The Romanian-American University celebrates today its 23rd anniversary!
Founded on the 17th of April 1991, the Romanian-American University is and will remain in history directly linked to the name of its founder, the late Professor Ion SMEDESCU, who used to say: "...we have created (the University) with all our mind and soul, in order to promote the educational values of the American system, amid the rich traditions of Romanian education", adding, "How right was Victor Hugo when he said: There is a force more powerful than all the armies of the world and this is an idea whose time has come. And indeed , the time has arrived. The University is a living reality, which ranks in the elite of Romanian higher education.".

In terms of intelligent business development, these days we are talking about a "knowledge-based society", being aware of customer needs, relating to these and creating the right product at the right time.
Starting from these assumptions, the Department of Tourism Services Management from the School of Domestic and International Economy of Tourism of the Romanian-American University of Bucharest is organizing a round table on the topic of "Information and Communication Technology - Gateway to New Perspectives in Tourism", hosting business environment specialists, teaching staff members, BA and MA students.

On June 4, 2014, the Senate Hall of the Romanian-American University gathered researchers and professionals from the academic fields of sustainable tourism and aviation and representatives from business operating in these areas, for the international round table "Sustainability beyond Borders: Aviation & Tourism setting together the Global (Travel) Scene".
Organized by the Romanian-American University in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University, the event highlighted the necessity of a sustainable approach, regardless of the business it applies to, but particularly in the fields of tourism and aviation.
Representatives of Manchester Metropolitan University, IATA, Regional Airport Services, ABC Aviation, TAROM, Aviation East, University Politehnica of Bucharest - Faculty of Airspace Engineering, PZP Arhitectura, Bucharest Airports contributed to the interactive debate and shared their ideas and approaches in order to figure out the best solutions for a sustainable tourism, aviation and education.
The necessity of collaboration, transfer knowledge and sharing expertise were the key elements of the debates. Particularly focusing on Romania, a challenge was set: collaborating to find a sustainable development strategy in Danube Delta, taking into consideration the Tulcea Airport. The reaction of the group of guests was positive and open to a further cooperation and in the nearest future, the project is scheduled to start.
Another major issue debated during yesterday's event, once again in the context of collaboration and sharing expertise, was the necessity of a closer cooperation between the academic field and the business environment. The business representatives explained how a well trained staff is mandatory for their companies, while students and academic professionals highlighted the importance of internships in order to achieve the required knowledge.
All the guests agreed on the necessity of cooperating in order to balance business necessities with academic knowledge and willingly embraced this approach.
Post-event echo - "Information and Communication Technology - Gateway to New Perspectives in Tourism" Round Table
Competitiveness, risk, uncertainty and intelligent business development represent nowadays the main preoccupations of organizations in all fields of activity. In the new world economic context, information and communication technology has a major impact on the dynamics and performance of the global market, directly influencing communication with clients, service provision efficiency and service customization. In terms of intelligent business development, these days we are talking about a "knowledge-based society", being aware of customer needs, relating to these and creating the right product at the right time.
Starting from these assumptions, the Department of Tourism Services Management from the School of Domestic and International Economy of Tourism at the Romanian-American University organized, on the 11th of June 2014, the round table on the topic of "Information and Communication Technology - Gateway to New Perspectives in Tourism".
The event hosted business environment specialists: tourism agencies (Loredana Stanciu from Accent Travel, Madalin Mancila from Happy Tour Group), hotels (Stefan Balaur from Continental Hotels, Gratiela Badicu from Le Boutique Hotel Moxa), specialists from national organizations (Dragos Raducan - FPTR, Camelia Rogojanu - ANPM), consultancy firms (Cristian Micut from Trend Hospitality, Irina Besciu from Young Skal), representatives of virtual media/bloggers with experience in online tourism (Petrus Lungu - gtd20.ro, Florin Arjocu - drumliber.ro, Carmina Nitescu - Tourism Market, Raluca Muresan - triptoromania.ro, Georgiana Velea - blogdecalatorii.ro), as well as teaching staff members, undergraduate students and master students from the School of Domestic and International Economy of Tourism.
The discussions touched upon various topics, from trends in digital tourism to the influence of social media in the choice of a holiday destination, and were chaired by Doina Grigoras (Business Development Manager, TEZ TOUR).
As a consequence of these debates, new project ideas were outlined to be pursued as a collaboration between the staff members of the Department of Tourism Services Management and representatives of the business environment, projects that mainly aim at the integration of new information and communication technologies both in the academic curricula and practice. These projects will include a component referring to social media communication between businesses, teaching staff from our school and students.
From the vantage point of new trends in the field, the dimension of e-tourism is, in the specialists and practitioners' view, an incommensurable one, generating in the near future radical changes on the tourism and travel industry market, changes that will impact not only the relational component (tourist service provider - consumer), but also that of margin achieved by economic agents in the field.

