Abstract: The tourism industry in general has a major impact on the economy of a country, given jobs and gains generated from this activity. But equally important is the impact that tourism has on the environment, both through the destruction of ecosystems, and through measures for their protection. Today, tourism development involves a range of new products, higher quality, and quantity. Therefore, I chose to analyse Mehedinti County environmental effects that occur with the development of tourism in general and rural tourism in particular.
