The Anthropogenic Heritage as a Premise for the Development of Tourism in Sălaj County

Abstract

"The Anthropogenic Heritage as a Premise for the Development of Tourism in Sălaj County. The anthropogenic heritage represents an integral part of the primary tourism supply. Together with the natural attractions, man-made attractions represent the essential reason for the emergence and development of tourism in Sălaj County or anywhere else. The identification and structuring of the anthropogenic attractive resources in Sălaj County was adapted to the configuration and specificity of the existing heritage in the analysed space, including the following types: archaeological sites and historical monuments, museums and memorial houses, monuments, statues, cultural and artistic events, as well as the intangible heritage (traditions, customs, music, dances, crafts). The data were collected from various bibliographical and online sources, as well as directly in the field. However, except for Porolissum archaeological site and Jibou Botanical Garden, many of these attractions are virtually unknown even in Romania, and they are mostly visited by locals, and by pilgrims in the case of churches and monasteries. Therefore, there is need for the setting up of a better overall image of Sălaj County as a tourist destination. Keywords: Sălaj County, anthropogenic heritage, man-made attractions, tourism development, Romania. "

Spatial Analysis of Seasonal and Trend Patterns in Romanian Agritourism Arrivals Using Seasonal-Trend Decomposition Using LOESS

“…In the case of Sălaj County, a more engaged approach toward promoting agritourism can be beneficial, both for local authorities and businesses. Previous research notes the touristic potential of this region [78,79]. On the other hand, Hunedoara County seems to be less prone to seasonal variations than its neighbors, while maintaining high trend values.…”

The Tourism Infrastructure of Sălaj County

“…The present paper is the third part of a larger study concerning tourism in Sălaj County. The first two parts (Rusu et al, 2020;Rusu et al, 2021) considered the natural and anthropogenic tourism potential of the county, while this paper has in view the tourism infrastructure of the county. The relevant scientific literature has been carefully reviewed, taking into consideration both theoretical studies (Ciangă, 2007;Ciangă and Dezsi, 2007;Cocean and Dezsi, 2009) (Dezsi, 2006;Răcășan, 2018).…”

“…The tourism potential of Sălaj County, whose main attractive features made up the object of study for two previously published papers (Rusu et al, 2020;Rusu et al, 2021), is a part of the primary tourism supply which includes the whole range of material or non-material components belonging to the natural environment or created by man, and represents the fundamental factor in the emergence and development of tourism, in the absence of which tourism would not exist, because of the lack of its object of activity. On the other hand, the tourism infrastructure, with all its range of components, the quantitative and qualitative level of the services and their diversity, including the number and quality of the staff employed in the field, make up the secondary tourism supply (Dezsi, 2006).…”
