A multiethnic community's history, as represented in the cultural and built environment serves as an important asset for the economic development in a sustainable way. A review of arts-based activities in a protected and multiethnic area is the point of departure for this article. The products and activities offered and related issues on the economic sustainability of small villages situated on “islands” are examined. Challenges can appear in communities at risk of losing their unique character and attempting to protect their special sense of place. The role of arts is examined as a means for encouraging and strengthening sense of place and community identity, as well as building resilience. To combat social and economic inequity in this area, Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Authority, other relevant authorities, NGO's, communities, and policy makers should seek ways to empower local residents to find local solutions. This study would help maintain the sustainability of the tourism sector and enable future support in order to engage communities in the arts-based activities.
