RURAL TOURISM AS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF INCOME FOR RURAL PLACES hot!

ZORZOLIU Raluca IATAGAN Mariana Spiru Haret University Faculty of Marketing and International Business, Bucharest, Romania Abstract Tourism is the most important economic branch, worldwide, owning 12% of all areas of activity and revenue of approximately 530 billion dollars per year. In the past 10 years we could see an increasing demand for rural tourism and ecotourism, many of the international travel agencies offering ecotourism packages. Our country is attractive from the perspective of international travel agencies, because of unpolluted nature, the authenticity of traditions, the Danube Delta, old forests and not least, because the Romanian hospitality. Rural tourism had been practiced for a long time in Romania but for the past 15-20 years, it was casual and without any form of organization. Tourism activities in rural areas are carried out when agricultural activities takeplace and contribute to the welfare of rural communities that practice it. The development of tourism activities requires attention to the quality of the environment by preserving and developing the quality in the areas that have entered the tourist circuit, controlling the activity quality for a rational use of tourism resources. Our country benefits from EU funding through several programs including SAPARD, taking one of the measures, Measure 3.4, which is called the development and diversification of economic activities that generate multiple activities and alternative incomes. A deciding role in the development of rural tourism is held by the general infrastructure, requiring subsidies from the budget for tourism attraction areas for sustaining, by public administrations, programs to support tourism in rural areas. Rural tourism contributes to the sustainable development of the Romanian rural environment by proper use of local resources, establishing youth in rural areas, reducing the number of unemployed, women's involvement in economic and social life of rural settlements, raising living standards, growth in household rural areas, increasing the industry's contribution to the formation of gross domestic product. Ecotourism is a business opportunity, a market segment growing rapidly, having an important educational component, by teaching respect for the natural environment.

ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE DEMAND AND OFFER OF ACCOMMODATION IN CAMPS FOR CHILDREN hot!

ZAHARIA Marian OPREA Cristina Petroleum Gas University, Ploieşti, Romania GOGONEA Manuela-Rodica Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania Abstract This work analyzes the main valuation indices of the evolution of demand and offer of accommodation in camps for children under and of school age. In the first part of the study we approach the offer of accommodation in camps for children under and of school age based on the indices: the number of camps, the existing accommodation capacity and the accommodation capacity in operation. All the indices indicate a strong decrease of the offer of accommodation accentuated in the last part of the analyzed period. The evolution of the demand of accommodation is valuated from the point of view of the number of tourists arrived and accommodated in camps for children under and of school age, of the number of overnight stays, of the average duration of the stay, of the number of school population and of the average salary output. The evolution trend of the demand shows significant decreases, yet not outrunning the decrease rhythm of the demand. This is why the net utilization index of the accommodation capacity shows some growing values. In the last part of the study we analyze a possible dependence between the demand of accommodation expressed in the number of arrivals in the camps for children under and of school age and two quantitative factors: the number of school population and the average salary output. The results indicate the existence of a dependence relation between the number of arrivals and the number of school population, the salary output not representing a relevant factor of influence. The conclusions of the analysis show the need to carry out some ample and constant activities of promoting this tourism company among the school and pre-school population as well as their families, taking into account the educative and training role that the activities organized in the camps of children under and of school age can and must have on the young generation's training and education.

TOURISM POLICY IN ROMANIA: A NECESSARY CHANGE OF DIRECTION hot!

TĂCHICIU Laurenţiu DINU Vasile Academy of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania Abstract In modern economies services are dominant. As the role of services is increasing, the difference between goods and services is vanishing, but most of our economics and business knowledge is developed from a manufacturing perspective which is no more satisfactory in the new service economy conditions. One important aspect is that the ability of a country to participate effectively to the growing international trade in services depends more and more on its attractiveness as a visitors' destination. Although there is a well developed understanding of the role of tourism to the general economic and social development, it is less understood the effect of economic and social living conditions as visitor attractiveness factors. Reviewing recent studies, assessments and reports regarding the travel tourism economy of Romania, authors found out that achieving the economic potential of tourism faces serious challenges due, primarily, to the discrepancy between the conditions visitors are increasingly looking for and the conditions provided by Romanian destinations. In order to accept the challenges with chances of success the tourism policy making should radically change direction. The authors identify three main priorities: focus on general development, put policy in the service of visitors first, improve communication and branding.

THE ANALYSIS OF THE ASYMMETRICAL RISK IN TOURISM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTION OF A LASTING REGI hot!

SUSANU Irina Olimpia CRISTACHE Nicoleta MICU Angela - Eliza MICU Adrian Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, Romania, Faculty of Economic NEDELEA Alexandru University Stefan cel Mare Suceava, Romania Faculty of Economic Sciences and Public Administration Abstract In order to establish an adequate balance between tourists' welfare, the needs of the natural and cultural environment, as well as to develop tourist destinations and organizations' competitiveness, it is necessary to carry out a global and integrated approach, where all interested parties share the same goals regarding the durability of tourism and the approached challenges. The purpose of this work is to identify the factors of reduced risk having a major impact over the sustainability of the tourist region under analysis and to highlight the risk factors' connections and impact in order to minimize and eliminate them, with direct effects over the awareness of tourist industry's values. The identification of lasting development's indicators will take into account all these three aspects of the durable development of tourism, namely ecological, economical and social factors, that play a part in highlighting the real performance of a tourist destination. All these aspects are absolutely necessary for the promotion of the Danube's tourist potential, achievable through the emphasis of the relevant values from the tourist patrimony of the county of Galati. The promotion of the Danube' tourist potential presupposes a series of objectives that are subordinated to the general direction that is marked at the national level, respectively Romania's transformation into a qualitative tourist destination based on its natural and cultural patrimony, in order to correspond to the European Union standards. The new policy regarding tourism proposed by the European Commission aims at offering constant support for this industry to be able to face different challenges, by promoting also competitiveness in general.

THE DEVELOPMENT IN DYNAMICS AND STRUCTURE OF THE ROMANIAN TOURISM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GLOBAL CRISI hot!

STANCIULESCU Gabriela Academy of Economic Studies Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania MICU Ionela Cristina University of Pitesti, Pitesti, Romania Abstract The purpose of this study is to make a short presentation of the Romanian tourism in the context of the global economic crisis, highlighting the main data about inbound and outbound tourism. Due to the current global crisis, Romanian tourism disposes of two main options: to ripen or to run low. The empirical results will show the connection between Romanian tourism and the global economic crisis and shall state precisely the decrease or increase for the indicators between 2000 and 2007. In 2007, the year when Romania joined the European Union and when all stipulations regarding free travelling for people who travel in other communitarian countries were passed, Romanian tourists increased their interest in travelling abroad. This also brought to an increased number of persons visiting other countries. The economic crisis might be a chance for Romanian tourism to raise the bid as in such periods tourists usually look for close destinations, developing the incoming indicator that was very low during the last few years. Romania's international touristic feed is characterized by an evolution reflecting the various changes and transformations from the political, economic, and social points of view. The drawn conclusions prove the fact that both the global heating and the global financial crisis take place in the same time and thus we must take actions in order to improve Romanian tourism.
