Abstract: Tourism represents an industry of high importance in the economy of any state, especially if that country boasts a number of natural and anthropogenic resources that could interest potential tourists. Romania, a well-endowed country in this regard, has failed to this day to turn to good account its tourism potential, even if the financial efforts in this direction were not insignificant. Although our country recorded improvements as concerns accommodation, it failed nevertheless to determine significant increases in the number of tourists and overnight stays. The main cause is the lack of an adequate transport infrastructure, as well for several other reasons. The net use index of accommodation was generally below 30%. The average length of stay decreased. The average tourist expenditure in 2010 was below the European average and the preferences of Romanian tourists have changed.
