About
Starting from the rich natural heritage and biodiversity of the Middle Danube region, the Wild Danube Tour project proposes to establish new wildlife and ecotourism programs for visitors arriving to regions next to the Croatia-Serbia border. Partners plan to set up a sustainable model of managing natural sites, focusing on education, marketing, quality management and new infrastructure, such as watchtowers and photo hides, at the same time fostering protection and conservation of natural sites. Wild Danube Tour’s main objective is to strengthen and diversify the cross-border tourism offer by developing new tourism facilities. In particular, partners will develop new wildlife, photography and ecotourism facilities; educate guides specialized in photography and wildlife watching, and equip a Multimedia center in Bilje, Croatia.
