Smart Experience, Romanian Business with Memorable Experiences

A gift for a dear friend, a memorable experience for yourself or your group of friends, rewarding your employees in unique ways or just looking for an out-of-the-ordinary team activity, Smart Experience, a company founded in 2008, offers Romanians over 500 experiences suitable for any occasion and any person.

Driven by the passion for novelty activities, Dan Ioniță, the founder of the company, laid 14 years ago the first brick of the community of active, eager for adrenaline people from Romania, and launched the online platform SmartExperience.ro, which offers anyone the opportunity to experiment memorable activities on their own. The business quickly went to the next level less than two years after its launch, organizing memorable events for groups (individuals or companies): sailing trips, hiking, off-road trails, shooting range sessions, balloon rides, and so on.

Over time, SmartExperience portfolio has grown spectacularly, and at the moment the company collaborates with more than 200 providers of all kinds of experiences, from horse riding in different areas of the country, to relaxation packages at the SPA, plane rides over the mountains, over the big cities of Romania or above the coast, parachuting, ballooning, paragliding, rafting, sailing, scuba diving, off-road, shooting with a gun or archery, abseiling, zipline, escape room, Black Sea cruises and more. At the request of their customers, Smart Experience has also introduced open events for groups, where anyone can sign up to try various experiences, together with other people sharing the same passions.

Smart Experience activities that have been increasingly accessed in recent years demonstrate the growing interest of Romanians for adrenaline and for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. People are generally attracted to novelty and are interested in experiencing things that spark wonder and imagination, that increase creativity and the adrenaline dose.

„People invest in their well-being and every activity we involve them in brings them joy, appetite for life and energy! More than ever, people want to experience as much as possible after the long period of social isolation, stress and social distancing caused by Covid-19. The experiences we propose directly respond to this heightened need for social interaction, outdoor activities, good cheer and relaxation. We focus on people with every event we organize, and through our efforts we want to leave behind the hope for a better and more active world”, says Dan Ioniță, founder of Smart Experience.

Experiences can be purchased directly from the SmartExperience.ro company website, the platform that brings together in one place the majority of experience providers in Romania and facilitates public access to them.
