Abstract:
The investigations
conducted at the Vatra Dornei microzone,
Suceava County, which is made up of 11
administrative-territorial units (Broşteni,
Ciocăneşti, Cîrlibaba, Crucea, Dorna Arini,
Dorna Candreni, Iacobeni, Panaci, Poiana
Stampei, Şaru Dornei and Vatra Dornei
Municipality) have shown that all these
localities had similar conditions as concerns
soil and climatic conditions, socialeconomic
development, high touristic
potential and relatively low density of
population (below 45 inhabitants/km2). Our
studies carried out in the Vatra Dornei
microzone on the sustainable development
of rural tourism and agritourism showed that
in the investigated area there was a specific
form of agritourism, corresponding to the
mountainous area, which had specific
features in every village and commune. The
basic element of the sustainable
development within these localities was
represented by a new orientation of the farm
development. The agritouristic pensions
from the studied area have two stars, while
at Dorna Candreni, there are three starpensions
(Poiana and Poiana Izvoarelor
Pensions).
