Abstract: At present, the natural environment has a fragile balance mainly due to the development of economic activities. In intensely populated regions, man has radically transformed the natural environment, creating the anthropic areas. This transformation is done at the expense of the natural areas, being more serious and the fact that the change of the environment is done without taking into account the reprecursions that may occur. The Danube Cluster is one of the most beautiful regions in Romania, I would even venture to say from Europe, the area where the Carpathians meet the Danube, where traditions are kept alive and where you feel you can be filled with energy even if you do not linger in the area. In the last years the tourist activities in the Danube Cluster have had a major increase, on the one hand due to the increase of the number of visitors and on the other hand by the construction of numerous accommodation and public food units. This transformation is beneficial if we reflect on the increase in the number of accommodation places as the number of tourists is large, but the anthropic impact on the environment is a high one especially if the development of economic activities is not in accordance with the principles of green tourism. I believe that preserving the integrity of the natural environment must take precedence over the development of economic activities if we want to implement a sustainable tourism in the Danube Cluster.
