In order to overcome these difficulties, the County Council, the local councils and several county institutions invest more and more in modernising the existing infrastructure and creating new infrastructure, their representatives participate at and organise business missions, meetings and conferences to attract foreign investors and stimulate local investors, try to overcome seasonality by building facilities for winter sports – ski tracks and skating rinks (the skating rink in Tîrgu Mure_ was modernised and re-opened in 2004). In the next 4-5 years the County Council intends to build a European level sports facility, corresponding to Olympic standards and the project was already begun. We also promote and provide education and training for those involved in tourism and have begun to structure the cultural activity by covering the calendar year with cultural events and offering them as a package.
