Ecotourism

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.
