ROMANIA

What is Romania ? Romania is a country located at the intersection of Central and Southeastern Europe, bordering on the Black Sea. Romania shares a border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and Moldova to the northeast and east, and Bulgaria to the south.

Etymology The România derives from the Latin romanus, meaning "citizen of Rome". The first known use of the appellation was by 16 thcentury Italian humanists travelling in Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia.

� The Carpathian Mountains dominate the centre of Romania, with 14 mountain ranges reaching above 2, 000 m, and the highest point at Moldoveanu Peak. Romania's geographical diversity has led to an accompanying diversity of flora and fauna.

Climate �Owing to its distance from the open sea and position on the southeastern portion of the European continent, Romania has a climate that is temperate and continental, with four distinct seasons. The average annual temperature is 11 °C in the south and 8 °C in the north.

Natural environment A high percentage of the country is covered with natural and semi-natural ecosystems. The integrity of Romanian forest ecosystems is indicated by the presence of the full range of European forest fauna. There also almost 400 unique species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians in Romania.

Tourism focuses on the country's natural landscapes and its rich history and is a significant contributor to the Romanian economy. Tourism is one of the most dynamic and fastest developing sectors of the economy of Romania and is characterized by a huge potential for development.
