In females reared in individual crates until early control of gestation and in common crates (8-16 heads), prolificacy did not reach values that differ depending on the rearing system: there is a ...statistically insignificant difference in t-test (p>0.05). In gestating sows reared in individual crates, the difference was significant during the entire gestation period compared to group rearing: 11.51±0.85 compared to only 11.13±0.68 in collective rearing. Though there are better results from the point of view of sows’ prolificacy when reared in individual crates during the entire gestation, this rearing system is not recommendable because of the high financial efforts caused by technology and because separation has negative influences on sows’ behaviour depending on reproduction and health state of gestating females.

There are many forms of tourism destinations: they depend on the forms of tourism and are identified separately and promoted as visiting sites where tourism products are coordinated by one or several ...identifiable authorities, coast areas, urban or rural areas that attract tourists wishing to enjoy man-made or natural resources. Though the classification of tourism destinations is difficult because one and the same destination can be classified in one or several main categories of tourism destinations, they can be heritage and cultural destinations, destinations for tourists only, cities for business and conferences, large tourism cities, coastal areas, rural areas with many green areas and fresh air that supply facilities for the practice of hunting tourism, horse riding, white sports, or hiking. Each area can become a local tourism destination if visitors spend at least one night in the area and if there are tourism products supplied as services and attractions and mainly as tourism resources.
Tourist products express the training way and content of tourism offer, being a sum of material goods and services designed to meet the requirements and motivations of tourists. Tourist services are ...individualized through a lot of characteristics: elasticity of consumption, the material or immaterial existence, the impossibility of storing, the simultaneity of consumption with the production one, the impossibility of avoiding some differences. The structure of Banat tourist products focuses on several essential components because of the multiculturalism of this area, but also specific entrophic and natural resources, natural reservations, historic sites, great diversity of flora and fauna due temperate or sub-Mediterranean climate subtypes. Economic activities as support of agricultural occupations have trends of orientation towards the tertiary sector stimulating the growth of niche tourism, of multiethnic space and multi confessional, being the supporting element of tourist services offered and through and through multilingualism increase the identity of culture and civilization. The economic rural activities, population and territory offers to Banat rural tourist product a note of originality, authenticity and attractiveness, the novelty of Banat village consisting from manufacturing activities, habits and popular, the traditions archaic mulinologic installations and technical oil extraction, gastronomy, natural monuments, monastic religious services, diversity of hilly and steppe landscape.
For decades, tourism research has focused on issues such as tourist benefits, tourist behavior, socio-cultural and environmental impact of tourism activities, tourist-host interaction, tourist ...motivation, tourism planning and development, tourist satisfaction or the economic significance of tourism in tourist destinations. The latest research trend in tourism shows that, although the economic importance of tourism is recognized, the evaluation of the value of tourism activities focuses more and more on the quality of life of tourists, their satisfaction and wellness, abstract forms of value, quality of life, sustainable business practices and the feeling of wellness. Although it has many elements in common with health tourism, this modern form of tourism, wellness tourism, differs from it being an alternative or supplement to an over-the-counter medical treatment, focusing more on the pleasure or sensations that the tourist or visitor you can feel them at a destination during your stay, adding added value to tourist products.
Luxury tourism, a form of niche tourism that although requires high financial resources, is considered a very good quality tourism, characterized by uniqueness and the image of the brand. Luxury ...tourists, consumers of services/luxury products want unique experiences and provide them with the best logistics for the hospitality industry because they have free time and financial power depending on income, they are super rich, elite of the table and medium luxury. Luxury tourism for a good deployment, involves transportation logistics, accommodation, luxury restaurants, but lately there is more and more discussion of a type of multisensory marketing that aims to provide integrative products and services that communicate positive feelings to customers through the body, because sensation management has become somewhat an obsession in contemporary consumer capitalism, luxury tourism being practiced in all corners of the world due to high demand and power e purchase of offers of services/luxury tourist products.
