Abstract

Uricani town is the main entry gate to Retezat Nature Preserve. After having lost their calling of mining region, a tourism identity thereof has been sought to be created for Uricani and its component villages, C?mpul lui Neag and Valea cu Brazi. Thus, multifarious projects have been achieved having as main purpose the development and promotion of tourism in Uricani. C?mpul lui Neag and Valea cu Brazi localities offer a highly picturesque natural landscape, an unpolluted climate beneficial for people seeking relaxation and recharging of their physical and mental potential. At present these localities have an accommodation infrastructure that offers services to the tourists seeking mountaineering opportunities in the mountain massifs. Recharging programs can be achieved in this area for the benefit of people affected by stress, based on alternative techniques: Qigong, yoga, color therapy, melotherapy, in association with body care components. Classification-JEL: M13, Q59
