Over 5,000 German tourists will come to Romania this year to see bears and wolves in their natural habitat, according to Romanian tourism officials. Romania promoted these kinds of trips at the tourism fair in Stuttgart last week.

“Over 150,000 people visited Romania’s stand at the Stuttgart fair and Transylvania and the Danube Delta stirred the greatest interest, especially for active tourism and nature tourism. A segment that has generated interest this year is the observation of large animals in their natural habitat, namely bears and wolves. These programs have already attracted thousands of applications,” said Adina Secara, director of the Office for Information and Touristic Promotion for Romania in Germany, cited by local Mediafax.
