Abstract

The purpose of travel is the discovering of the German roots, knowledge of the great writers of German literature, customs and traditions, the schools, churches with specific architectural style, post headquarters, specific households, the traditional architecture of living spaces, the crafts practiced and popular costumes, baroque monuments from common market. The use of these anthropic resources in tourism, in general, contributes to the sustainable development of these multicultural areas causing the development of genealogical tourism as a form of niche tourism.
