ABSTRACT. Archaeotouristic Axes Related to Roman Camps in Bistrița-Năsăud, Cluj and Sălaj Counties in Romania. The current research has a desire to launch the concept of archaeological tourism on the territory of Romania. The goal is to make tourists aware of the many discoveries made over the years and to create a form of self-contained tourism. We identified 2 main tourist axes of the Roman camps in Bistrița-Năsăud, Cluj and Sălaj counties, camps that once belonged to the territory of Dacia Porolissensis. The role of these axes is to create a notoriety of the archaeological destinations and to reduce the transit type tourism. Through institutional cooperation these areas could become points of regional and national interest.

Keywords: tourism, archaeology, heritage, touristic axes, Roman camp, Dacia Porolissensis.
