abstract: 'Purpose
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, sustainable
tourism is a form of tourism that meets the needs of present tourists
and host regions, while protecting and enhancing the opportunity for the
future. It aims at having a low impact upon the environment and local
culture; generating income and employment; and ensuring the conservation
of local ecosystems. This paper aims to examine the ways in which the
development and promotion of a new tourism product based on unique rural
heritage and traditions contribute to the development of sustainable
tourism by relating the practices to the sustainable development goals
(SDGs) 1, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 17.
Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on a literature review on the topic of sustainable rural
tourism, this paper uses a case-study methodological approach and
provides an example of a sustainable rural tourism destination from the
North Western development region of Romania (Cluj County, Transylvania)
to depict specific sustainable tourism practices. The study uses a
comprehensive desk-research based on secondary data from key industry
and academic sources.
Findings
The research findings show that sustainable rural tourism can greatly
support the development of rural destination and makes a significant
contribution to the sustainable development of the Romanian tourism
industry, in general, and rural economies in particular, as shown in the
case examined in the paper. Sancraiu represents an example of
sustainable tourism practices that contribute to poverty reduction (SDG1
- Target 1.A), provide decent work and ensure economic growth (SDG8 -
Target 8.9), help reducing inequalities (SDG10 - Target 10.3), protect
and safeguard the world''s cultural and natural heritage (SDG 11 - Target
11.4), promote responsible consumption and production (SDG 21 - Target
12.b) and last but not least this destination demonstrates that
development is only possible when partnerships are forged (SDG 17).
Social implications
This paper illustrates that fostering unique rural heritage and
traditions can contribute to the sustainable development of
destinations. Sustainable tourism practices contribute not only
financially to a destination but also to its social infrastructures,
jobs, nature conservation, adoption of new working practices and the
revitalisation of passive and poor rural areas.
Originality/value
This paper examines and depicts sustainable rural tourism development as
a transformative strategy contributing to the long-term viability of a
rural destination. The research findings can be viewed as an example of
good practice, which may be applicable to other geographic regions with
similar contexts.'
