The ecotourism project will be created with respect to and in synergy with the local environment
Sibiu City Hall has taken the first concrete steps for the implementation of a large-scale investment initiative that will transform the Gușterița hills into a new place for sports and leisure. The ecotourism project will be created with respect to and in synergy with the local environment.
“We continue to create goals for ourselves for leisure and sports because, in addition to investments in infrastructure, education and health, they are also important for the quality of life of the inhabitants. The area is frequented by Sibiu residents, but not to the extent and the potential it has. Through this project, the location will become an ecotourism objective in and of itself, a place where Sibiu residents can spend time with family and friends, doing sports or enjoying outdoor activities. Also, this project is part of our efforts to add a new element of tourist attraction to Sibiu, creating the infrastructure for leisure that highlights the natural and cultural environment of the city.", said Astrid Fodor, mayor of Sibiu.
Sibiu City Hall has created a draft concept of the project, which will be the basis for contracting the development of documentation for studies and design. A request for European financing for the project, within the Technical Assistance Operational Program 2014-2020, has already been submitted.
The City Hall's draft specifically proposes the following arrangements, which will be analyzed from the point of view of feasibility in the stage of elaboration of technical studies:
The people of Sibiu will be directly involved in this project. In the first phase, Sibiu City Hall will launch a contest through which this objective will receive a name given by those who will enjoy it.
This, however, is likely to change soon
