Ecotourism is a technical term that groups a wide range of activities based on nature and local culture in areas located inside or near protected natural areas. The main motivation of the tourist is to observe and enjoy nature and local customs regarding nature.
The area you visit is very important and at the same time sensitive. Learn the rules of the places to avoid affecting them negatively! That way you will be safe too.
Feel and act like home! Do not ask to change towels and sheets every day. Save water and electricity!
Respect for the inhabitants must be as important as that for nature. Do not disturb the local people in any way with your presence!
Contribute to the well-being of the community! Buy products from locals and look for services offered by local people, such as guiding and cultural activities.
Recycle and reuse! Avoid non-recyclable products and packaging. Under no circumstances leave waste on nature trails! Avoid lighting fires in unfurnished spaces.
Do not harm in any way the animals and plants you will meet! Don’t pluck flowers or feed wild animals! On nature trails make your presence felt as little as possible!
Choose healthy and low-impact activities during your stay: hiking, cycling, cultural visits, educational activities, paragliding, ski touring and the like.
If you like it with us, you can get more involved. Become a volunteer for protected areas or materially support educational, cultural and environmental projects in Șara Hațegului.
