TURISM
n cadrul Strategiei de dezvoltare turistic a judeului Bihor au fost identificate un numr de 7 prioriti de dezvoltare: Turismul curativ; Ecoturismul i speoturismul; Turismul cultural i de patrimoniu; Turismul rural i agroturismul; Turismul de afaceri; Turismul cu mijloace neconvenionale (cu bicicleta, pe ap, clare, cu atelaje);

Turismul rural poate fi definit ca o form particular de turism bazat pe o anumit art a primirii turistului i a unui comportament diferit de cel practicat n mod obinuit n cadrul altor tipuri de turism.
Turistul nu este un client anonim, ci un oaspete primit ca un prieten, att de ctre persoanele care l gzduiesc, ct i de ctre ntreaga comunitate rural a satului respectiv. Primirea tradiional de bun calitate este o caracteristic indispensabil a turismului rural i reprezint totodat unul dintre principalele atuuri ale acestei forme de activitate. Primirea n mediul rural este n mare parte autentic i ancorat ntr-un mediu cultural. Fie c se afl la gazdele sale, fie c se afl n sat sau n spaiile aferente, turistul trebuie s perceap cldura, personalitatea i fora unei anumite tradiii. Agroturismul reprezint o tendin n cretere la nivel mondial, neexploatat din pcate nc suficient la nivelul judeului. Redescoperirea modului de viata tradiional este ns strns legat de educarea populaiei pentru cunoaterea i conservarea obiceiurilor i culturii locale, a meteugurilor i a gastronomiei autentice. Din acest punct de vedere, judeul Bihor prezint o ofert foarte bogat, indiferent de zona rural. Oferta agroturismului ( Vacana n gospodria rneasc) se deosebete de cea a turismului rural deoarece produsul trebuie s reflecte trsturile caracteristice ale gospodriei rneti (produse proprii, specialiti regionale, animale mici i pentru traciune, contact personal cu gazda, atmosfer tipic gospodriei rneti). Cele mai multe pensiuni turistice i agroturistice sunt concentrate n zona montan. Judeul Bihor deine 16,8% din suprafaa total a Munilor Apuseni i se nscrie n categoria judeelor cu potenial turistic ridicat. n prezent, n zona montan a judeului sunt amplasate cca 30 pensiuni Antrec.

Turismul curativ este legat n principal de turismul termal i n zonele nalte cu ionizare i ape minerale, pentru care exist deja o baz natural i material dezvoltat. Principalele puncte de atracie n Bihor sunt reprezentate de staiunile termale Felix, 1 Mai, Tinca i staiunea montan Stna de Vale. Ecoturismul este dezvoltat n judeul Bihor prin promovarea ariilor protejate i a Parcului natural Munii Apuseni. Bazat pe dezvoltarea durabil, acesta utilizeaz surse regenerabile ntr-o gama diversificat de activiti economice, favoriznd economisirea acestora. Arii protejate: Cetile Ponorului, Sritoarea Bohodeiului, Cheile Galbenei, Groapa Ruginoasa, Ghearul Focul Viu, Defileul Criului Repede, Colonia de psri de la Pdurea Rdvani, Dealul Pcu, Poiana cu narcise de la Goronite, Pdurea cu narcise Oorhei, Valea Iadului, Lacul Cico Speoturismul beneficiaz n judeul Bihor de un patrimoniu impresionant datorit multitudinii zonelor carstice. Parcul natural al Munilor Apuseni i arealele carstice protejate din jude sunt un paradis al practicanilor speologiei, parcursului de canioane i alpinismului. Turismul cultural i de patrimoniu este generat de interesul crescnd pentru cunoaterea diversitii culturale, istorice, arhitecturale i religioase a altor regiuni. n aceasta direcie, municipiul Oradea ct i alte localiti din jude dein un patrimoniu remarcabil, care pus n valoare i restaurat poate constitui puncte de atracie pentru vizitatori.

Dear reader, The present Guidebook wants to be an invitation for you and is meant to reveal you only several things among those through which we can truly know what BIHOR is. Bihor County is Romanias western gate. The region can charm you, to the same extent, with plains, hills and mountains, rivers and lakes, wonderful landscapes and natural riches, but, most of anything else, with industrious and hospitable people. That is probably one of the reasons for which a lot of foreign investors have chosen Bihor as location for developing business in different fields. Thanks to the opportunities and conditions offered to the visitors, their number is in a continuous growth and the role of this guide book is to put at their disposal useful and necessary information. One cannot say that You was in Bihor unless You discovered the historical centre of Oradea, the thermal water at Felix or the karstic formations in the Bears Cave, unless You wandered through the mountains area around Stana de Vale, or You angled at Cefa, participated at least one day in the Oradea Fall event, in the Blown Acacia festivity, or in the Fair at Vama Srii. However, beyond everything else, one cannot say that You was in Bihor unless You did not have the opportunity to meet the inhabitants of the region. That is why, dear friend, on behalf of all the Bihor Countys inhabitants and on behalf of the Bihor County Council, I take this opportunity to invite you to come and get to know us, here, where our home is!

