Alternative Tourism Association

The Alternative Tourism Association was established in the month of October of 2015 by a part of the members from the Arad Free Tours team.

The Association’s purpose is to promote and develop touristic activities, especially alternative tourism, simultaneously encouraging the preservation of the natural, historical and cultural heritage. We also set ourselves to create an interaction between the tourism sector and the social and environmental factors. By alternative tourism we grasp any kind of tourism which leads to a harmonious cohabitation between the local population and their guests, thereby contributing towards protecting the cultural, historical and natural heritage located in the visited area. Thus, the interest and activity areas of the association are : the alternative tourism, tourism, environmental protection, history, geography, culture, architecture and sport.

We intend to implement in Arad international projects seeking to promote the city’s alternative tourism opportunities but also projects residing in experience exchanges between the young people of Arad and the European youth.
