“The Safety of Tourist” - Required Community Standard
Abstract
This work is part of a broader project that goes over the course of three years and it demonstrates that the need for the establishment of a service authorities of tourism. The information submitted is based upon the analysis at the national level of the need for the establishment of a service of public policy. Tourism has proved to be a rescue and effective solution for many countries of the world and for those who have realized that the fun and relaxation contributes directly to enhance national "I". Without attempting to analyzein terms of economic-financial income or benefits of a well developed tourism, we proposed to put into question an item associated with the development of this area, of primary importance in tourism. TravelGuard is already a tradition in many countries. Surprisingly we found and analyzed as Thai authorities agreed, Dominican, or Malaysian need to set up such a structure. We overlooked that there is a similar service in India, Brazil or Peru. We must recognize that the European Union, to the surprise of Greece, is considered necessary to set up a structure of tourism. Tourist Police in Greece is a Department of the Greek police officers, which have special training and speak foreign languages. Romania enjoys a rich tourism potential, the authorities have abandoned it, leaving to self-destruct numerous sights and monuments of culture. Sadly we forgot two very important issues, namely: we can access funds for the development of a moderninfrastructure, key to attracting tourists from overseas and the tourism security. Our interest is to demonstrate and convince the central responsible authorities, on the necessity and usefulness of social and economical establishment of police Tourism under different forms of organization. Such a Department would create new jobs, would trigger a system in which it would inevitably involve both central and local administrative authorities and public order. The economic advantage should not be forgotten which would attract tourists.The Romanian State, in order to have had an attractive and profitable tourism it must turn into a leading provider of safety.
