Abstract:
The rural communities show a disturbing image, by their
contradicting images and the structures of great mobility. They describe a
system in which the private property is prevailing and most of the times the
rural communities are the scene of „parallel economies”. The research
underlines the agritourism potential with emphasise on the possibilites to
integrally develop the rural localities at the level of Dorna’s Basin, Suceava
county, a region with a remarkable potential that is not fully exploited. Agri
tourism in this area comes as an alternative for development of inhabitants’
daily lives. Although Dorna’s Basin has a rich potential, the tourism flow is
mostly domestic, the foreign tourists having only a very small share (about
2%). In order to increase the number of tourists, especially the foreign ones,
an improvement of the material base and an intense promotion, by various
means (leaflets, illustrated tourism guides, web pages, television and so on)
are needed.
