Administrația publică, turismul și dezvoltarea durabilă

Abstract

Sustainable development has definitions according to the circumstances. In a muchvisited fragile area of the countryside the focus may be on sustaining the physical environment by public administration taking steps to prevent long-term damage. In another place the accent may be on the role of public administration on sustaining the viability of the local economy, or maintaining the authenticity of the community’s artistic traditions. For an office in a national park, sustainable tourism may mean achieving a proper balance for visitors between access and enjoyment; for a small hotelier it may simply be a question of wanting to ensure the family business survives another year.
