The Analysis Of The Asymmetrical Risk In Tourism For The Development And Promotion Of A Lasting Regional Tourism Identity

In order to establish an adequate balance between tourists’ welfare, the needs of the natural and cultural environment, as well as to develop tourist destinations and organizations’ competitiveness, it is necessary to carry out a global and integrated approach, where all interested parties share the same goals regarding the durability of tourism and the approached challenges. The purpose of this work is to identify the factors of reduced risk having a major impact over the sustainability of the tourist region under analysis and to highlight the risk factors’ connections and impact in order to minimize and eliminate them, with direct effects over the awareness of tourist industry’s values. The identification of lasting development’s indicators will take into account all these three aspects of the durable development of tourism, namely ecological, economical and social factors, that play a part in highlighting the real performance of a tourist destination. All these aspects are absolutely necessary for the promotion of the Danube’s tourist potential, achievable through the emphasis of the relevant values from the tourist patrimony of the county of Galati. The promotion of the Danube’ tourist potential presupposes a series of objectives that are subordinated to the general direction that is marked at the national level, respectively Romania’s transformation into a qualitative tourist destination based on its natural and cultural patrimony, in order to correspond to the European Union standards. The new policy regarding tourism proposed by the European Commission aims at offering constant support for this industry to be able to face different challenges, by promoting also competitiveness in general.
