Challenge description
Somcuta-Mare is a city from Maramures County, located in the historical region of Transylvania, Romania. With a surface of 120.40 km sq, the city of Somcuta-Mare has a population of 8043 inhabitants and it administers seven villages. In its urban development challenges, tourism has been prioritised as the main domain that highly demands the realization of projects that focus on disease prevention, with the aim of planning a sustainable tourism ecosystem, based on the main tourist attractions (Chioar Fortress, Fersig Forest Reserve, Buteasa Wooden Church, Valenii Somcutei Cave Natural Reserve, Mesteacan Village) and its rich thermal water resources that have not been exploited for decades and that can contribute significantly to the attractiveness towards people who have left the city abroad. At the county level, there are certain initiatives to support the tourism, but strictly at the level of the city of Somcuta-Mare, such practices are lacking. That is why it is extremely important to support a sustainable tourism through various measures to increase its capacity.
