On 6 November 2026, regulations on tourism services at reservoirs and in surrounding areas entered into force. They set out where tourism and recreation facilities can be located on vacant non-agricultural land and what safety requirements operators must meet.

Allocation of land

Plots for tourism projects will be selected in line with approved master plans and put up for auction on the E-auksion platform.

Site selection will take into account water protection zones and sanitary protection zones, as well as areas at high risk of mudflows and landslides.

Mandatory requirements for operators

• Set up a rescue service or contract a professional rescue organisation to provide on-duty coverage.

• Follow safety rules for operating small vessels and using their berthing facilities.

• Contract a service provider to collect and remove household waste generated at the site.

Digital services for visitors

Tourism services will incorporate digital maps, online booking systems and QR code navigation.

Legal basis — Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 609 of 5 November 2026 and Presidential Resolution No. PP–387 of 27 October 2026.
