Perspectivele dezvoltării turismului ecologic în Parcul Naţional Orhei [Articol]

Abstract

Orhei National Park is often associated by tourists with the Orheiul Vechi Museum Complex, which includes all archaeological and historical sites — in fact, these make up the Orheiul Vechi Cultural and Natural Reserve. Our objective was to select and describe an ecotourism itinerary within this park, based on the observation of nature and significant natural landscapes. Orhei National Park, as a whole, falls under the category of national parks, but within its boundaries it includes various types of protected areas (forest nature reserves, landscape reserves, resource reserves, natural monuments), which facilitates the practice of ecotourism. The proposed ecotourism itinerary, consisting of visits to the landscape reserves of Trebujeni, Pohrebeni, and Țigănești, is quite representative for ecotourism activities.
