Existing And Perspective Arrangements To Salina Cacica In The Context Of Tourism Development In Salt Mines

The capitalization of salt mines through tourism, for visits and speleotherapy is a widely spread phenomenon in Romania. The international experience in the field shows that there are many successful models in this field: a successful model for the great number of tourists who come annually but also a successful model for the very good results in the treatment of some respiratory diseases, using as therapeutic natural factor the subterranean environment of the salt mine. Romania, a country with tradition in salt exploitation, has a lot of salt mines with mining activity interrupted completely or just partially in some sectors, which can be planned for a modern, European and sustainable tourism so that they can be introduced in the tourist route. The Cacica salt mine, situated in an area of great tourist value, has a non-capitalized tourist potential and a salt subterranean environment with potential therapeutic qualities. Inside a multidisciplinary approach, the proposed planning works can turn this attraction into a complex tourist product, attractive, which will diversify the offer of the area.
