Abstract

In a society increasingly urbanized, the call for rural areas and its specific lifestyle becomes increasingly stronger. Urban dwellers return to their places of origin and the simple lifestyle of the "old times". These are some of the motivations that led to an increase in rural tourism both in Romania and many other parts of the world. During visits, the tourist is more inclined to personally seek information at different places of contact - especially at transport and accommodation operators, as well as at tourist information centres. A good Tourist Information Centre (TIC) will not work only as office to be visited by tourists, but also as a distribution point of information through local transport and accommodation providers. Even if the visitors are given good information when they ask for further guidance "on the road" to tourist attractions, a good network of brown signs in international format must be provided in order to facilitate the trip.
