Situated on the left bank of the Danube river, with a „venerable” age of 638 years, Braila has always represented the place where water and land join in harmoniously and the sun pours its richness of light and warmth.

The geographical position is very generous both for the county and for the municipality, Braila being situated in the south-eastern part of the country, between the coordinates of 44° 44' and 45° 30' north latitude and 27° 04' and 28° 10' east longitude, on a surface of 4.766km2. In the Plain, Braila County occupies, in the north, a part of the Meadow of the Lower Siret , close to which the Baraganului Plain spreads, in the west, small parts of Salcioara Plain and Buzaului Plain, and in the east the Big Island of Braila. It can be said that the county is surrounded by the waters of some important rivers such as Siret, Buzau, together with the old river of the Danube that, splitting into two branches, make the Big Island of Braila.

There are 44 administrative-territorial units in Braila County, among which Braila municipality, 3 towns (Faurei, Ianca, Insuratei) with 11 localities and 40 communes 131 villages.

The population of the county, on the 18th of March 2002, was of 373.174 inhabitants, from which more than 66% were in the urban area (239. 108 inhabitants).

The administrative seat is Braila municipality, the last port on the Danube; it is situated 200 km north-east of Bucharest. Braila is located on 46o 16’ 17’’ north latitude and 27o 58’ 33’’ east longitude.


It is interesting to mention that Braila, due to its position and history, has always had a cosmopolite character, of cultural and ethnic mosaic, given by the presence of numerous ethnical communities on this land. Former Turkish raya for a period of more than three centuries, being in the way of the Russian, Austrian, Turkish, Romanian wars, Braila was destroyed and reborn out from its own ash many times.

The real flourishing of the town took place after the Adrianopolis Treaty in 1829, when Braila rejoined the mother country. During the second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century, Braila made remarkable progress, first of all economically. The cohabitation of Romanians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Russians, Armenians and Jews offered a picturesque note to this important port of the Danube, as a space of genuine European civilisation.

The Free Zone statute obtained in 1836 created good conditions for a very intensive transit trade, a great amount of Romanian and foreign goods being brought in Braila’s ware-houses, both for import and export. Due to its favorable position , Braila was last important seaport on the Danube where maritime ships could come. The city knew its golden period between 1836 and 1894, when it became a turn table in the international trade changes on the Lower Danube. History, as well as the commercial benefits, turned the city into a place where many nationalities met and lived together. A large number of Romanian and foreign merchants, English, French, Greek, Italians, Jews, Lippovans came to Braila, finding here the people and the space that helped them to keep their own religions and traditions.


At Braila some ‘premieres’ were recorded, such as: one of the first Romanian cities that used public lighting, reinforced concrete was used for the first time for building wharves and piers, the first electric plant was built only thirteen years after Edison’s invention, Braila was the first Romanian city to have electric trams. All these place Braila in the vanguard of the cities of the time.

From old times, Braila’s inhabitants have always had agriculture, breeding and fishing on the western bank of the Danube as main activities. A sailing ship. the symbol of Braila city , was also the symbol of the trade, the main activity of the inhabitants of this area. In 1836, Braila was declared “porto-franco”. Here were opened the first Chamber of Commercial Arbitration (1836), the Exchange of Goods and Cereals (1882), the Commercial Court and the Commercial Bank. Due to its economical boom, Braila became one of the most important commercial centres of Romania. The intensive trade and the industrial development during the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century marked Braila’s history. In 1911, year of maximum commercial activity, Braila’s trade represented 22% of the Romanian trade and 20% of import This development meant steam mills, pasta factory, shipyard (1864), beer factory (1872) and docks (1883). The first foreign investment in Braila was done in 1924 – the Franco-Romanian Company. Between 1941-1944, during the World War l, both the import and the export in Braila decreased, after the 12th General Congress of the Romanian Cities’ Union from 1937, when it was reached the apogee. Braila’s history will dramatically change between the two moments: the 23rd of August 1944 – the 22nd of December 1989.


