The development of a tourism and recreation branch in the region will depend on the success of the following types of tourism: recreational, cruising (marine and river), yachting, cultural, environmental, rural (green), ethnic, folklore and sport.
What does your region do about that?

The development of environmental green tourism is considered to be important, especially in the Danube region, which has all the natural prerequisites for such an endeavour.
