Mangalia unveils Riviera Mangalia brand and Neptun Arena events

The Destination Management Organization of Mangalia (OMD Mangalia) has introduced a new tourism identity, "Riviera Mangalia," with the motto "Riviera din Inima Mea." The initiative covers the seven resorts of the area – Mangalia, Saturn, Venus, Cap Aurora, Jupiter, Neptun and Olimp – and centres on the newly built Neptun Arena, a venue for concerts, children’s shows, gastronomic festivals and other summer entertainment. About 60,000 visitors attended events at Neptun Arena during the season, and the project highlights more than 500,000 m² of beaches, 40,000 accommodation places across 120 hotels, and numerous cultural and recreational attractions.

In an interview, Vice‑Mayor Paul Foleanu said that, after a rainy start to June, occupancy in July reached 85‑100 % across the resorts, with Neptun now bustling after a period of decline. He noted that individual businesses and OMD Mangalia run weekly entertainment programmes to keep tourists returning, and he hinted at the possible revival of the historic Callatis Festival to further boost the destination.
