Summary: | The tourism market is the economic space in which all transactions in the form of tourism
consumption and production take place.
Although competition is the main instrument that defines a free market economy, nevertheless in
the tourism market it is necessary for the state to intervene by establishing certain regulations
concerning the provision of tourism services by hoteliers and tourism intermediaries in order to
ensure the protection of tourists as consumers of tourism services.
The tourist market is a complex and dynamic market, which is constantly subject to both
endogenous and exogenous factors, such as economic, political, social, legislative, psychological,
natural, geographical, military and health factors.
In Romania, the tourism market has shown trends of decline, stagnation or growth under the
influence of factors specific to the Romanian economy, the aim of this paper being to highlight these
aspects.
