Tourist Attractions

Maybe he should put on some shows in keeping with the area. Micheal Howard isn't doing anything at present, maybe we can hire Mandelson as his familiar?

"THE Prince of Wales is buying a retreat in Transylvania, the region of Romania famous as the home of Count Dracula. The prince hopes to inject new life into a historic village listed as a world heritage site.

His purchase is intended to inspire sustainable tourism in the former communist country. It could also help staunch a possible exodus of Romanians from the region when the country joins the European Union in January.

Charles is negotiating to buy a ruined farmhouse in Viscri, a village of 400 homes in Transylvania, a region known as the birthplace of Vlad the Impaler, a 15th-century ruler whose cruel ways gave rise to the Dracula legends. Genealogists have traced his bloodline to the prince."

"Within the next two years the trust plans to set up a national park for the bears, boars and wolves that roam the surrounding forests.

Caroline Fernolend, a local councillor and one of 25 descendants of the original Saxon settlers who still live in Viscri, said: “The people will welcome the prince. He loves it here. We have something very special which you in England have lost. It is in our architecture and in our environment."

"Charles wrote after one visit: “I was deeply impressed by the natural beauty and cultural richness of what I saw. The area represents a lost past for most of us — a past in which villages were intimately linked to their landscape.”
A Clarence House spokeswoman said: “The Prince of Wales has been looking to purchase a house in Transylvania . . . to be used as an example to assist sustainable tourism in the area.”
