Abstract: The strategic role of tourism sector and its considerable contribution to economic development, employment, social and environmental sustainability is acknowledged by all decision making bodies, from world wide tourism associations (World Tourism Organization – WTO) to national, regional and local communities. The current article analyses the direct contribution that European structural funds had on the development of tourism infrastructure in Gorj County over the past 12 years. The data used for the research covers the pre-accession funds allocation (SAPARD Programme), the investments in tourism infrastructure from 2007 – 2013 financial programming framework as well as the current 2014 – 2020 programming framework - finalised tourism projects. The main conclusion that emerges form the research is that European structural funds greatly contributed to the development of tourism infrastructure both in quantity as well as in quality and diversity.
