Kultūrinio-rekreacinio potencialo panaudos galimybės plėtojant vandens turizmą
ENA river is an element of natural framework, performing important action at nature's circulation system. The river is also a path of transportation, that is able to give people not only the economic profit, but also to become one of the most important derivative coupling entertainment activities. In last decade there were many investigations in Lithuania related with development of water tourism: many regions made water tourism tracks development strategies, infrastructure projects, analysis of recreational potential, society opinion and needs for water tourism. Many of these works are under implementation at the moment. Nevertheless it does not solve main problems arising in this field. Present tourism infrastructure and use of recreational sources does not fit the water tourism size and needs of travelers. The touristic infrastructure of rivers is not always used corresponding to its essential mission. Territories that are focused on recreation and tourism usually are designed not taking about aspects of antropocomfort conditions, number of places of interest and ect. Very often cultural cognitive tourism, using traveling by water ways loses its interest and meaning, and the river streams are used more for sport tourism purposes. [From the publication]
