Abstract: Bucharest-Ilfov region represents the biggest economic power of Romania. Regardless of the economic, pandemic or political context, this region has had the highest contribution to Romania’s GDP. As for tourism indicators, Bucharest-Ilfov is also facing the negative effects of the European and global political and economic crisis. Even though the accommodation capacity of Bucharest has tripled in the last 20 years, the Covid 19, the Ukraine war and, more recent, the war in Gaza Strip and Middle East, have had negative repercussions on tourism activity. The number of foreign tourist arrivals has been significantly influenced by these negative events and the geographical localization of Romania determines fluctuations for tourism flows indicators, as well. This study aims to present the impact of these events on the tourism economic environment in Bucharest Ilfov and will accentuate the factors that are contributing to its spectacular revival of the travel and tourism industry, in this unexpected context.