KISS ALEXANDRU PRESIDENT OF BIHOR COUNTY COUNCIL

location: on Romanias western border economic structure - diversified industry, agricultural potential, financial - banking services resources: natural, material and human patrimony: touristic and cultural network of well developed roads and rails access: easy and fast from and to abroad infrastructure for business well developed education: dynamic and performant a high qualification level of labour force in different branches opportunities for investment in the Industrial Park of Bors and other areas

The first traces of human existence in Bihor county date back to the Palaeolithic (ca 50000-35000 BC) and they were discovered in several caves in the Crisul Repede Valley, at Vad. Some Neolithic settlements were also discovered on the territory of Bihor county, the oldest copper and gold artifacts discovered dating back to that same historical period. During the Bronze Age, a considerable growth of population was registered in the area showing not only in the ever greater number of settlements, but also in the remarkable progress and development of the material culture in these establishments. During the early Iron Age, the art of pottery knows a considerable evolution and improvement of technique, the pottery decorated by grooving standing proof thereto. As anywhere else in north-west Dacia, archaeological discoveries prove the Dacian people living in the Bihor territories actually made the history of free Dacia during the reigns of Burebista and Decebal. After the Romans conquered Dacia, present-day Bihor territories included the free Dacians living along the Cris rivers and the Barcau enhance and brace their economic and cultural relations with the

Roman world, with the Dacian-Roman people of Roman Dacia. The rich discoveries of coins attest to the free Dacians participation in the economic and cultural life of the Roman settlements along the Danube, in the Carpathians and along the Black Sea coast, as well as to their Romanisation within the larger framework of the Dacian-Roman rural world. On the Bihor territories, the Romanian communities of the 7th-11th centuries, despite the migration of several groups of Slavs, preserve their identity and build a state-like structure, the principality of Menumorut with its seat in the Biharea fortress, a strong bastion of the Romanians living in Crisana region. This is a period when the Romanian settlements and the Romanian material culture resume and continue the Dacian-Roman material and spiritual civilization. Despite the opposition of the Romanian population, the territories of present-day Bihor become a county within the territories conquered by the feudal Hungarian kingdom, the first suchlike county being attested at 1111. The Tartar invasion of 1241 strikes a blow at and breaks the feudalization process in Bihor, weakening the Hungarian rule and favoring, thus, the consolidation of the autochthonous dimension in the area.

The cultural life of Oradea and other settlements flourishes in Bihor county during the Enlightenment (1790-1830), the cultural effervescence materializing in the set-up, at the court of Samuil Vulcan, of the first Romanian Academy of Sciences (17801788), as it was named by Nicolae Iorga. Samuil Vulcan harbored, in Oradea, the leaders of Scoala Ardeleana (Transilvanian School) and printed in 1825 the RomanianLatin-Hungarian-German Lexicon. The famous libraries in Oradea still have in their book stocks important writes, books, literary manuscripts and political documents of that time.

After the 1821 Revolution, capitalist elements are ever more evident in the economy of the Romanian Principalities. The constitution of the Romanian national state and its joining the free European nations is, undoubtedly, essential and has a great influence on the national movement of the Romanians living under the foreign rules of the neighboring countries. The set-up of a famous gymnasium at Beius in 1828 an educational institution playing an essential role in training the Romanian intellectuals who were to become fighters for freedom is a very important cultural and political event of that time. The institution was masterminded by the scholar Samuil Vulcan, a supporter of the Enlightenment.

Geographical position. Bihor County is located in the northwestern part of the country, at the intersection of the 46th North parallel with the 22nd East meridian. It neighbors the Satu Mare, Salaj Counties, and Cluj Counties to the east, Arad and Alba Counties to its south and southeast, and Hungary to its west.

