As the new millennium
unfolds, we are becoming increasingly aware
of the finite, interconnected and precious
nature of our planet home. Likewise, tourism
is becoming an increasingly popular expression
of this awareness. With advances in transportation
and information technology, ever more remote
areas of the earth are coming within reach
of the traveler. In fact, tourism is now the
world's largest industry, with nature tourism
the fastest growing segment.
In response to this
increasing appreciation of nature experiences,
a new travel ethic has arisen which is now
called ecotourism. The
Nature Conservancy has joined the World Conservation
Union (IUCN) in adopting the following definition
of ecotourism:
"Environmentally
responsible travel to natural areas, in order
to enjoy and appreciate nature (and accompanying
cultural features, both past and present)
that promote conservation, have a low visitor
impact and provide for beneficially active
socio-economic involvement of local peoples."

Birds
of the Danube Delta -
4 Day / 3 Night Birdwatching Adventure
It is estimated that more
than 3000 pairs of pelicans breed annually in
the Danube Delta. Along with the cormorants,
swans and ducks, they make up the largest contingent
of the 176 species that breed in the area. Visiting
a cormorant or pelican breeding colony is an
awesome experience. Here, nature reigns supreme
- cormorants, spoon-bills, egrets and herons
share the colony ensuring that every vantage
branch on the trees hosts a nest. Bustling with
life, the strictly protected colonies give the
visitor a magical insight into the amazing world
of nature. In the reed beds below, ducks and
swans rear their young in nests camouflaged
in the thick foliage. An abundant food supply
is provided in the surrounding waters of the
Delta, where birds consume over 8,000 tonnes
of fish every year. |

Fishing
Romania - 5
Day / 4 Night Fishing Safari
The lakes, channels and
estuaries of the vast Danube Delta in Romania
are a paradise for anglers. The 5,400 square
kilometer nature reserve is amongst the most
tranquil and picturesque fishing destinations
in Europe and abundant with game fish. Fishing
for pike, carp, catfish, zander, roach, bream
and perch is open for most of the year except
for the short spawning period in April and May.
The Delta is an interesting destination for
the most seasoned angler as it is for the relative
novice and with options to fish from land and
boats. The vast variety of waters and landscapes
offer challenging fishing opportunities with
virtually thousands of locations to choose from. |
