Our main activity is to develop the hostelling idea in Romania, increase the number of individual members, young people who will use hostels in our country or abroad, increase the number of hostels and improve the hostel managers' skills: how they have to operate,who are their clients and how they can offer better services.
1. Mass media
- National TV made an interview in Vila Helga in Bucharest
- Local TV made interviews with the Secretary General on two bigger projects
- Local commercial radios periodically make interviews with the Secretary General
- National tourism newspaper publishes reports about our activities on a regular basis
- Local newspapers in Cluj-Napoca made several interviews about different current projects
- We invite journalists to YHR as honourable members
2. For our individual members we offer discounts in our network
- we have a database with our members' name, address, and expiry date of their youth hostel cards
(international or national)
- we send them our YHR newsletter every three months
- we send them additional information (e.g. a news update)
3. For our hostel members we offer promotional oportunities by means of:
- image campaign
- our leaflet and newsletter
- travel fairs in association with the Tourism Ministry, wherever they go in the country or abroad
- HI promotional materials
- international presentations, conferences and other channels
- fairs (our first individual presence at the ONG-fair organised in Bucharest during 13-15 September 2000)
- travel fair (shared activity with others or just participation in discussions)
4. Volunteers - we have started to build up a team of voluntears, who help us to spread the hostelling idea
on a local basis – we have such volunteers in the 15 main cities of the country
5. International cooperation – In past years of our activities we had very good contacts with DJH, and
some of Eastern European countries. This year we succesfully started a cooperation with FUAJ, YHA and
OEJHV – in this aspect the presence at the 2000 –Conference was a great opportunity.
6. Advocacy – we work to improve the legal possibilities offered in our country for those who operate
youth hostels.