ORADEA METROPOLITAN AREA

Through its geographical location, the capital city of the Bihor County, Oradea Municipality is considered the entrance gate city. It connects the countrys west, center, east, and north on onehand, and on the other hand, it connects the western European countries to the eastern part of the continent and even to the countries in the Middle East. Romanias economic openness and its neighborhood with the Romanian Hungarian border, have led to the emergence of an increased number of domestic and foreign investments over 1990-2000. The phenomenon did not limit itself only to the Municipality of Oradea, but it also expanded itself at the level of its neighboring communes, where the price paid for land plots was lower. That is why investors from 65 countries were registered over 1990 2000 in Bihor County and the invested capital amounts to almost $400 million, from which 70% only in the Oradea Metropolitan area. This led to the step by step emergence of both development trends in Oradea Municipality toward its outer administrative boundaries and to the emergence of some expansion trends on behalf of the neighboring communes, toward the Oradea Municipality. Taking these aspects into account, and because it wanted to avoid any malfunctions of a functional, transport, networks, environment protection nature, or in the social, healthcare, education, and culture fields, the Oradea Mayoralty has considered it useful and even necessary to start a form of collaboration with the seven neighboring communes: Bor, Cetariu, Paleu, , Nojorid Oorhei, Snmartin and Sntandrei. The goal is to ensure a sustainable development of the area. The proposed cooperation form is that of a metropolitan area. The setting up of the Oradea metropolitan area aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of the area and at transforming it into an access gate from and toward the European Community, and into a possible area of transit and guidance of the European Community, Russia, and Orients economic interests. The Oradea metropolitan area, made up of Oradea Municipality and the communes: Bor, Cetariu, Paleu, Oorhei, Snmartin, Nojorid and Sntandrei has an area of 61,910 ha and a population of more than 250,000 inhabitants. The area offers many opportunities for investments both in the economic and in the tourism and real estate fields.

The length of the railway network on the countys territory amounts to 474 km. The county is crossed by the Vienna - Budapest Bucharest railroad, and by the Baia Mare Timioara railway.

TOURISM
In the framework of the county touristic development strategy there were identified 7 development priorities:

healthcare tourism; tourism for business; ecotourism; rural tourism; cultural and patrimony tourism; unconventional tourism (with bike, on water, on horseback, with carriages) cave tourism. The healthcare tourism is mainly related to the thermal tourism and to the high areas with ionization and mineral waters for which already exists a developed natural and material basis. The main attraction points in Bihor are the thermal spas Felix, 1st May, Tinca and the mountain station Stana de Vale. The tourism for business can be developed through organizing seminars, congresses, symposiums, conferences, business meetings, fairs and exhibitions. At the moment, the adequate infrastructure conditions can be provided to a certain extent by the Oradea municipality and Felix Spa. The ecotourism is developed in Bihor County through promoting the protected areas and the Apuseni Natural Park. Based on sustainable development, it uses regenerative sources coming from diversified economical activities, being favorable to their saving. The rural tourism represents an increasing tendency at the world level, unfortunately insufficiently exploited at the county level. But rediscovering the traditional way of life is closely related to the population education for being familiar and preserving the local culture and customs, the craftsmanship and the authentic gastronomy. From this point of view, Bihor county presents a very rich offer, regardless of the rural area. The cultural and patrimony tourism is generated by the increasing interest for discovering the other regions cultural, historical, architectural and religious diversity. In this direction, the Oradea municipality and also some other localities from the county have a remarkable patrimony, which capitalized and restored can be attraction points for visitors.

Unconventional tourism -by bike, on water, on horseback, with carriagesregisters an important growth, especially among the young western people. Developing specific lines and routes in the county, associated with an adequate marketing, represent decisive elements for the attraction of these potential tourists. Cave tourism benefits in Bihor of an impressive patrimony thanks to the multitude of the karstic areas. The Apuseni Natural Park and the protected carstic areas from the county represent a paradise for the practicants of speleology, canyon running and mountaineering. The ecotourism- protected areas: Cetile Ponorului, Sritoarea Bohodeiului, Cheile galbenei, Groapa Ruginoasa, Ghearul focul viu, Defileul Criului Repede, Colonia de psri de la Pdurea Rdvani, Dealul Pcu, Poiana cu narcise de la Goronite, Pdurea cu narcise Oorhei, Valea Iadului, Lacul Cico Rural tourism can be defined as a peculiar form of tourism, based on a certain art of welcoming the tourist and on a different behavior from that usually in practice in other forms of tourism. The tourist is not an anonymous client, but a guest received as a friend, both by the persons who host him/ her and by the entire rural community of the respective village. The traditional welcoming, of a good quality, is an indispensable feature of rural tourism. At the same time, it is one of the main trumps of this form of activity. Most part of the welcoming in the rural area is genuine and is part of a cultural environment. No matter where he/ she is, at his/ her hosts, or in the surrounding areas, the tourist must perceive the warmth, personality, and force of a certain tradition. Agrotourism offer (Holiday in a Peasants Household) is different from that of the rural tourism because the product must also reflect the peculiar features of the peasants household (its own products, regional special products, small animals and traction animals, personal contact with the host, atmosphere typical to a peasant household).

Starting with 1994, when ANTREC was established (The National Association for Rural, Ecological, and Cultural Tourism of Romania, a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit association, a member of the European Federation of Rural Tourism Eurogites), the development of rural tourism has expanded. Now, Antrec has many branches in the country, among which we can also list the Bihor County branch. The greatest part of the tourism and agri-tourism pensions is to be found in the mountain area. Bihor County holds 16.8% from the total area of the Apuseni Mountains and falls within the category of the counties with a high potential for tourism. Now, almost 30 Antrec pensions are in the mountain area of the county.
