Abstract

As a subject for analysis and meditation, the village or other forms of organisation have proven, initially, to be a social reality that has fully contributed to the transformation of the geographical environment, enriching the heritage of the national and universal civilisation. As a national, permanent, sedentary and continuous identity element, the Romanian village has always had a complex physiognomy, defined through a well-defined centre, around which the housings and the fixtures of agriculturers gather, as well as the place outside it, representing the object of labour and the space where the basic productive activities of the population take place. Geo Bogza was saying about Romania in his documentary ?villages and towns? that ?there was initially a country of villages?, and now we tend, ironically, towards what the author used to write... This statement encourages us to believe that rural tourism and agrotourism have been practised in Romania since ancient times. The importance of strong regional relations is extended to the use of food or other agricultural products in the rural tourism industry, through aimed substitution policies and the connections with other products obtained from agriculture (farms, factories, shops, museums). Such policies have the possibility to increase the relations between the agricultural communities, the trading sector and the tourism industrial suppliers from the local area, thus consolidating the local economies. (Telfer et al, 1996; Swarbrooke, 1996; ATSIC, 1996)
