Abstract: Cultural identity is the result of a historical development process and could become a source of wealth within the conditions of an appropriate management. One of the possibilities to materialize this relation is by it through cultural tourism. The paper aims to highlight the particularities of this type of tourism in rural areas and the ways how public administration could be involved in providing the balance between the needs of residents and the needs of visitors. In fact, it is constructed an argument for the positive correlation between cultural tourism and local development, departing from the premise that this could manifest itself only if the local public administration is involved in the design and implementation of coherent programs, that follows the milestones of a realistic visions, built on the base of objective and detailed knowledge of the local context.
