P. Carp, I. I. C. Bratianu, dr. I. Cantacuzino, Tache Ionescu, Ion Pillat, P. Stirbei, Spiru Haret, Alexandru Davilla etc.
Following the example of S.K.V. (Transylvanian Carpathian Society), the members of the management of S.T.R. established sections in locations throughout the country - Iasi, Turnu Severin, Ploiesti, Tg. Jiu, Bacau, Campulung Muscel.
The most important accomplishments: The construction of the Grindu house in Piatra Craiului Mountains, a mountain chalet on Negoiu Mountain and the publication of an annual magazine.

Carpathian
Society

In Transylvania, among the private tourist organizations, a remarkable activity was done by the Transylvanian Carpathian Society (Siebenburgische Karpathen Verein - S.K.V.), founded in 1880, with headquarters in Sibiu. Its aim was to cultivate the tourist spirit, making known and accessible to urban populations the natural beauties of the Carpathians.
The society's activities were centered on the Fagaras, Cibin and Sebes Mountains, extending gradually to Piatra Craiului, Bucegi, Parang, Caliman and Rodna.
In 1920 the association numbered 4456 paying members, which contributed to the development of the mountain tourism by organizing excursions, guide schools, first-aid posts, trails and marked trails totaling an average 700 km. S.K.V. build mountain shelters in mountain areas. Regarding tourism propaganda, the association edited brochures, maps, illustrated post cards and an annual magazine -"Jahrbuch für Siebenburgische Karpathen Verein", which described excursions, photos and association events.

Even before the establishment of S.K.V., in 1873 in Brasov was founded the Transylvanian Alpine Association, (Siebenburgische Alpen Verein in Kronstadt), with the aim of researching the
Carpathians, the improvement of communication and access routes and organization of mountain trips. This tourism association later merged with S.K.V.
In 1926 was established the association TURING - CLUB ROMANIA (T.C.R.) taking over the patrimony of the Travelers' Inn and adopting, from its creations, the slogan: "Trough tourism to knowing and loving Romania". T.C.R. saw an intense development especially after 1935 when through the gradual incorporation of other tourism associations in Muntenia and by the adhesion of numerous members, T.C.R. becoming the most powerful tourism association in Romania.
Its activity extended in Transylvania, where were present, well known tourism association "Fratia Munteana" (Mountain Brotherhood), established in Cluj, in 1921 by the well known cave scientist Emil Racovita, with the aim of cultivating the love for the unspoiled wilderness of the mountains and organizing excursions in mountain ranges.
The Mountain Brotherhood was incorporated in 1925 by the T.C.R., when there were a lot of sections created: Apuseni Mountains, Retezat (1933) with headquarters in Deva, Maramures (1934) with headquarters in Sighet, Arad (1936) with headquarters in Arad, Satu Mare (1936), Fagaras Mountains (1938) with headquarters in Sibiu, Bucegi Alpine Section (1938) with headquarters in Sinaia.
Among the preoccupations of T.C.R. was the organization of collective excursions, ski courses and competitions, tourism propaganda conferences, celebrations, mountain trail maintenance - two thirds in the mountains of Transylvania - construction of shelters in isolated ranges (Bucegi - 2; Garbova - 1; Cristianu Mare - 1; Retezat and Valcan - 4; Apuseni - 5; Tara Oasului - 1; Maramures - 1; Rarau - 1).
After the great communist nationalization, in 1948 T.C.R. transformed into A.T.P. - Peoples'Tourism Association.