Braila is not a museum – city, but its visitors can feel its magic, legends and history that are present everywhere. After 2000, the results of a too ambitious, unrightfully and disproportioned industrial development appeared. Many of the most important industrial units closed their doors partially or even totally. This fact led to the depreciation of the living level and the city’s development, more than in the rest of the country.

If the accent in the economical life had been put on the port for centuries, during the next period, after the Liberation, when the communist regime was installed, this accent was put on the industry: a strong one that will become established through the machines and equipments’ construction, ship building, chemical industry, ready-made clothes, food industry etc. Braila trade marks, as “Promex”, “Braiconf” have become well-known in the country and abroad, making the county to be placed on the 9th position in the country, according to its population and economy.

The climate is temperate-continental, slightly excessive in the west and moderate in the Siret Meadow and Braila’s Big Island. Being situated close to the Black Sea, Braila County has annual average temperatures of over 10oC (1.5oC higher then the rest of the plain). Annual rainfall is low (on average 4,651 l/sq m) and has a teeming character in summer.


The underground resources include liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons; loess deposits constitute the raw material for inferior ceramics. The water and mud of salty lakes have special therapeutic qualities, spas being built nearby, but only that of Lacu Sarat is functioning at present. In Insuratei town, a thermal sulphurous spring, with special therapeutic qualities, was properly fitted, having a flow rate of 280 cu m in 24 hours and an exit temperature of 60o. The plain is the predominant relief form, Braila’s landscape being rather monotonous and without any natural barriers.Although forests occupy only a small part of the area of the county (5.5%), most of them being meadow forests, Viisoara and Camnita forests have been declared reservations, the former for its 300 hectares which represent the relic of oak forests from the right bank of the Calmatui, and the latter, for its pure ash trees, spread on an area of 1.3 ha. The flora and fauna are characteristic to lowlands. The steppe, once stretching endlessly, was turned into farmland, Braila County being one of the most developed counties in Romania as concerns agriculture.

The tourist patrimony of Braila County comprises: historical, ethnographic and folkloric elements, Panait Istrati Memorial House, “Nicapetre” Cultural Centre (the former House of Art Collections), the Museums of the towns of Braila and Ianca, Blasova Creation Camp, the Art Galleries, ‘Pro Arts’ Hall, Braila Historical Centre, “Petre Stefanescu Goanga” Memorial House.

The main tourist areas are: Lacu Sarat resort, Braila’s Small Island, Blasova, Viisoara forest.The network of tourist establishments is made up of: 13 hotels, 3 motels and inns, 4 camping

facilities, 2 camps for pupils and preschoolers.


Braila’s Small Island, a real inland delta, stretching on an area of 15,000 ha, was declared a mixed natural

reservation of flora and fauna. The geographical conditions allow the co-existence of three types of vegetation, specific to

the swamp, to the forest and to the steppe.

.Lake Jirlau (8.9 sq km) is known as an ornithological sanctuary, a fact for which it was mentioned, together with the

Danube Delta and other habitats all over the country, on the list of those 2440 aquatic fauna areas of European importance

“Important bird areas in Europe” published in 1989 in England.

On Braila’s Big Island, created by the drainage

of Braila’s Swamp, one can see “Popina Blasova”, a

proof of the herzynisch erosion of the Dobruja

Mountains, acknowledged in 1994 as a natural

monument, where two species of milfoil with yellow

flowers and a species of bell flower grow, being

specific to the Dobruja Mountains.


Even if it is not in an area with a maximum tourist importance, Braila county offers many possibilities for active partnerships due to the natural resources, on one hand , and to the direct connection to the Danube, on the other hand.

Thus, there are considered as adequate:

► the extension and the modernization of the tourist structures in Lacu Sarat Resort ► giving the Caineni Bai resort, situated on the area of Visani commune, back to the tourist circuit; ► the integration in the tourist circuit of Movila Miresii Salt Lake, situated at 30 km away from Braila municipality,

close to the commune with the same name. ► the putting in good use of the thermal springs from the area of Insuratei town and Bertestii de Sus commune,

their water presenting therapeutical qualities similar to the ones from Herculane and Felix resorts.

