The Visitor Management Plan for Harghita County for the period 2026–2029 has been completed, providing a unified framework for the responsible and sustainable management of visitor flows across tourism destinations.
The document aims to define clear directions for managing pressure on natural, cultural, and religious attractions, with particular focus on protecting sensitive areas, reducing seasonality, and minimizing impacts on local communities. It outlines practical tools and protocols for regulating access and parking, managing visitor flows, communicating behavioral guidelines, and balancing demand.
Special attention is given to high-pressure sites—such as protected natural areas and major religious events—where visitor management measures can help prevent overuse and improve the overall visitor experience in the short term.
The plan aims to establish a coordinated, county-level system that ensures the long-term preservation of Harghita County’s tourism assets while supporting balanced and sustainable tourism development.
