SUSTAINABILITY ENGAGEMENT OF ROMANIAN TOURISM INTERMEDIARIES

The tourism industry is largely dependent on preserving the environment, focusing attention on local and authentic resources, and also on the contribution to the development of local communities. Such results depend, to a large extent, on tourism stakeholders, and tourism intermediaries play an important role in this attempt. The article presents an assessment of sustainability engagement of Romanian travel agencies. 10 tourism intermediaries were evaluated, out of which 7 intermediaries are the best-known Romanian tour operators and 3 intermediaries were selected from Brașov County. The results highlight an almost total lack of interest and implication towards implementing sustainable measures.
