Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to examine the local recreation sector in Romania from the business representatives’ perspective. The results presented herein are based on a case study survey conducted on a number of 35 organisations specialised in providing artistic, sports, entertainment, cultural, or gambling and betting services from 13 cities in Romania. The research shows what are the main reasons for starting a business in the local recreation sector, what difficulties entrepreneurs encounter, what strategies they adopt in their attempt to create thriving companies, and how they perceive the breadth of the competitive threats. The inquiry regarding the sector’s present and prospective level of development reveals a rather optimistic outlook despite the current setbacks. The study is not intended to be exhaustive nor statistically significant, but to give a reflection of the reality through in depth exploration of the given sample of businesses operating in the local recreation sector in Romania.
