Abstract: In this paper we aim at showing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the tourism both nationally and internationally. The paper begins with a presentation of the importance of the tourist services in the economic context, and then presents various definitions of the notions of tourism and tourist. From the point of view of the Covid-19 impact on tourism, we can notice during this period a decrease in the number of foreign tourists, as well as a significant decrease in the contribution of the tourism to GDP, a contribution analyzed at the global level. Romania, respectively Constanta County is not an exception to international developments, registering a decrease in arrivals, and in overnight, in the January 2019 - October 2021 period. The paper ends with conclusions which highlight the challenges tourism is faced with in the current context, but also with the hope that the markets will finally find their balance when the virus stabilizes.
