The study analyzes several models for estimating migration through linear regression, but also a VAR (Vector autoregression) analysis, as the variables can influence each other. Vector autoregression (VAR) is also used to model multivariate time series, and it can analyze the dynamics of a migration process. Therefore, the best model for forecasting the migration process in Romania is Model 1 of linear regression. This phenomenon generates many positive and negative economic, demographic and political effects. The migration process has become particularly important for Romania in the last 20 years, and its socio-economic, political and cultural effects affect the Romanian state. That is why flexible policies are needed in order to be coherent, to have as main purpose keeping specialists in the country in certain basic economic f...

As the contemporary world is in a constant confessional transformation it is necessary the concept of ecumenical tourism, which is a complex phenomenon that is based on the theological principle-ut unum sint‖ (that all may be one), the return to Christian unity from a beginning. Applying the theoretical model DSPIR (EEA, 2011, F. Kineast, WSL, 2012) which describes the interactions between contemporary society and religious landscape, we can value and enhance optimally the information about the religious patrimony of the Archdiocese of Lower Danube.

Current development of tourism is characterized by a profound renewal of the world tourism offer, in particular by developing a range of new tourism products, superior both qualitatively and quantitatively. Romanian tourism revival will involve reshaping the development of tourism products based incentives at national and international tourism. Currently, the Romanian tourism, as otherwise the world is characterized by fierce competition between destinations. Tourist destinations, be they state or country itself, are becoming increasingly need a new model of tourism policy which influence their competitive position in the current competition. A special role in perception destination in the competition of similar offers in the country is playing tourist brand or regional. Tourists and demanding consumers are an important factor for competitive advantage of a ...

In the water catchment area of the Danube, the effects of the major human intervention over the geographical area, especially over the large tributary rivers of this large stream, such as Argeș river, and also on most of the smaller running waters are harder and harder to monitor, to anticipate and to correct. The natural flowing regime of some tributary waters of the Danube has been considerably changed; thus, significant changes happen to the hydrological, physical-chemical and biological features of the waters through the emergence of some lake ecosystems, with a fragile balance. Important changes emerge at the level of some physical-chemical and...

In this regard, in the recent years, the Gura Humorului resort city developed in terms of accommodation and facilities. The achievement of strategic objective for tourism development requires appropriate policies for different branches of industry, namely: the policy of tourism product aims at modernizing and expanding the Romanian tourism, increasing its competitiveness and attractiveness on the national and international market; marketing and promotion policy must ensure the creation of a real image of Romania, designed to stimulate the national and international tourism demand. While Gura Humorului resort presents an outstanding tourism potential, it is not fructified, which pushes away tourists and it imprints a chain reaction for all those involved in the tourism phenomenon in the city a...

A brand has no borders and should fight to have a word, symbol image in the minds of consumers. But the branding, it becomes difficult to apply in practice. Tourism product is a special case, especially since it's like the service, intangible. Country brand is organized around the tourism and the economical potential of that country. So the country brand is organized around tourism and economic potential of that country. Brand means ideas, feelings, values, combinations of words or images. If you could choose one word to explain the term "brand", it would be "identity". Just try this with what the nation wants to be the brand: the discovery of a country's identity.

Tourism demand continues to be severely affected by unforeseen events associated with the current global health crisis, which has led to an examination of ways to predict the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism. Tourism flow forecasting relating to arrivals is of particular importance for tourism and the entire hospitality industry, because it is an indicator of future demand. Thus, it provides fundamental information that can be applied in the planning and development of future strategies. Accurate forecasts of seasonal tourist flows can help decision-makers increase the efficiency of their strategic planning and reduce the risk of decision-making failure. Due to the growing interest in more advanced forecasting methods, we applied the ARMA model method to analyze the evolution of monthly arrival series for Romania in the p...

To a new report "Euro barometer" survey on the attitudes of Europeans towards tourism emphasized that the tourism industry has passed the economic crisis confirmed by the indicators.

These changes regarding the natural ecosystems have been, in most cases, contradictory to what can be understood through the concept of sustainable development of the natural capital. The pressures made on the environment, through various human activities, such as the animal husbandry, the intensive over-exporting and, sometimes, the illegal exporting of wood, industrial development, the building of communication systems have led to the development of environmental problems, of some negative effects whose costs had been either underestimated or not considered and which had been much higher reported to the benefits of human intervention. Even some activities that were considered clean, from the perspective of their impact on the natural ecosystems, such as...

The article analyzes the necessity of studying efficiency within services. At the same time, the analysis focuses on the main perspectives of efficiency in this area: classical perspective and systemic perspective.

The economic crisis has affected the whole world and it has made its mark also on the tourism activities. The tourism resources have a special importance in the Danube area. The diversity of the relief, the multitude of species of flora and fauna create possibilities for development as a niche type of tourism. The analysis of the main indicators of the tourism traffic has found significant changes in terms of tourism activity along the Danube valley. In this article it is considered the area strongly influenced by the river, consisting of the 12 counties bordering the Danube Caras-Severin, Mehedinti, Dolj, Olt, Teleorman, Giurgiu, Calarasi, Constanta, Ialomita, Braila, Galati, Tulcea.

In the beginning, we have defined competitiveness, as the prerequisite of market success, we have analyzed its components and the main factors that determine it, as well as the competitiveness – competitive advantage relation. During the last years, competitiveness has turned into one of the common concepts used in order to approach and describe the sustainable development of the tourism and travel industry. Expert literature has defined concepts such as tourism and travel competitiveness or touristic destinations competitiveness, suggesting not only the significance of the concept but also the emphasis that touristic organizations should lay on this aspect. The competitiveness of touristic destinations and, generally speaking, the global competitiveness of...
