Evaluation of the Cultural-Touristic Quality of the Network of Geographical Axes in the Romania Case Study: Bistrița-Năsăud County

Abstract

Abstract Cultural tourism is the idea that the cultural perception of a place has enough value to make it a travel destination. Communities characterized by a high level of cultural development are usually associated with a high level of satisfaction with living conditions and affluence. Religious tourism is that type of tourism that aims to visit religious buildings with spiritual implications. The notion of religion has developed from an understanding of the motivations of tourists. Religious tourism is part of cultural tourism, and a religious tourism package generally includes visits to churches and monasteries. In this research, we postulate that the creation and development of cultural attractions of a place to attract tourists also positively impact the living conditions of the local community, not only by increasing the availability of money but also by a change in the mentality of the inhabitants. This paper evaluates the development of the cultural axis by developing a cultural tourism indicator. The cultural tourism indicator aims to transform the county to promote cultural tourism by analyzing the level of development of cultural tourism infrastructure in the cultural axis of wooden churches Budurleni-Bungard-Cormaia. By comparing the cultural tourist systems of the cultural tourist axis of Bistrița-Năsăud County, a mathematical Evaluation Indicator and a chromatic system were developed to indicate through a table the qualitative value of the cultural tourist objectives of the geographic axes. With the evaluation of the axis that forms the basis of the research of the Cultural Tourism Axes, it is assigned a label of tourist and architectural quality value. Through the Structural Analysis, the Cultural Axes support the development of cultural products at the European level.
