ACTIVE TOURISM

1
ACTIVE TOURISM

• In the first outdoor off-road
• recreational area
• in Romania

2
RECREATION is not a luxuryIt is a necessity of
the modern life

• Different people with different hobbies still
  have something in common the trails
• Sharing the same area, they enjoy different kind
  of recreational activities...

3
The first outdoor off-road recreational area
is located in Southwestern Romania,along the E
70 European Roadand the Orient Express rail
route

• Easy access from any Western European country,
  heading Vienna and Budapest
• Tourist Info Center and
• international airport
• in Timisoara
• Close to the Danube Tourist Route

Since 1995, EnduRoMania Foundationis planing and
promotingthe active tourism in the region

• The area includes the Southwestern Carpathians
  (over 2200 meters heights) and
• The mountains known as Banat Highland (Semernic,
  Anina, Almajului, Locvei)?

5
The lack of infrastructureis being used as an
advantage

• The roads are in bad condition, but currently
  used by the local people for their transportation
  needs and activities
• The roads are excellent for off-road tourism
  and very appreciated by the enduro riders and 4x4
  drivers

We are using the succesful experience from the
USA

• The Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Program
  was born in 1971 out of the critical need to
  better manage growing demands for off-highway
  recreation, while at the same time foster respect
  for private property rights and protect
  California's natural and cultural resources.
  Today, this program, a division of the California
  Department of Parks and Recreation, is the
  largest and most successful program of its type
  in the U.S. Today, the program continues its
  commitment to provide safe, enjoyable recreation
  while balancing the need to protect the state's
  resources.

• This forest road looks like a Romanian one, but
  it is in California.
• If this kind of tourism is being practiced in one
  of the most advanced regions of the world, we are
  convinced that it is suitable also from Romania.
  Thus, the poor infrastructure and the unspoiled
  nature is a real potential for tourism
  development in Romania, in contrast with the
  highly developed and overcrowded Europe.

EnduRoMania is an unique off-road event - more
orienteering than speed- more tourism than
competition- more team-spirit than breaking
records

• Using maps, compass or GPS, looking for about 80
  checkpoints, riding 5 days in an area of 40000
  square kilometers, teams of minimum 3 members are
  free to decide on their routes, according to
  their skills and intentions

The special maps are edited in cooperation with
Kartographie Huber publisher from Münich

• 1 100 000 is the ideal scale
• for the details on the maps
