They leave nature intact, choose less popular places and travel in smaller groups - these are eco-tourists. They stay longer at the destination and spend far more than the average guests. The concept of travel that implies a minimal impact on the environment and maximum benefit for the local community has been popular for decades in Europe. It is increasingly accepted in Serbia as well.

Research has shown that European tourists are willing to pay more if they are sure that the destination is environmentally responsible. And Serbia can respond to such requests with 5 national parks, 18 natural monuments, 20 landscapes of exceptional features, 69 special nature reserves.

Carska or Obedska pond cruises, touring the Special Nature Reserve Zasavica, canyon Uvac cruise and griffon vulture watching, kayaking on the Drina River, hiking in Divčibare - these are some of the suggestions that would satisfy even the most demanding eco-tourists.

Eastern Serbia also meets the requirements. Mount Miroč and village Petrovo Selo as a protected eco-community offer numerous hiking trails for all ages, numerous caves for adventurers, and an astonishing Blederija waterfall for true nature lovers.

For those who would like to get away from the city and the crowds, but not the comfort, the concept of glamping is ideal. A unique combination of nature and pleasure is available in Bezdan and Sremski Karlovci.

Eco-tourism has been growing in recent years, and in the era of the pandemic, it may become the first choice of many tourists.
