Services / business tourism includes events <strong>of</strong><br />
limited duration that can be held in two-threeday<br />
packages such as conferences, festivals,<br />
service and products <strong>of</strong> regional industries<br />
fairs etc. This tourism typology does not<br />
depend on transport costs, but on the quality<br />
and efficiency <strong>of</strong> services and human capital<br />
values <strong>of</strong> the region.<br />
The Regional Development Agency no. 2 and<br />
the municipalities <strong>of</strong> the region should build<br />
a common, clear and integrated strategy for<br />
the development <strong>of</strong> this type <strong>of</strong> tourism. They<br />
should encourage the spirit <strong>of</strong> cooperation<br />
between stakeholders to provide daily or<br />
weekend packages, accompanied by tour<br />
guides and quick access to services.<br />
The Regional Tourism Board should develop<br />
strategies to promote annual events, based<br />
on supporting infrastructure, territorial poles,<br />
human values, business products and services.<br />
The agency and the municipalities should<br />
promote cooperation between stakeholders<br />
to integrate regional values, assets and<br />
capital into tourist packages. The plan aims at<br />
supporting and developing assets, as follows:<br />
• Human resources: building knowledge<br />
packages for this service typology, as well as<br />
creating certification opportunities. Providing<br />
continuous teaching through academia and<br />
SMEs cooperation to certify tourism services;<br />
• Creating tourist poles, attractive for<br />
investments, equipped with quality services in<br />
physical and electronic infrastructure;<br />
