This report delves into the cultural tourism landscape of Romania, specifically analyzing Timisoara's designation as the European Capital of Culture in 2021. It begins by exploring various cultural tourism products and their connection to the Romanian market, including music, art galleries, archaeological monuments, and historical buildings, and how these can attract tourists. The report then evaluates the Mc Kercher and Du cross diagram (2002) to identify different types of cultural tourists, such as serendipitous, purposeful, incidental, casual, and sight-seeing tourists, and how Romania can cater to each. Furthermore, the report examines the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts of Timisoara hosting the European Capital of Culture, discussing both the benefits of increased tourism, urban regeneration, and international profile, and the potential drawbacks of overcrowding and security risks. Finally, the report applies Butler's Tourism Area Life Cycle model to assess the destination development of Timisoara, highlighting the stages of exploration, involvement, and development to understand how to attract more tourists and boost the region.