On Wednesday, the 17th of September at 7:00 PM we invite you to join us at the Humanitas from Cismigiu Library (Regina Elisabeta Blvd, No. 38) for a debate about the fascinating book of Yukio Mishima, "The Way of the Samurai", together with His Excellency, Mr. Kanji Tsushima, Mrs. Elisabeta Lasconi, Mrs. Mirela Murgescu, Mr. Gabriel Liiceanu, Mr. Stefan Liiceanu and the moderator Mr. Serban Georgescu, Director of the Department of Asian Studies within the Romanian-American University.
The discussion will be focused on the contribution of the samurai to defining the Japanese identity and their role in the contemporary Japanese society.
Yukio Mishima wrote "The Way of the Samurai" 3 years before his dramatic suicide. The volume contains a personal interpretation of the Hagakure, the classic code of ethics and conduct of the samurai. The book became a best seller in Japan immediately after Mishima's death, both the supporters and contenders of his political views referring to it in order to understand the final drama and the off stage details of Mishima's suicide in 1970.
Hagakure, in its original version, contains the teachings of the samurai-monk Jocho Yamamoto (1659 - 1719), gathered and edited by his student, Tsuramoto Tashiro. The Code was available to the general public only during the Meiji Era, when its principles of loyalty were interpreted in the sense of loyalty to the emperor and the Japanese nation.
"Mishima underlines the role that Hagakure had in his progress during the war and after it, presenting the likenesses between his own critic of the materialistic post-war Japan and the critics of Jocho to the high decadence of his contemporaries. Mishima is very close to Jocho in terms of personal morale views. The two of them seem to be fundamentally unsocial if we take into account the urgency in their seek for spiritual and physical perfection of self; they are both interested in the personal motivation and in how a person acts rather than what he/she achieves. The accent is always on the individual, whose ultimate goal is self-cultivation, instead of on the contribution that he/she has in the society.
The genius of Mishima was to apply the most severe social critic of the samurai ethics emanant from the Hagakure to the modern society. His fictional work often discusses the atomization of the modern society and the impossibility of the spiritual and emotional communication between people. But, in his late works, together with the desperation of the individual's isolation there is also the exaltion of the self-complacency. A hero of Mishima can do anything he want by himself, without any help and carrying about somebody else might think. This kind of attitude found its final fulfilment in Mishima's suicide for an emperor who did not care about his fate, for a cause that he knew he could not help with anything - and by his own hand."

Kimitaka Hiraoka was born in Tokyo, in 1925. His education was highly influenced by his patern grandmother, practitioner of the samurai way: self-discipline and full control over mind and body. When he first published in a magazine, at the age of 16, he chooses the pseudonym Yukio Mishima. In 1943 he starts studying law and in 1944 publishes his first book even though, because of the war, the Japanese state rationalizes the use of paper. During the first week it sells 4000 copies. Mishima was, at the time, a young intellectual who has a lungs' condition and is not conscripted to fight in the first line of the war. This is a shame that will haunt him for the rest of his life. His first novel, "Confessions of a Mask" (Romanian Translation: Humanitas, 2003; Humanitas Fiction, 2011), makes out of him the most well-known writer of the young generation and his fame grows with every published book. In 1952 he visits Greece and discovers in the god Apollo the ideal of beauty, health and strength. He wants to become like a Greek statue and starts working his body. His thundering career is doubled by the obsessive interest in the code of samurai, which will push him to the demonstrative suicide from 1970. Yasunari Kawabata, the Japanese writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1968, the one who supported Mishima while he was young, said: "Mishima has an extraordinary talent, he is not just a Japanese talent, he is an universal one. He is that kind of genius that arises once in 300 years. In terms of talent, Mishima is way ahead of me." Yukio Mishima remains one of the most interesting, but also controversial, Japanese writers of the 20th century.
