Abstract

Tourism is an important sector of the economy, with a remarkable growth, with much higher opportunities than other sectors of the economy, which has shown that it can overcome some of the States yet. In the coming years expects tourism to develop in such a way that its effects are unlikely to occur with more intensity on a large number of urban and rural settlements. From the perspective of modern man, rural tourism can represent great chance in the sprawling unification process, offering the possibility to approach people, to know, to discover the life and culture of others filming his fellowmen, to better understand those with whom they live, to struggle together, thus creating natural or cultural heritage, hoping to maintain his and transmission as it looks today. The sustainable development of the rural areas constitutes a high priority for Romania.
