folk costume, known as the „IA” or Romanian blouse, is brought to the public’s notice on June 24. The Romanian blouse was made from a single piece of linen, hemp, cotton, or silk and embellished with beads, sequins, gold thread, or stitches that represented stylized, geometric, or natural shapes. It is a particularly admired clothing item outside of the country due to the chromatic harmony, the coseams’ complexity, and the materials’ finenessThe campaign to add the well-known garment to the UNESCO World Heritage List culminated in the creation of the Universal Day of Romanian Blouse.

Interesting facts about the traditional Romanian blouse

The traditional Romanian blouse was regarded as a sacred piece of clothing that accompanied the woman throughout her life and was worn during celebrations, events, or every day. The purpose of the meticulously sewed magic emblem in the past was to shield the bearer from bad luck, charms, and evil spirits. The young women learned the technique of folkcraft from their grandmothers or mothers, as well as the correct prayers, which had to be recited before commencing the spinning of wool, weaving, or thread weaving.

The Romanian blouse’s dimensions are precisely calculated by the craftsman, and the placement of each embroidery is precisely specified. Romanian women infuse their conception with a portion of their feminine perfectionist nature, aspirations for beauty, goodness, happiness, and love.

Traditional designs, which turn a seemingly ordinary blouse into a great work of art, are rich in symbolism. The Romanian blouse conveys a tale regardless of the geographical place from which it originates.

WhatsApp New Version

After debuting the reverse version last year, WhatsApp has announced the ability to transfer chats from Android to iPhone.

The new feature, which is still in development, allows users to transfer chats from an Android phone to an iPhone when they switch phones.

WhatsApp does this by using Apple’s Move to iOS feature, which allows users to copy contacts, appointments, SMS, and other data from Android to iPhone.

Only when you first set up an iPhone can you migrate your WhatsApp conversations; to do so, select the „Move data from Android” option and then follow the on-screen instructions.

After the user goes on to WhatsApp with the same phone number he used on Android, the conversations will appear automatically.

WhatsApp’s technique can only be utilized after purchasing a new iPhone or after resetting it, because the configuration process, which contains the Move to iOS option, can only be accessed then.

The transfer requires Android 5 (or later) and iOS 15.5 (or later).

Data movement between the two competing platforms has always been a challenge, and not just for WhatsApp. It’s simple to transfer data between Android and iPhones, but not between the two platforms.

Emmanuel Macron: For France, Romania is not a country like any other

In June 15, French President Emmanuel Macron declared at the Mihail Kogalniceanu Base that Romania had demonstrated that it was „ready to the responsibility” and that it could count on France’s „fraternity.” He announced that the number of French soldiers in Romania will increase.

Romania is not for France a country like any other. The alliance between our countries is based on a two-century friendship. We have mentioned this together several times. In the face of serious crises that threatened its security, Romania was able to count on the fraternity of France.

Emmanuel Macron, France President

Macron praised not only the two countries’ cooperation but also the Romanian army’s professionalism.

Because a bilateral advance is wanted, we are working on an ambitious plan to support the Romanian Naval Forces at the request of the Romanian authorities. The line ministers were able to debate and establish a framework agreement.

The NATO device in Romania will be supplemented, according to the French president.

Emmanuel Macron spoke of Romania and France sharing a „shared perspective” on the region’s major foreign policy concerns. He stated that „we want the matter to move” and that „France is with Romania” in regards to Romania’s Schengen membership.
