Abstract:
The initiation and the progress of the agrotouristic activity at the level
of one pension had as a main economic effect the accumulation of extra
income, as the analysis of the activity. The level of these incomes is high
considering the fact that the process started approximately one year ago and
that the promotion of the activity should be more intense.
Analyzing the positive economic effects which have occurred as a
result of the agrotouristic activity at the pension „ Poiana” and the fact that
this process will developed in the future if the management is effective, the
economic effects will intensify – we can certainly say that agrotourism can be
a sure way to balance back the decline of rural pensions situated in areas
with touristic potential.
The effects of the agrotouristic activity development at the pension
„Poiana” manifests not only economically, but socially as well, being more
difficult to quantify.
Through this activity a direct contect between tourists and the local
population is created, ensuring a better possibility to encounter new cultures
and opinions. Knowledge spreads not only among those who practice
agrotourism at the pension „Poiana”, but also among the local dwellers with
whom the tourists get in contact during their holiday and for the latter as
well. Furthermore it is suitable for establishing friendly relations and
preserving the local traditions, making culture and the society of Dorna a
permanency. Thus harmony between authentic and modern is created,
putting textures and traditional carpets next to a computer. Tradition is kept,
but modern is kept, but modern is not ignored.
The initiation of agro tourism activity at the pension „Poiana”
implied assimilation of new knowledge regarding a new domain, the family
accumulation, during the process, professional experience in other areas
than agriculture or leather manufacture (already known and exploited).
This was the framework of knowledge and communication is
emphasized and other ways, a favorable image to the area.
