Abstract

The National Institute for Research and Development in Tourism, Bucharest elaborated, between March and September 2015, a research study regarding cultural tourism development at national level through the local museums and memorial houses. Within this research it was tried to emphasize the way in which the Romanian local museums and memorial houses are prepared to participate in the Romanian cultural tourism development and to find solutions to integrate the local museums and the memorials houses in the tourist circuit. It was also observed that there exist the needs to create an image of the localities through the existence of these cultural institutions. The aim of this research study is to demonstrate the need of inter museum exchange at the local, national and international level, regarding mobility and heritage specialists; promoting partnerships with: education, research, academic, affiliated or linked cultural and creative industries, media trusts, and construction companies involved in urban regeneration projects, or community development. The general objectives were connected particularly to two major issues that define local museums, namely: - Conservation, exposure, collecting, keeping track of exhibits, documentation, their restoration, scientific research;- Protection, development of owned heritage through exhibitions, publications and other forms of direct and indirect communication by visitors.
