  17. Competitive advantage. Academicals support Here’s how Professor Duncan Light from Liverpool Hope University describes us: Your company is one of the few that understands the Western market for Dracula. Your product appears to be very innovative! For many Romanians Dracula means Vlad Tepes but for people from the UK, America etc. it means of course the vampire Dracula. I agree with those people who say that Dracula is a way to get foreign tourists into Romania creating an opportunity to show them all the other things the country can offer.

  18. Live tours and events. The general structure. • visiting and sightseeing : medieval castles and citadels as well as Transylvania's most important cities and museums • meeting craftsmen at their very workshop, tasting traditional food • participating to happenings set up especially for our tourists • a medieval Vampire Hunting, • an evening sitting in Maramures, • talking with the venerable artist Emil Muresan, the only one that paint using web spider • participating at the Ritual Killing of a Livind Dead (as seen on Travel Channel) • getting introduced in medieval techniques and tactics of fighting with the sword and shield
