Firstly, every tourism marketing plan must begin with the objectives,
because you need to understand what results you want. I underlined 8 main
objectives of tourism in my country.

Must-haves to go:
Take a day trip to the breakaway region of Transnistria.
Visit the cave monasteries at Orheiul Vechi, and make friends with the
resident monks. Orheiul Vechi can be reached by public transport but it's
better to organise a guide to interpret.
Gulp down refreshing dry white sauvignons and full-bodied reds at
Cricova’s underground wine cellars.
People-watch from the cool cafes of capital Chisinau.
Quick advise:
Few Moldovans speak English so a few words of Romanian or Russian
will go a long way.
Credit cards aren’t accepted everywhere but many places will accept US
dollars, especially in the breakaway Transnistrian Republic.
Moldova is flat which makes for easy cycling, despite the condition of
some of the roads.
Inside Chisinau trolleybus rides or taxis are inexpensive.
Accommodation is limited in Moldova. Chisinau has a decent range of
hotels but outside the city hotels tend to be soviet-style and gloomy.
You’ll need your passport to check in.
“Locals Only” : Call taxis rather than waiting at official stands if possible as
it’s much cheaper.
Challenge people to post a photo per day with their favorite place in
Moldova, during a week.
Decades ago, Moldova was known within the Soviet Union for making
that country’s best wine. Moldova’s wine attractions run deeper (in this case,
much deeper) than mere vineyards. Some of the largest wineries have
extensive underground storage cellars that stretch on for hundreds of
kilometres. Even if you haven’t got the slightest interest in wine, these
labyrinthine cellars, carved in limestone, are fascinating to explore. For
instance, the cellars at the Cricova winery, 15km north of Chişinău, are the
best known (but incredibly, at 120km, not the longest). Some 60km of the
tunnels, which date from the 15th century, are lined wall-to-wall with
bottles. Republic of Moldova can be successful in tourism by creating new
products within the following forms of tourism, which are considered as
priority: Rural tourism; Ecotourism; Wine tourism; Beauty and health
tourism; Cultural tourism; Business tourism.
Make the most of mobile tourism marketing by getting on the level of the
majority of mobile users. Pictures tell a story faster, so creating an Instagram
account and posting is a good idea. So, we did it. For promotion, Moldova we
have more 5 Instagram accounts. There we are showing a unique view of your
wonderful country. Also we are posting videos to create a visual tour of our
favorite and most incredible places here. Also, we have Facebook page that is
showing our story regulary, receiving many positive feedback.
