Abstract


Abstract: In a global world, it arises stringently the need to discover ones identity and the national values. In Romania, in a preserved patriarchal atmosphere of the traditional village the communities have conserved the spiritual manifestations and identity by speech, clothing, architecture, traditions and customs. In this respect, the Almăj Valley from Caraş-Severin County is representative, due to its natural, cultural and geographical uniqueness which represent an increased potential for the rural tourism. The present study was focused to reveal and analyze the three major axes in forming the local identity of the region: demographic, geographical-natural and cultural identity, highlighting the peculiarities of the Almăj Valley community. This study is a helpful tool for the future branding strategies in this region, in order to promote this promising area for the tourism purposes.
