Abstract

Located in the heart of the Apuseni Mountains, Apuseni Natural Park provides a fabulous natural and cultural potential and a favourable position that allows national and international tourist flows. The tourist potential represents an important component for the environment and for the capitalization of its resources. The Apuseni Natural Park Administration was founded in 2004 and its surface is divided into two types of areas: the core area and the buffer zone. This paper focuses on the presentation of some aspects concerning a diagnosis analysis meant to determine the different types of tourism in the area and a prognosis analysis in tourism planning.
