In the case of vacations abroad, the respondents rather prefer European destinations, especially Greece, Spain and Italy, and over three quarters of those surveyed mention seaside resorts.
The results of the specialized study reveal the fact that, if they had 100,000 euros, most Romanians (46%) would prefer to invest it in a holiday apartment in Romania, to a significantly greater extent mature people, aged between 35 and 44 (53%).
In the top of preferences, investing in a business takes the second place (40%), and traveling takes the third place (24%), being preferred to a significantly greater extent by women compared to men (29% vs 20%).
