TOURISTIC MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN RURAL AREA OF SOUTHERN DOBROGEA

Abstract

Situated between the Danube and the Black Sea Coast, Southern Dobrogea is a region full of nature and history. This area is a multicultural geographic space with many cultural attractions and traditions that can be used for rural tourism. The forms of cultural tourism that can be developed  within this area are the following: cultural-ethnographical tourism, cultural-historical tourism, cultural-religious tourism and cultural-scientific tourism. These forms of tourism can be developed individually or combined with other types, by organizing thematic routes. The valuation of these cultural resources is an opportunity for the sustainable tourism development in rural area of Southern Dobrogea, but also an alternative to the classic seaside tourism from the Black Sea Coast, which, in fact, has a seasonal character.
