World Heritage

In 1972 the General Conference of UNESCO established the World Heritage List under the terms of the convention on the protection of the world’s cultural and natural heritage.

The convention states that a World Heritage Committee ”will keep up to date and publish a World Heritage List” of cultural and natural properties submitted by the parties to the convention, which are considered to be of outstanding universal value.

World Heritage on the Danube

The Danube Tourist Commission is a tourism marketing association whose goal is to make the Danube region-a seventy-kilometer (forty three-mile) wide band along both banks of the river-better known internationally, and to promote tourism in the area.
