Romanian to promote Bucovina region by walking from Vienna

One of the advisers of Romanian democrat liberal Gheorghe Flutur, president of the Suceava County Council, northeastern Romania, will walk the distance between Vienna, Austria, and Suceava to promote the tourism project "Pilgrim in Bucovina", financed with European funds. Flutur said Tuesday, after a meeting with tourism association representatives, that this year, Bucovina, a region in northeastern Romania, will be promoted as tourist destination. He added that tourism offers will be launched at the tourism fairs to take place in Vienna, Turin, Munich, Paris and New York, where the projects "Easter in Bucovina", "Bucovina's Round Dance" and "Pilgrim in Bucovina" will be presented. According to Flutur, the latter project will be promoted by one of his advisers, Neculai Barba, who will walk the distance between Vienna and Suceava. Flutur said the resort Gura Humorului will host a "pilgrimage center" for tourists who want to visit Bucovina. He added that the Suceava County Council wants to take over the administration of the railway line linking Vama to Moldovita to introduce a steam locomotive for tourists. Mediafax
