ETHICS, LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN ROMANIAN TOURISM
ETHICS, LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN ROMANIAN TOURISM

Summary/Abstract: Romania’s wind energy sector has witnessed significant expansion over the last decade, driven by both European Union policies and domestic commitments to renewable energy. However, political resistance, regulatory challenges, and market dynamics have led to a complicated landscape for further growth. This article examines the intersection of political forces and Darwin’s theory of species evolution discusses the development of species through natural selection, noting that more advanced species developed a natural instinct of social duty. In time communities developed norms and rules establishing desirable ethical behaviors in society and the consequences of violating them. In modern times, laws and regulations constitute the minimum ethics of society. Today’s world faces increasingly urgent issues, including climate change, ideological conflicts leading to wars in various parts of the globe, and heated debates concerning gender acceptance and the elimination of discrimination. All of this exerts mounting pressure at every societal level. We find ourselves engaged in profound discussions about what is right or wrong, correct or incorrect, who is right, who should be punished and excluded. In these turbulent times, the need for well-being becomes a priority, and tourism plays a crucial role in this regard. Thus, we set out to examine the extent to which tourism management authorities establish laws and regulations that form a solid foundation for tourism business ethics. We start from the premise that a well-established and strictly implemented foundation imposes business ethics that can only advance beyond minimal legislative standards. We have observed how the laws and regulations adopted for Romanian tourism impose a business ethics that leads to sustainable development. We also analyzed the extent to which the sustainable development objectives of Romanian tourism are monitored. We have determined that international trends have influenced legislative regulations, and the concept of sustainable tourism is frequently invoked, however, the concrete steps taken in this regard remain minimal.
