ABSTRACT: On religious tourist movement. Case study on Nucet
Monastery, Dâmboviţa County. One of the most important religious pilgrimages,
with a remarkable dynamics from year to year, is the one that takes place at
Nucet Monastery, in Dâmboviţa County. More precisely, the pilgrimage to Crucea
de Leac (the Healing Cross), located in close proximity to the monastery, on the
Life-giving Spring. The monastery dates back to the early sixteenth century and
its foundation is attributed to boyar Gherghina Pârcălab, one of Prince Radu the
Handsome’s uncles. Throughout time, it has undergone many transformations. In
1940, it was abandoned and it was re-established as monastery in 1994. The study
aimed to highlight the profile of the high number of pilgrims attending this
event - reaching several thousands and increasing every year - and to issue some
recommendations on how to increase its attractiveness and economic impact. In
this regard, I prepared a questionnaire for 119 subjects who participated in the
pilgrimage on the Life-giving Spring, celebrated on the 6th of May 2016. The
results of this survey, the conclusions I have drawn and the recommendations I
have issued are the subject of this material.
