“…In addition, Sibiu was awarded in 2007 with the title of European Capital of Culture that boost the economy of the city (Richards and Rotariu, 2007;Mitrut and Constantin, 2009). However, the current target for Sibiu city, from tourism perspective, is that tourists need to spend more than one night in hotels in Sibiu or region (Nicula et al, 2013) that is hard to be reached after 2008 (Bodosca et al, 2014). However, accessing new political commitments such as the European Region of Gastronomy award, may develop regional economy based on culinary tourism extended in rural areas (Sasu and Epuran, 2016).…”

Plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) came into the worldattention due to their genetic erosion upon the adoption of the International Treatyon Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Plant Treaty) in 2001.Among these, landraces are recognized for their value when are maintained in thesame agro-ecosystem for more than 50 years. However, food security as a complexand sensitive subject, is acting between national and local levels and depends onsocio-economic attributes of rural societies deeply embedded in the history of theplace grounding the traditional knowledge (TK) related to local communities'lifestyle. In the past 25 years Romania lost more than 75% of its own plant geneticresources based on recorded official data, even its economy depends on the activityof more than 69% small landowners (i.e. over 800,000.00). From economic pointof view, such type of agriculture is not productive. However, 32% of the todayRomania’s territory is declared as protected areas and most of these arable landsare in buffering zones or inside protected areas. Studying the village Ațel, fromSibiu county, Valea Târnavelor (i.e. in the buffering zones of protected areas),reveals that rural areas are rich pools of landraces that have been preserved andcultivated by at least 50% of local householders for more than 50 years (i.e. wheat,corn, rye, barley, oats, peas, cabbage, beans, onions, lettuce, spinach, celery,parsley, garlic, carrot, dills). The poorness of these villages in the today economicterms is counteracted by the richness of biodiversity, TK, PGRFA and localgastronomy. The scope of this article is to envisage original approaches, forconnecting local TK to economy based on gastronomic tourism that may providethese villages the chance to become part of it.

“…Tourism policy could accelerate or decline regional development of tourism (Goh, Li, Zhang, 2015; Williams, 2009), i.e., regional development of cultural tourism. Nowadays, from that aspect, regional tourism policy is very popular which can be a focus on the development of regional tourism product (Hottola, 2009;Nicula et al, 2013), i.e., cultural tourism product. That includes usage of regional tourism resource (Chen et al, 2015;Du Rand, Heath, 2006;Peters et al, 2011), i.e., regional cultural tourism resource.…”

The study tries to explain the influence of regional affiliation on employees' perception of tourism policy in the sector of cultural tourism. The main aim is to explore whether there is a difference between regional affiliations of employees and employees' perception of tourism policy in the sector of cultural tourism in Montenegro. The survey was conducted using the interviewing, and the main statistical procedures were factor analysis and multivariate analysis of variance. Research outcome is a significant difference between employees in the northern and the coastal region of Montenegro, in the employees' perception of the importance of measures and activities of tourism policy in the sector of cultural tourism. However, that difference could not significantly influence tourism policymaking process and the quality of specific tourism policy, which is intended for development of cultural tourism in Montenegro. Most of the significant differences depend on measures and activities, which do not directly influence the growth and development of cultural tourism that way. The study is inspired by the Erasmus+ CULTURWB project.
