and since then more than 45 cities from Europe have benefited of the status of Cultural
Capital of Europe but only one Romanian city, Sibiu in 2007. To see the implications that
this program has on tourism field and in what way it contributes to the development of this
sector from the cities it will be analyzed the case of Sibiu, former Cultural Capital of
Europe and Cluj Napoca that wants to have this title in the future. In the case of Sibiu
several indicators will be taken into consideration. Their analysis will emphasize the
relevance of this program within the tourism sector. The above mentioned indicators are:
tourist’s arrivals, tourist’s check-ins, accommodation capacity. Besides these indicators
there will be also considered other elements that have had an impact on this program like:
type and structure of the events and the actors involved in the events' organization. In what
concerns Cluj Napoca, it will be analyzed the potential of the cultural heritage that is
present in the city at the present moment and in what way it can contribute to
the organisation of such program.These two cities are both from Transylvania and have a
similar geographical configuration, urban architecture and culture. |
