Using GIS Techniques to Create the Catalog of Romanian Ski Resorts

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to use the geographical and geomorphological information by means of GIS techniques in order to create an atlas book (catalog) of the Romanian ski resorts. The methodology used to create the atlas aimed to create unitary, complete and complex maps for all Romanian resorts. The maps contain all the necessary information for tourists in order to choose the suitable resort, either for a level of training, preference or depending on proximity in relation to their location. The utility of this work is sustained by the necessity of having such a catalog in Romania that provides a wide range of information. The English version of this atlas could very well attract foreign tourists. All in all, the goal is to promote Romania as a touristic destination on an internal and international level.
