Parts of two protected landscape areas are stretching to its territory, Beskydy and Bílé Karpaty. These mountains are sought after by tourists both in summer and in winter. Popularity in folk traditions is typical for this region. From among folklore events, taking place every year, there is Haná days in Chropynû, the Ride of Kings in Vlãnov, or Slivovitz Vintage days in Vizovice.

The castle with its gardens is the only landmark registered on the UNESCO list in the region of Zlín. Luhaãovice is the most important spa in the region and this town is also trying to get to the UNESCO list of the world heritage.
