Romanians are increasingly choosing caravan vacations. The country ranks 13th in Europe for caravan count, and a camping day costs much less than a hotel room.

According to a ProTV report, Romania has risen to 13th place in Europe in terms of the number of caravans. This indicates a growing popularity of road trip holidays among Romanians.

Analysts also compared costs: a day in a campsite with a personal caravan is significantly cheaper than a hotel room. This price gap likely fuels interest in motorhomes.

The increase in caravan numbers and the economic advantage make this vacation format more appealing for Romanian families.
