NAVIGATING THE AMBROSIA ALLERGIES IN ROMANIA

Over half a million Romanians are affected by ambrosia allergies due to its toxic and highly allergenic properties, experiencing symptoms like red eyes, runny nose, and insomnia.

These allergies significantly diminish sufferers' quality of life, persisting for at least two months annually, from mid-August to mid-October. The situation has worsened in recent years due to global warming, with ambrosia allergies appearing early in July.

And that’s not all.
THERE IS NO LEGAL PROTECTION FOR THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM AMBROSIA ALLERGIES
Unfortunately, until the uncontrolled expansion of ambrosia is regulated in Romania to reduce and control it, as in most of Europe's countries, hundreds of lands will still be covered. Thus, the only efficient remedy for Romanians suffering from this condition is to stay as far away from ambrosia as possible until the law will punish people for not removing ambrosia from their lands.

So, how could a travel agency turn these dark stats into an opportunity?

Vola, as a top destination search engine in a highly competitive market, needed to expand its audience and stand out from other travel options. Moreover, we knew that Vola provides travel packages for European areas untouched by ambrosia.
