CULTURAL – FOLKLORE EVENTS – PROMOTERS OF THE CULTURAL TOURISM
Abstract
In an era of overcalling output and of removing state borders, it is very important to know and to be able to identify ourselves. Cultural folklore holidays/festivals represent one of the most extensive and complex elements of the immaterial popular culture, acting as an icon because they integrate social, ethic, aesthetic, cultural values specific to a nation. Most tourists have looked for and will continue to look for this icon and to discover it during their holidays and journeys, wishing to know, to explore and to experiment other peoples’ culture and way of living.
