THE POTENTIAL OF TOURISM IN THE NEAMŢ COUNTY
Journal Title: The Annals of Valahia University of Târgoviste, Geographical Series - Year 2007, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The Neamţ county has a diverse natural and anthropic potential in order to implement a sustainable tourism in the present time. The main area for tourism is concentrated in the north-east part, where the main attractions are the Ceahlău Massif, the Bicaz Cliffs and the Red Lake, plus the Bistriţa Valley and monasteries like Neamţ, Agapia or Văratec. The impact of tourism in this area also explains a higher environmental degradation. Though in 2005, the north-east part concentrated 337 hotels, motels, cabins or agro-touristic pensions, the number of tourists has decreased to 553,3 in 2005 comparing to 1558,7 tourists in 1990. One explanation can be the lack of tourism services compatible to the international standards. In order to revitalize the tourism in the Neamţ County, the local authorities have initiated “A Plan of Marketing for the Development of Tourism” in 2004. Being helped by USAID and Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), there have been fulfilled 2 projects: ˝Tourism – An Opportunity for the Economical Development of the Neamţ County” and „Creangă Land”. The local authorities have underlined the importance of revitalisation of summer and winter tourism (creating 3 new skiing slopes and a ski-lift which connects Mount Cozla to Mount Pietricica in Piatra-Neamţ or creating a modern skiing slope at Durău resort). Another attention should be paid to the development of rural tourism in the mountain area (such as the Ceahlău Massif) or in the area with monasteries, because this form of tourism can increase the budget of the Neamţ county.
