What is sustainability ?
Sustainability consists of fulfilling the needs of current
generations without compromising the needs of future
generations, while ensuring a balance between economic
growth, environmental care and social well-being.

 Tourism is one of the most dynamic and challenging industries
across the globe. Since tourism is a multi-dimensional service
industry, it becomes a responsibility of national and local
governments, to make it more sustainable and responsible for
minimizing the negative environmental, social and cultural
impacts and generating greater economic benefits for local
residents.

INTRODUCTION
 Sustainable tourism is about refocusing and
adapting.
Sustainable tourism can be defined as a kind of
tourism that has more benefits than negative impacts,
especially relating to the environment, economy and
communities. Truly sustainable and responsible tourism
should make destinations better for people to live in, as
well as to visit them.

IN ROMANIA

Romania is a destination on the rise, so we don’t face a large

number of tourists yet. But every year it becomes more known
around the world and some places started to be very busy ( the
Bran Castle, for example).

However, tourism is a great way for economic growth so we

need to prepare to take advantage of it, keeping in mind the fact
that it needs to be a healthy growth.

 Supporting sustainable tourism in Romania
Sustainable tourism became an important subject since the number of tourists
increased and their actions started to impact the places they visit. A large number of
travelers in one place affect the lives of those living there and the whole environment,
as well.