Braila county has a special tourist potential that, if it is put in good use, may represent an important element of the

social-economical development of the county and of its contribution to the national tourism.


Related to the culture, Braila county has a network of specialized institutions. Thus, there are 215 libraries, 5 cultural houses, 101 cultural institutions, 7 cinemas, 2 theatres and a musical institution.

The most important part in Braila’s cultural life is played by “Maria Filotti” Dramatic Theatre, “Carabus” Puppet Theatre, the Vocational School and Braila History Museum , the last one having an impressive age of 125 years and an impressive collection of historical and archaeological objects and being considered one of the greatest cultural institutions from Romania.

“Maria Filotti Theatre is the most interesting cultural objective of the city. Built in the middle of the 19th century and renovated in the 80 ‘s, the building stands out of the others through its architectonical value and the artistic embroidery of the curtain, a real piece of art, considered unique in Europe, due to its style (beads and golden thread, representing the sun and the moon, the laughter and the crying).The visitors can also see the huge painted-window from the monumental hall of the building. On the other hand, the importance of this building was confirmed when the theatre was included in the UNESCO album, together with the most representative buildings in Europe, destined to the human spirituality.

On the memory of the well-known soprano, Hariclea Hartulary Darclée, beginning with August 1995, every year the International Canto Festival with her name has been taking place at Braila.

A great interest in the cultural life of Braila is presented by the “Panait Istrati Memorial Exhibition”, opened in 1984, with the occasion of the centenary of the famous writer’s birth, named “Gorki of the Balkans” by Romain Rolland.


The historical section of Braila Museum has a special fund of historical and archaeological collections,

through which there can be seen the bronze helmet discovered at Gavani –Braila, representing the traco-

getic culture.

At the House of Art Collections, among the 3000 pieces of plastic and decorative art, there can be

noticed works of a great value, made by Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, Theodor Pallady, Nicolae

Tonitza, Henry Catargi and others.

The monumental sculpture is represented by the Emperor Trajan’s bronze statue with stone and

marble bed-plate from the Saint Archangels’ Square and Ecaterina Teodoroiu’s statue also made of bronze.


The “Saint Archangels Mihail and Gavriil” Curch with an age of 250 years, is a Turkish pray house turned into an Orthodox Church, keeping its rectangular shape, reproducing the Mohammedan mecet’s type.That is why it is one of the rare European Orthodox churches without a derrick.

The Lippovan’s Metropolitan Church – the international centre of the old communion – is also in Braila municipality.

During the time, but especially between the two World Wars, many personalities of the Romanian and European civilisations were “born” in Braila’s schools, especially in “Nicolae Balcescu” National College: philosophers Nae Ionescu and Anton Dumitriu, geriatrician Ana Aslan, geologist Gh.M.Murgoci, cybernetics’ engineer Edmond Nicolau, writers Panait Istrati, Panait Cerna, Anton Bacalbasa, Mihail Sebastian, D.P.Perpessicius, Fănuş Neagu; lyrical artists Hariclea Hartulary Darclée, Petre Ştefănescu Goanga; actors Maria Filotti, Irina Răchiţeanu Sirianu, Ştefan Mihăilescu Brăila.


Taxation

The TAV is the same all over the country: 19%.The local taxes are pretty lower relative to other regions of the country and are negotiable for

the important investors who generate employment. There are only two kinds of local taxes: the tax on the land (if buying) and the tax on the buildings.

Investors

In Braila County there are about 300 companies with foreign capital, running mainly in the

textile and ready-made clothes industry but also in shipyard, furniture, constructions, machines

and equipment, consultancy.The foreign capital comes from Italy, Greece, Norway, France, Germany, United States

Regarding Italian investors, there are two important ready-made clothes factories: Mistral (Due

and Confezzioni) and Blazer.

