Current National And Regional Trends For Romanian Agritourism

Agritourism is one of the most suitable options available for farmers to ensure increased income. It can also serve as instrument to revive regional economy and conserve rural societies and landscapes. In Romania, agritourism sector has an overall growing trend between 2016-2018, but is marked by uneven development across regions. Largest number of agritouristic enterprises in Romania are located in counties from Transylvania followed by eastern part of Romania: from Bucovina down to Danube Delta and Black Sea. Proximity to mass touristic attractions creates a high-competition economic climate for agritourism enterprises from counties Sibiu and Brasov. Agritourism growth might be currently available for counties Cluj and Alba. County Satu-Hare has a low existing capacity, but the frend is not steady. Success of agritourism enterprise could be enhanced by increasing training level of the staff in order to overcome competition from other accommodation and leisure providers and establish sustainable strategies for agritourism development.
