Tourism Potential and Its Role in the Development of Tourist Activity

Abstract

This paper is a theoretical approach and presents an empirical research on tourism potential and its importance in the development of tourist activity. I believe that the necessity to know the tourism potential, of his rational recovery is increasingly more required, especially in last period, when tourism has become an activity with great social and economic importance nationally and internationally. It can be said that Romania's tourism potential is of great complexity and of inestimable value due to various forms of territory and history of the Romanian people. First, the tourism potential is represented by varied relief, by a dense network of rivers and lakes, a rich fauna and a very diverse vegetation zones, and secondly, by the historical and architectural monuments of a invaluable value, by Romanian elements of folklore and heritage, elements that attract the attention of many tourists from all over the world.