Access

This area has accessible transport roads, Braila County being situated at the intersection of two European transport corridors – IV and IX. As concerns land transport we can mention the European roads E 60, E 577. Being situated on the left bank of the Danube, the county also benefits from the advantages of river navigation.

Braila County is linked to all the other regions of the country by roads and railways. The distance from Bucharest is 220 km measured on DN2B road. The railway to Bucharest has the same route and the distance is quite the same.


Agriculture and forestryAgriculture and forestry

The agriculture, being considered the main support of welfare and economic growth, and also of exports increasing, as

well as the guarantor of the population's food necessary, occupies through tradition an important place in Braila County

economy. Braila's agriculture also represents the main way of improvement the life standard from the rural environment.

Through its agricultural potential (the existence of the biggest agricultural surface in Romania, situated in Braila Great

Island, with a land surface of 60,000 ha, entirely irrigated, and a number of 120 thousand bovines, 400 thousand ovines, 300

thousand swines and 2,5 million fowls, at least)

Braila County offers multiple investment opportunities:

Breeding . The production valorization is favourable, both on the internal and external market; Modern but unused buildings, in the

field of porcine and cow breeding, are another facility offered to the potential investors.

Horticulture development, mainly the ecological one. The establishment and the development of gross market for the

horticultural products represent another investment opportunity.

Restructuring and development of fishing activities . On the territory of the county there are many lakes and ponds that could

be rearranged as piscicultural exploitations: the seed beds Maxineni and Jirlau, the fish ponds Movila Miresii, Plopu, Gradistea,

Vultureni, Zavoaia, Batogu, Chioibasesti, Coltea and Tataru.

Vegetables, fruits, milk and cereals processing activities and the establishment of a terminal for cereals. The predominant

agrarian character of the county makes some activities to be extremely profitable. Briquetting of the waste cereals (their transforming into

a fuel with high caloric power)


The creation of small stocking and processing capacities for fodders

The breeding of exotic or rare birds and animals (pheasants, quails, ostriches). The experience of the last

years proved that exotic animals and birds can represent a profitable business in Braila county.

Silkworm breeding . The activity is extremely profitable, our county having an important tradition in the field.

However, this fact supposes the re-establishment of mulberry plantations necessary in the silkworm breeding on the

existing salt soils.

Mushrooms cultures. This product in fresh state is not sufficient on the market; the demand being partially

covered, at high prices. That's why the construction of a mushroom farm is welcome.

Establishment of hot houses for vegetables and flowers. The valorization of the thermal springs and of other

thermal sources may have favourable results in this domain, as well as in possible tourist investments.

Situated in Insula Mare of Braila, Blasova Area admits the producing and development of additional activities: tourism, non polluting service, sports and pleasure and also the integration in the system of protection and following the flow of the Danube, from springs till the pouring out into the Black Sea. Braila County Council promotes this area in the national circuit as having a special tourist potential and great interest for the investors, aiming the sustainable development of the adjacent settlements and territories. Analyzing the conditions that the lake disposes of, we consider that it may be included in the economic and tourist circuit of Braila County, having the following purposes: fish breeding in natural environment; ► sports fishing; ► nautical pleasure; ► hunting.

The land will be divided in lots of 1000 square meters, which will not be granted, and from the due obtained from the grants payment, Braila County Council will retrieve the expenses made with the mentioned endowments

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The unicity of the proposed area consists in the natural beauty generated by the existence of a meandre lake with the specific flora and fauna. Although, Blasova lake and surroundings (Blasova hill) have natural potential for the developing of the fishing, hunting and nautical sports activities (especially canoeing). The project will answer to the following identified needs: - high degradation of the access road ; - old and low capacity urban infrastructure ; - lack of the arrangements and modern endowments for fishing and nautical sports . The projects idea is based on the fact that the surrounding area of the Zaton lake (684,87 hectares) has been passed in the public propriety of the Braila County Council by HG 2118/9.12.2004, so now is possible to rehabilitate the infrastructure.

