Ecological Tourism and Public Administration in Romania

This paper presents aspects of ecological tourism. Nowadays tourists are becoming aware of the importance of a clean environment and during their holidays they would like to return to a welcome nature, to enjoy the benefits of the well-preserved areas. Unfortunately the damage already done to nature by past tourists still shows its negative effects. We wonder if modern education or law can help prevent the damages. Our study presents some of the negative aspects the tourism had on the environment. We also look at the types of tourism and the Romanian laws that try to help us live in a better world.
