Sustainable tourism at the regional level is an approach to tourism development that aims to maximize economic, social, and cultural benefits for local communities while protecting and conserving the surrounding environment and cultural heritage of the region. This concept emphasizes responsible resource management, reducing environmental impact, and promoting social and economic inclusion. By adopting principles of sustainable tourism, the tourism industry can contribute to the conservation and protection of natural and cultural resources in a destination, while also providing sustainable economic and social benefits for local communities. From this perspective, sustainable tourism in protected areas is of particular importance, where it is essential to implement responsible tourism practices and develop appropriate management plans in collaboration with local communities, authorities, and other stakeholders. To address these challenges and capitalize on opportunities, it is essential to develop and implement appropriate management plans, which include measures for environmental conservation, and education. Maintaining a balance between nature and culture conservation and the sustainable and responsible development of tourism is crucial and for this the potential environmental footprint of diverse tourism activities will be analyzed, assessed, and debated for the case study of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve in Romania with the goal of shaping sustainable tourism.
