Abstract

Tourism is dependent on the existence of natural and antrophic resources. Because Romania is characterized by great variety and diversity of these type of resources, we want to study the evolution and attractiveness of tourism and how it was influenced by the EU accession. The analysis is focused on two important touristic regions of Romania, namely Nord-Est and Sud-Est. For this approach, we use the comparative analysis, in dynamics, of the main indicators used in tourism activity, based on statistical data at regional and national level. The results of the analysis will highlight the potential and attractiveness of tourism and the advantages of Romanias EU membership.
