Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to promote the treatment tourism, cultural-religious tourism, historical and recreational tourism, as main forms of tourism in Cacica. In the structure of the paper, first we analyze the theme regarding the tourist offer and the tourist effect of the Cacica Salt in the local economy. Secondly, we analyze and interpret the results obtained by applying a questionnaire to tourists from Cacica, tourists who have benefited from the services provided by economic agents who are providing services. The paper highlights the fact that tourism acts by its nature, both on the tourists directly and on the population in the isolated areas. The research analyzes some elements considered as decisive for the presence of tourists in Cacica, as well as the quality of the services they benefit from. By analyzing the tourist objectives, the events that take place on certain "holidays", it is assumed that the tourism contributes to a great extent of the economic and social development of Cacica, to the improvement of the living standard of the population in this area and to its recognition at national and international level. The study shows that the tourist demand leads to an adjustment of the offer, which materializes, among other things, in the development of the technical-material base of this sector and, indirectly, in stimulating the production of the branches participating in the construction and equipping of the accommodation and food, roads, the realization of transport means, recreational facilities. The documentation shows that tourists are motivated to choose the tourist resort of Cacica as a recreational, business and spiritual food for the soul. The natural, economic and social cultural environment, as well as the infrastructure, age, gender and education, are factors that influence the development of medical, religious and agro-tourism.
