On the other hand, the intern tourism shows a index growth. “There already are some tendencies that present the citizens of the Republic of Moldova will visit important tourist places. They will visit monasteries that in the last period opened their gates for local and foreign tourists. The most visited places are Orheiul Vechi with five agro tourist pensions and supplementary we can observe a tendency of rural tourism development. New agro tourist pensions are being opened – for example, Hangan Pension from Tapova village (Rezina), that is ready to house the first tourists”, mentioned Nicolae Platon. He states that once of the tourist pension’s network is developing it is not excluded that the prices will diminish.” If the concurrence is higher, the smaller is the price on the market.

Nicolae Platon mentioned that the local hotels already make deals with the tourist agencies and offer prices with a discount of 30%. Moldavian hotels of three stars offer prices from 22-27 USD for one person in a double room with included breakfast and the administrators of the four stars hotels offer prices of 80 euros for one day for a room comparing to the present 120 and 160 euros at present.
