Abstract

Tourism suitability refers to a certain touristic potential development regarding an area, considering the natural environment resources, the existing infrastructure and the number of tourists that visit the area for a certain amount of time. Tourism suitability also indicates how tourism resources can be exploited in a given area. To determine tourism suitability of the wetlands a set of spatial and statistical data with various sources were used. In the purpose of creating a set of maps that can reflect the level of tourism suitability, there were used spatial and statistical data for every locality that has a wetland nearby, data such as: localities and wetland placement, transportation network, bird, fish and amphibianspecies distribution, accommodation, inhabitants, tourists. The results of the analysis offered a series of indicators for tourism activities such as wetland suitability per locality.