Mangalitza pig (
) becomes more popular in European countries. The goal of this study was to evaluate the fatty acid profile of the raw and thermally processed Mangalitza hard fat from Northern ...Romania. For the first time, the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-Principal component analysis technique (GC-MS-PCA)-was applied to evaluate the dissimilarity of Mangalitza lipid fractions. Three specific layers of the hard fat of Mangalitza from Northern Romania were subjected to thermal treatment at 130 °C for 30 min. Derivatized samples were analyzed by GC-MS. The highest relative content was obtained for oleic acid (methyl ester) in all hard fat layers (36.1-42.4%), while palmitic acid was found at a half (21.3-24.1%). Vaccenic or elaidic acids (trans) were found at important concentrations of 0.3-4.1% and confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. These concentrations are consistently higher in thermally processed top and middle lipid layers, even at double values. The GC-MS-PCA coupled technique allows us to classify the unprocessed and processed Mangalitza hard fat specific layers, especially through the relative concentrations of vaccenic/elaidic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Further studies are needed in order to evaluate the level of degradation of various animal fats by the GC-MS-PCA technique.
Agrotourist movement in rural areas is influenced by several factors of economic, psychological, demographic, natural or circumstantial nature. Along with increasing of the incomes and exceeding the ...critical level of satisfaction only of consume requirements intensifies the agrotourist circulation and regarding tariffs practiced, they can have an inhibiting effect if they increase or will promote tourist flows if they decrease. The agrotourist motivation has a major influence, being the one that determines the tourist to move from his place of residence, this referring to the demands, impulses, desires, with personal character and intentions to spend their holidays in the country. Farm agrotourism is an activity of which raw material is represented by the environment surrounding and from the farm, their attractiveness, elements that develop a wide range of shapes, capable of responding to various reasons to spend a holiday in rural area. Through the diversification of agrotourist activities it will improuve the economic activity of the farms with specific and will increase the incomes additional obtained in farms at a time when the main activity is not so intense.
The cultural patrimony preserves the memory and identity of the Banat’s rural area, defining the personality specific to each locality depending on the colonizing ethnic group after the liberation ...from the Turkish yoke. Steadily degrading, this baroque sculptural patrimony must be saved and integrated into a tourist circuit through the development of a managerial strategy and the implementation of a total quality management that cover the widest area possible of issues related to the intact preservation of monuments and to their conservation. The valorisation of monumental baroque sculpture in the rural area must be done together with the development of a managerial strategy of sustainable development thus contributing to the making up of an emblematic image specific to the Banat village and to the inclusion into regional, national, and international tourist circuits through such modern forms of tourism as cultural tourism, rural tourism, heritage tourism, interethnic tourism, religious tourism, and business tourism.
From an economic and social point of view, hunting tourism has two sub-categories: resident hunting and tourism hunting (for the travellers who travel long distances to participate in hunting). ...Tourism hunting covers six types of tourism: subsistence indigenous hunting, traditional hunting, commercial hunting, recreational-sport hunting, integrated hunting, and optimum level game maintenance hunting. Hunting tourists should be classified into three distinct categories: large game hunting tourists (for whom what matters is adventure and trophies), small game hunting tourists (interested in the hunting experience), and experienced hunting tourists (characterised by the use of frontal charge guns or arrow shooting). Hunting tourism can be considered a sub-category of nature tourism because it contributes to the preservation of area biodiversity, of cultural tourism as educational, cultural activity, and of sustainable tourism in protected areas (ecotourism) whose hunting tourism sub-category is trophy hunting.
International tourism is the most dynamic component of tourism circulation. According to prognoses, the number of tourists worldwide is steadily increasing in 2008, after the record year 2007, ...despite economic uncertainties. In 2007, there have been 898,000,000 tourists that took trips to certain areas of the world, with 6.2% more tourists than in 2006. The main tourism destinations were France and Spain, but as far as international tourism circulation per regions is concerned, the most considerable growth compared to 2006 was that of the Middle East (13.4%), followed by Central America (11.1%) and Africa (7.9%). Europe has a growth of only 4.2% in 2007, compared to the reference year 2006, but despite all this, it still ranks first from the point of view of the total number of visitors (480,100,000 tourists), which recommends it as a main cultural destination worldwide.
