| Summary: | Tourism is a vulnerable sector, as it is increasingly exposed to several risks, which can sometimes feature adverse effects. Each tourist destination is unique, being exposed to different risks. Choosing a destination depends - to a large extent - on the degree of safety it offers to tourists and on the existence of a clean environment. In the mind of the tourist services' consumer, the feeling of safety associated with the destination and risk factors are strongly linked, generating the overall picture he or she is making about the destination. Safety and security represent a key factor in the stability of an area that accommodates tourists, as is the case of the town of Sulina. This is a geographically isolated locality, but it has an attractive and favorable location for practicing various forms of tourism (cultural tourism, ecotourism, sport tourism, adventure tourism, helio-marine tourism, cruising, air gliding, and so on) against the background of the unique landscape scenery (combining the landscapes offered by the Danube, the Sea and the Danube Delta). Awareness of the risks associated with the town of Sulina offers the tourist the possibility of carefully considering them, in order to increase the level of protection of the tourists as consumers. |
