Abstract:
In Romania, rural development through tourism activities has taken place under the background of the significant increase in recent years, both in number and in quality, of the accommodation units in the rural area, due to individual investors and funding received under the governmental programs, as well as to the activity of certain organizations that provide support to the rural suppliers of tourism services to enter the market and help the rural communities to appreciate the significance of tourism and understand the advantages that they can get from this activity. Taking this into consideration, the aim of the paper is to analyze the main measures and submeasures under which eligible investments provide support to tourism development and promotion in Romania’s rural area. The statistical data were completed by information from papers and studies published in specialty books and journals on tourism and rural development. The databases published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and different organizations in the field were also investigated.
