Promoting domestic tourism – the italian experience [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2024) Galanti, Roberto
Domestic tourism in Italy has seen significant growth in recent years, spurred by innovative government policies and effective marketing campaigns. This study analyzes the strategies adopted by Italy to promote domestic destinations, with a focus on the use of digital technologies and public-private partnerships. The results highlight the impact of these initiatives on the country’s image, tourist flows, and the local economy. The research explores the evolution of domestic tourism in Italy, focusing on the post-pandemic period. Through a quantitative analysis of official data and qualitative research based on interviews with key players in the tourism sector, the study identifies the factors that influenced the increase in domestic demand. Additionally, it examines the promotional tools used, such as media campaigns, online platforms, and loyalty programs. The findings underline the importance of adapting the tourism offer to the needs and preferences of Italian tourists, as well as the role of collaboration between the public and private sectors in promoting lesser-known destinations.
Microbiological assessment of bacterial contamination in boar semen from pietrain and duroc breeds [Articol]
(Technical University of Moldova, 2026) Bogdan, Victoria
Background: Boar semen used for artificial insemination must meet strict microbiological quality standards because bacterial contamination can negatively affect sperm viability, fertility, and biosafety in pig breeding systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of selected bacterial contaminants in semen collected from breeding boars. Materials and methods: Semen samples were collected from two boars belonging to different breeds (Pietrain No. 88730 and Duroc No. 39631) and microbiologically analyzed using selective culture media. Bacteriological examinations were performed by inoculating semen dilutions on Bile-Esculin Azide Agar for detection of Enterococcus spp., Endo Agar for identification of Escherichia coli, and Salmonella–Shigella agar for isolation of Salmonella spp. Results: The microbiological analysis demonstrated that Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp., and Salmonella spp. were detected only up to the third dilution of semen samples, with no bacterial growth observed in higher dilutions. Quantitative assessment indicated that the concentration of Escherichia coli reached 1.8 × 10² CFU/ml in Duroc semen and 4.0 × 10³ CFU/ml in Pietrain semen, while Enterococcus spp. were present at levels of 3.3 × 10² CFU/ml and 5.6 × 10² CFU/ml, respectively. In addition, Salmonella spp. were identified at concentrations of 1.5 × 10² CFU/ml and 2.2 × 10² CFU/ml, respectively. The occurrence of microorganisms only in the initial dilution suggests superficial contamination of semen, most likely originating from the preputial microflora or environmental sources during semen collection. In contrast, the persistence of Escherichia spp. in higher dilutions, together with their relatively high concentration, may indicate a higher initial bacterial load or an increased capacity of these bacteria to survive in the seminal environment. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of strict hygienic conditions during semen collection and handling in order to minimize bacterial contamination and to ensure the microbiological safety and reproductive quality of boar semen used for artificial insemination.
Traseul turistic ”Ecoul deportărilor din Republica Moldova” – intersecție istorică în domeniul turismului autohton [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2024) Antoci, Natalia
The role of tourism in the development, cultural formation, and broadening of people's horizons of knowledge, as well as their education and training to meet the cultural needs of tourists, has significantly increased. Through thematic tourism or cultural itineraries, the main cultural aspects of a country can be promoted. To be considered a destination, a place must have adequate tourism potential and, at the same time, meet other requirements related to infrastructure, complementary goods, and services, which can enhance its attractiveness, differentiate destinations, and target specific markets.
Aspecte de transpunere a cerințelor de sustenabilitate în calitate de criterii de clasificare a structurilor de primire turistică cu funcțiuni de cazare și de servire a mesei [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2024) Olărașu, Nicolae; Lupașcu, Tatiana
The development of Moldovan standards for sustainable tourism reflects a timely and innovative response to the increasing global demand for sustainable practices in the tourism industry. This initiative aligns with international frameworks, such as the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) criteria, while addressing the unique needs of Moldova’s tourism sector. The process involves a structured multi-phase approach, including the identification of new standardization themes, stakeholder consultations, and collaboration with Technical Committee 74 (CT 74). By integrating local specificity with international best practices, the effort ensures that Moldovan standards meet global sustainability benchmarks while remaining relevant to local challenges and opportunities. This effort is particularly relevant in the context of rising environmental challenges and the growing demand for responsible tourism. It positions Moldova as a proactive contributor to sustainable development, offering a replicable model for other countries.
Perspectivele implementării criteriilor de sustenabilitate în cadrul destinațiilor turistice din Republica Moldova [Articol]
(Universitatea de Stat din Moldova, 2024) Stepanov, Elena; Wagenseil, Urs
The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) establishes and manages global standards for sustainable travel and tourism through its four sets of criteria: Destination, Industry, MICE, and Attraction Criteria. These criteria, grounded in decades of global collaboration, provide a framework for sustainable management practices, emphasizing socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental impacts. They are designed to adapt to local conditions, making them versatile tools for various tourism sectors. The relevance of GSTC’s work lies in its alignment with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering responsible tourism development worldwide. By offering a foundation for accreditation, GSTC helps certify destinations, accommodations, and operators as sustainable, while its neutral and inclusive structure ensures global accessibility. This paper highlights GSTC’s innovative approach, bridging diverse geopolitical and cultural contexts to create a common language for sustainability. The integration of ISO and ISEAL standards further strengthens its credibility. The discussion underscores the utility of GSTC Criteria as guidelines for destinations, tools for education, and benchmarks for certification. The originality lies in GSTC's comprehensive yet adaptable framework, making it a cornerstone for sustainable tourism.
