Abstract:
Banat is a territory with inherited structures, yet constantly renewed by the sequence of influences and dominations it was subjected to throughout history. The identity of Banat is rendered by its capacity to assimilate and harmonize values of different origins. The reverence for the other’s specificity is a lifelong rule established here, also confirmed by the lack of intercultural tensions in a region traditionally characterized by an exquisite melange of nationalities, customs, mindsets and internal organization. All these represent powerful arguments for the purpose of this article, namely the assessment of tourism development over time in Banat, this Romanian territory being successor of a multicultural material and spiritual patrimony of high value not extensively known and included in the national and international tourist circuits.
