THE SUSTAINABLE RECOVERY OF THE TOURISM'S POTENTIAL OF VEGETATION IN THE BASIN OF SUCEAVA RIVER
Our study followed in the first part, the analysis of the tourism potential of the natural vegetation within the basin of Suceava, the identification and description of the specific of tourism resources imposed by bio diversity, the drawing of cartographic representation of synthesis to reveal its potential volume and quality. In the second part, the data analysis and synthesis has allowed advancement of proposals for the development of tourism activities in sustainable development and the growing importance of this sector in all economic activities in the area and the NE Region.
Protected areas from the region of Suceava and its touristic valorization *
The study, based on specialised documentation of field research, of comparative analysis highlights opportunities within Suceava area and its surroundings regarding the touristic and scientific potential in the dendrological park Sipote and six natural reservations of flora and forests. As a result we can distinguish species of plants, glacial relics, trees and forested areas which are very valuable and attractive biologically, ecologically, educationally and touristically. The endemic elements are very important from a scientific point of view for the researchers because they make it posible to reconstitute the evolution of flora and fauna. Together with the sheltered climate and the clean air, flora offers many opportunities to the polyvalent tourism through the charm and the vivid colours during flowering, providing a place of quietness and inner balance. The ecosystems within Suceava area have a valuable and attractive potential which offers the opportunity to know, investigate and inform specialists from different areas such as ecotourism, educational tourism, agrotourism and rural tourism for other categories of visitors.
Trade, exchange rate, and agricultural pricing policies in Thailand
Thailand is still largely an agricultural country. In 1984, agricultural work was still the main source of earnings for more than 70 percent of the population. For much of the 25 year period covered by this report, government intervention in the prices of rice, maize, and natural rubber was extensive. For these products, intervention took the form of explicit export taxes and restrictive quotas. Sugar, on the other hand, was imported until 1960. For many years prior to that, government policy was to encourage growers and thus achieve self-sufficiency. One conclusion of this study is that the Thai sugar industry would have shrunk dramatically if the government had refrained from intervention. Intervention in the prices of rice and natural rubber had the effect of penalizing farm producers by reducing their output prices. There was, as a consequence a shift of resources towards Thailand's small industrial sector. In 1981, the Thai government lifted its quota restrictions, and liberalized its trade by eliminating its intervention in the maize, rice, sugar and natural rubber markets. Unfortunately for export growers, however, the gradual elimination of intervention was overshadowed by sharp declines in the world prices of Thailand's major agricultural exports.
