Abstract:
Turning the resources of the Romanian mountain villages into account
can be done by organizing various fairs, festivals, contensts that will
complete the favorable image of the villages. Still, the rural tourism/agri
tourism remains the main and the most important way for turning these
resources into account. They make a contribution to introducing some
diversified natural conditions into the domestic and foreign tourism circuit
and to turning the entire thesaurus of traditional and contemporary culture
into account. Among the attractive anthropic events the most important are:
occupations and crafts; costumes, dances and popular songs; traditional
holidays; architecture and peasant technical installations; human
settlements. This vast activity is based on three inter-dependent elements:
attraction to the natural beauties, to ethnography, novelty, charma ND events
specific to the rural life; accommodation and meals, even though they are not
at the hotels standards, must be of high quality and offered with hospitality;
transportation, access ways to the rural area are vital for ensuring a
continuous flow of tourists. Turning the novelty of the Romanian village and
its “geographical personality” into account” leaves a mark on recovering
and revitalizing the local activities, objective achieved by: Reactivating
crafts and developing the services in a diversified range, which will ensure
an occupational balance and a strengthening of jobs; Stimulating alternative
activities generating supplementary incomes (rural tourism, agri-tourism);
Promoting and stimulating local economies which process food and non-food
products; Organizing the production structures and the structures for
processing; Organizing the associations, in a diversified range ; family
micro-production farms, professional associations, etc.. Establishing local
institutional structures and partnership between the public and private
institutions; The promoted legislation should comprise the real problems of
the rural environment, including the social protection.
