Abstract
The aim of the current study is to quantify the impact of the involvement of nature photography in tourism. The methodology relied on a questionnaire by which data from the tourists of the Bihor-Vlădeasa Mountains were collected. A total of 248 usable responses were obtained. The results suggested that the attractiveness of landscapes, the natural (such as forest resources and landscape resources) and man-made tourist sites, related to the historical and ethnographic cultural resources, emotions, joys, feelings and the emotional connection to certain areas of the Bihor-Vlădeasa Mountains were the main reasons for involvement in nature photography. Data interpretation revealed that there is a strong correlation between the involvement of tourists in nature photography and sightseeing, photography being a good reason for walking, movement and exploration.
