Suggestions for Organizing and Promoting Ecotourism within Romania’s Protected Areas

Summary/Abstract: “Constructing an eco-economy is rather rousing and fully satisfying. (...) and probably the most important thing, is that we will have the contentment of building an economy which will help and undercut the future generations” (Lester R. Brown). Given Mr. Brown’s idea we can start by saying that the past few years of the XX century brought into everyone’s attention a new domain related to people’s concern for holidays: ecotourism. From this point of view, but further more others, this new domain arouses more and more the professional interest of many specialist groups, especially throughout the new philosophy based on durability, continuity, and last but not least on a huge care for the environment. In virtue of these premises, but also those regarding the laws of the European Union imposed for applying also for our country, we consider that Romania has huge imperfections at understanding, and especially at implementing ecotourism, or the so called “green tourism”. Although the circumstances, Romania’s problems within this sector emerge from the failure in practicing ecomarketing at any hierarchical management level, in particular because of the non-existing publicity beyond population, in general, of those areas which have a great tourist or ecotourist potential. In protected areas appear series of specific problems which do not emerge from the impossibility of practicing this form of tourism, but from the necessity of a proper-power management of these natural habitats that have a unique and valuable importance in maintaining the ecological balance and into the protection of biodiversity. In capacity of consumers, entrepreneurs or tourism researchers, each one of us should „taste” nature, because living embracing nature, even for a couple of days, helps us seeing life on a more colorful and optimistic way, we can breathe better think more clearly, smile even more, in fact it helps us live our life with much more reliability and bravery in every second, because we get to discover another world, better, more inbreed, more pure. Furthermore, we should and we must hand down the opportunity for them to „taste” from the „slice” of pleasure living each day within an environment untainted by us. Therefore, ecotourism, responsibly implemented can generate extra quality into the life of our fellow creatures, but in the same time purposeful economical and ecological behalves
