We are witnessing that our environment is severely damaged due to negligence and underdeveloped ecological awareness, which can and already significantly affects health, the economy, and consequently the quality of life in Serbia.

Shinrin yoku, or forest bathing (bathing in forest air), has been an element of the healthy lifestyle tradition of Japanese citizens for centuries. In Korea, this procedure is called Sanlimyok; in Finland, they practice it, but do not have a traditional name; in Ireland, it is called Boladh na Sioga, or bathing in the breath of a forest fairy. The term “Forest medicine” was introduced in Japan in 2006, the following year in England, and since 2009, a summer school of forest medicine has been held at the Harvard University Medical School.

By 2021, Serbia has designated 471 protected areas covering over 680,000 hectares, which is slightly less than 8% of Serbia’s territory. In the past period, these areas have been managed through the implementation of legal provisions on preservation, establishing internal order, and sustainable management. In my opinion, this is the perfect moment to create a unique tourist offering within these areas with clear, recognizable tourism products that will align with ecological principles.
