Description
Summary:The aim of the present study is to emphasise the utility of hierachization in the field of tourism, utility proved through the creation of a tourist attractiveness index based on both quantitative and qualitative features. This index, besides determining the hierarchical position of each tourist attraction, proves useful for pointing out the most important tourist areas of Neamt County, these results being obtained through data collection and analysis and through the creation of primary indices. The outcome of this study is, therefore, a generally applicable instrument for any tourist hierarchization approaches, whose efficiency is discussed in the end by comparing the values obtained for each territorial unit of the county through the use of this instrument with the values assigned to the same units by the Spatial Planning of National Territory. In this way are highlighted the advantages this method of hierarchization brings to the process of evaluation of tourism potential, as well as its faults.
