The Dynamics of Tourism as Indicator for the Rural Development in Maramures County
Keywords:
Maramures County, rural development, tourismAbstract
The rural tourism represents a major segment of the Romanian travelling sector, which has been under continuous development for the last twenty years. Identifying the development methods of this sector becomes very important and rather necessary considering the many problems this sector is faced with and that impede its progress, at its true potential. Maramures is one of the most complex regions of our country, which manages to successfully combine, using the available resources, several forms of practicable tourism: cultural tourism, religious tourism, agritourism, mountain tourism, balneal tourism etc.
The incommensurable diversity and importance of the touristic resources existing in Maramures County was certified not only by the travellers visiting the region, but also by the fact that Maramures has become a place of the UNESCO world heritage, by including eight wood churches located in this county among the UNESCO world sites.
