Presently both the theoretical and practical aspects of sustainable development are interpreted in identical terms of growth. The main focus of our research is a rural area of the Carpathian Basin turning to tourism and renewable energy in order to cope with economic, demographic, cultural, and community-related challenges via residential, communal, and tourism-oriented solutions in a sustainable manner. Relying on our sample of the Székely tenth settlement pattern we will discuss such basic features as situational geography, and historical background along with explaining the respective and relevant concepts, while highlighting the motivational push and pull factors rooted in the developmental genesis of this historical and autonomous settlement arrangement still existing and in effect even nowadays. We are convinced that a novel and higher level, or more sophisticated approach can increase the marketability of such features. Furthermore, we will point to a tourism-related trend implying a more stable, organic, and system-oriented sustainable spatial and social arrangement. We will conclude that in the next stage of sustainable tourism development producers of tourism related programs in the Székely (Sekler) region should diversify and increase their reliance on modern and renewable energy sources.
