Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The anthropic tourist fund becomes more and more important within the tourist heritage of the territorial system Albac – Arieșeni, due to its qualities of diversity, originality and uniqueness at a national and even world level. The tourist attractions constitute a touristic potential that can be valorised differently, according to the intensity and the means of perceiving the spiritual and cultural essence. In the context of the economic and social globalization, the way every nation can highlight its identity is by preserving and transmitting its spiritual and cultural values to the following generations. During the last decades, the tourist importance of the cultural and spiritual values has increased as they were introduced in the national and international tourist circuits.
