Abstract:
Equestrian tourism is a fast growing sector in Romania, considered as a form of active recreation, adventure tourism, ecotourism or nature-based tourism. Equestrian activities are diverse, such as horseback riding, donkey rides, traveling through the countryside with a horse-drawn carriage discovering fauna and flora, a few days or just a few hours, but also visits to the farm or equestrian centers, sporting events, shows, thematic fairs, etc. This analysis aims to highlight the potential of equestrian tourism in Romania, and how this type of tourism can develop.
