The Concept
Classic or conventional tourism is far from the modern character and the perspective of a constantly changing space reality. Today’s traveler is looking for new places and new ways of vacation, resulting in the development of new kinds of tourism, generally, known as alternative tourism.
Our proposal to promote tourism in mountain areas, initially with the identification and recording of hiking routes as well as the emergence of new modern channels, can be a pole of attraction for visitors as well as a point of reference for preserving the natural beauty and the historical character.
The visitor can get to know the area’s points of interest (historical, natural etc.) and thus have a different approach to the area with its long history and diverse natural beauties.
