The story of OMD Tulcea
DMOs (Destination Management Organizations) are structures that operate successfully throughout Europe and respond to today's tourism marketing needs. All factors interested in the development of tourism can sit at the same table, decisions are made in a transparent way, and development or promotion strategies are established by mutual agreement. Everything, under the coordination of a professional in the field and through the work of a team dedicated to capitalizing on the existing tourist potential.

Obtaining legal advice
On December 29, 2023, the documentation related to the Tulcea Municipality Tourist Destination Management Organization received favorable approval from the Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship and Tourism.
Thus, at the national level, the OMD Municipality of Tulcea held approval number 20, becoming the first OMD established in Tulcea county and the fifth in Dobrogea, after the local OMDs in Constanța-Mamaia, Mangalia, Mamaia Nord Resort and the county one.
Obtaining this legal opinion came only two months after the organization of the first meeting with economic agents from the municipality and the county, an introductory meeting. Later, until the submission of the file, they organized two more meetings with local tourism entrepreneurs who expressed their desire to become founding members.
