 SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TOURISM ACTIVITIES IN ROMANIAElena Sima ()
Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, 2018, vol. 15, issue 2, 219-224 Abstract: The sustainable rural development of the Romanian rural area requires reaching a balance between the need to preserve the rural economic, ecological and cultural space and the tendency to modernize the rural economic activity and life. The pleading for the promotion of tourism activities in the rural area starts from the need for rural economical diversification. In general, no rural development program can be conceived in the absence of an essential role played by agriculture. In this context, the paper presents the tourism potential of the rural localities from Romania and the rural tourism development from the perspective of European integration. The statistical data were completed with information from papers and studies published in specialty books and journals, in governmental documents, as well as in other development strategies related to tourism and rural development. The volume of information in this paper resulted from the investigation of relationships that exist between the environmental and social factors at local level, making it possible to define the necessary mechanisms for the sustainable development of tourism activities. Keywords: sustainable rural development; development strategy; rural tourism.
