Impact
Belgium is a quiet country where nature is present in the city and expands in the countryside, so we can safely say that a true ecotourism is possible in our regions. Our inhabitants are friendly and hospitable, but they also want to participate to concrete projects to preserve nature in their region. Everybody takes part to save the planet – from a hotel chain to a rural lodging!

Compare and Contrast
Up to 1.8 million British tourists visit Belgium every year (Source: UK Statistics Authority). Most visits are trouble-free. The main types of incident for which British nationals required consular assistance in Belgium in 2007 were as a result of street and car crime, plus pickpocketing in the vicinity of Brussels train stations. But
there is an underlying threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
