: Romanian royal history is not as well known as
: the French kings of the Valois dynasty or
: the Bourbons, Ludwig II of Bavaria and Franz
: Joseph and Elisabeth of Austria all attract
: international attention. If the Royals were
: to be used to draw visitors to the country
: there could be a benefit.

: That depends on the role given to they Royal
: House. Royal history does boost tourist
: numbers in other Republics like.
:
:
: I agree that people may be attracted to
: royal history - I know I am having visited
: lots of places regarding to royals - The
: Loire Valley châteaux, Ludwig of Bavaria's
: castles, Windsor, Buckingham and Holyrood,
: the Monaco Palace, f.i., but who would go to
: France, Germany, Italy, Austria or Russia
: expecting to see the local RF's on the same
: basis one expects to see the Windsors or the
: Grimaldis ?
:
: I can't see what an unglamorous ageing RF
: can do for the tourism of the country.
: A few gatherings mainly for family, that's
: what they've been doing so far.
: Besides, apart from the crown-princess, the
: other sisters don't seem to play a very
: active role.
:
: And then there was the strange "move
: away" to Nicholas...

: hardly known abroad by the general public?
: Do you really believe that the decision on
: the draft law has anything to do with giving
: a boost to tourism?

: Of
: course, one could asks whether and why
: Romania has spare cash to spend on a royal
: family when it is a republic.
:
: Royals are good for tourism, (just ask the
: UK). If they are bringing money in, it makes
: sense. Also helps spruce up the national
: image which to many is just the "Land
: of Dracula"
