Abstract
The Praid Salt Mine, a prominent subterranean tourist destination in Romania, attracts visitors globally due to its unique geological features and therapeutic microclimate. This study evaluates tourist satisfaction at the Praid Salt Mine to identify factors that enhance or detract from the visitor experience. Data were collected through surveys administered to tourists. The findings indicate high overall satisfaction, particularly with the mine's natural beauty and the health benefits of speleotherapy.. The study recommends strategic enhancements in infrastructure, service quality, and informational resources to improve visitor satisfaction further. These insights aim to assist management in developing targeted strategies to elevate the Praid Salt Mine's appeal and ensure sustainable tourism growth.
