Abstract: Agritourism, as an economic activity has gained its recognition and importance in the national economy because of the social role it plays due to the natural resources potential and also to the species biodiversity that are to be found in Romanian waters. In some isolated areas, such as the Danube Delta and the Danube Plain, fishing and agritourism are the main activities that provide jobs and income sources for local populations. The authors aim at analyzing the size and concentration of the agritourism as an economic activity in Romania and tackle the degree of specialization and concentration of this particular economic activity on the level of the studied region. The results of the research may bring an important contribution to reconsidering the agritourism potential in substantiating the regional and local development strategies.
