Three out of ten Romanians living in urban areas plan to give up on their holiday this year, while an extra 16 percent will reduce their holiday budget, according to a recent study by 360insight, quoted by Mediafax newswire. Elders and those will low income or those unemployed were among those having said they would give up on the summer holiday, similarly to those whose salaries have been cut.
