Abstract: Tourism has to maintain an individual and social balance, so that as well as providing personal fulfilment, it can be development in harmony with the human, natural and cultural environment and fit into a context of sustainable development. At the threshold of the third millennium, those of us involved in social tourism are faced with the emergence of threefold revolution: a revolution of the imagination and of creation in the development of new products and new; services in response to the needs of a new and changing market; a revolution in management that must be bold and innovative, especially in the area of legal statutes; a revolutin of the heart in response to the needs of those excluded from globalisation. Thus, the tourism becomes core part of the European Tourism Model, ready to cope with the challenges raised by the Lisbon Strategy (2002) which targets, for the next 10 years, "to turn the European economy into the highest performance economy based on knowledge and able to deliver a sustainable growth through high employment rate and a better social synergy”. The work aims to highlight the benefits of tourism promotion, especially of the social one, in a wider context starting from the tourism enduring development principles up until it's position within the European and Romanian social policy
