Abstract:
In the work that follows, based on data from the Statistical Yearbook of Romania are analyzed a series of regional indicators, in order to highlight the differences between regions about the potential and attractiveness in terms of tourism. In the period under the present review the number of overnight stays registered a dramatic decline from a peak of 45.48 million recorded immediately after the changes in socioeconomic 1989-1990 to a low of 16.05 million recorded as a result of the economic crisis manifested in 2008-2010. The South East region, which contains two of the main tourist attractions in Romania - Black Sea and Danube Delta - has the highest share of total number of overnight stays for the entire period. Still visible is declining contribution of this region to the total overnight stays, the value decreased from 30% in 1990-2000 to 21% in 2013. After analyzing the evolution of the structure of tourists each year by developing region we can observe that trends are similar to overnight stays number, which explains to a certain extent that overnight stays, while containing worth and movements determined by the specificity and duties of the job, are directly influenced, as expected, by the amplitude of tourism activities
