"We visit Moldova at least three times per year, on Day of wine. Then we come with our partners to show the country. Moldova has lots of ancient monasteries which makes the country interesting", said Przemyslaw Mlodzinski, a tourist from Poland.
It's international conference, religious holidays and other major national holidays which make Moldova's hotel rooms are more demanded. Roughly 30,000 foreign tourists were attracted on these occasions last year.
"Moldova's hospitality industry is growing definitely. But we only have around 8200 hotel rooms in the country which make it impossible for 10,000 tourists coming", said Stanislav Rusu, president of Hotel Association.
Most tourists visiting Moldova are from Romania, Ukraine, Russia, United States, Italy and Turkey.
