Abstract: Tourism must be integrated into the unitary functional system of the economy. In a macroeconomic sense, organizing tourism activity implies the existence of an adequate framework, a sequence and connection of the components of this field of activity, so that they function optimally, as true engines of tourism. The government shapes the economic climate for the tourism industry, helps ensure the infrastructure and educational requirements for tourism, sets the legislation under which tourism operators operate and takes an active role in promotion and marketing. Every government must have a tourism policy at both national and local levels. Therefore, the state plays an essential role in tourism, providing the general legislative framework within the tourism industry operates, directly intervening in many aspects of the tourism system.