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:Purpose: Increasing the number of local and foreign tourists, through the development and equilibration of the tourism infrastructure in Blasova resort area.Objectives:the development of the Braila touristic potential, based on the existent natural resources, through the environment conservation ;the development of the integrated complementary activities generated by the lake area (tourism, unpolluting services, sports and recreation ) ;employment, improvement and diversification of the labor on specific domains;achieving of the generating profit centers in order to contribute for the ulterior development ; integration in the protection and monitoring system for the Danube course from the mint through the flowing into the Black Sea.achievement of the access infrastructure and the of the utilities network (access roads 9 km, ) on the route DC 59, access roads in the interior of the resort, alleys, water supply system, sewage, electrical power, communicationsputting of the fishing pontoons; -landing fittings;-camping platform arranging and recreation area.

The development of the tourist danubian potential in the area

Braila – Galati - Tulcea

The project intends to work out a problem, grasped by most people that visited Braila, which is the lack of

some endowments specific for the passing and pleasure tourism that should emphasize the tourist potential of

Braila- Galati- Tulcea area.

The purpose of this project is the establishment, through a collective action for the three involved counties:

Braila, Galati and Tulcea, of a chain of motels placed near the Danube River, with direct access from the Danube

and the possibility of passing in Ukraine. The motels are to be placed so that they can be reached to, using one

of the main roads from the three counties.

The proposed objectives occupy a surface of 1,2 ha (the built spaces occupy 1200 square meters and the

arranged spaces 10.800 square meters) and have an average capacity of 40-45 accommodations, with rooms of

2-3 beds, public food services and arrangements for nautical and pleasure sports. Direct access to Danube is

foreseen- including to the Danube Delta- and to the zones of major interest.

The investment functions in four buildings and made-up spaces which contain: pleasure areas, a swimming

pool, parking places, alleys, forecourt etc.


Modernization of the tourist infrastructure of Lacu Sarat Holiday Resort, Braila

This fact will be possible using local funds, as well as European financial support. A previous project for the modernization of the Lacu Sarat resort was designed through the PHARE 2001 Program, a budget of 8 million Euro being allocated. This Program implies the construction of a salt water pool, a hall for mud packing, the modernization of the beach and the solarium, the modernization of the children and youth camp, but also the supplement of the

accommodation capacity, by building a hotel of 3 stars class with 80 seats. By the project implementation, we intend to develop at a high level the tourist and therapeutic potential represented

by the brackish water and the sapropel mud, factors that correlated with the beach and the forest near the lake and also with the existent monastery, will lead to the significant increase of the tourists’ number from the country and abroad.

Accomplishing this project, as well as through an intense promotion activity, Lacu Sarat holiday resort can become an important national and international resort, especially for the therapeutic qualities of the mud and salt water, much superior to the ones of Amara and Techirghiol lakes.

Considering the promotion, this should be represented, besides the well-known methods (brochures, folders), also by the modern ones such as: a presentation web on the Internet, the presentation of the resort’s programmes in the tourist agencies’ offer, able to make them known at the tourist exhibitions and fairs, the spreading of promotional materials presenting the resort’s offer of tourist services and baleary treatment in the Health County Institutions, the promotion of the resort made by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture Braila during the business visits organised both in the country and abroad.

The project also aims at the certification of Lacu Sarat Resort as a tourist resort of a national importance with the immediate effects that result from this fact.

Specific Objectives:-the achievement and the improvement of the sewage water system, public lighting, telephone network, parking

places; works that may be made by eliminating the humidity in excess from the resort soil;-the modernization of the beach and solar for nudism;-the building of a multifunctional complex of hotels classified at three stars with a capacity of 80 accommodations;the building of a Business Center with a capacity of 70 seats, classified at three stars;the building of a House for Retiring Persons with a capacity of 100 accommodations;the improvement of balneal treatment quality by the construction of new basis of treatment;the modernization of the holiday camp for children and young people by the achievement of modern complex
