Abstract:
Tourism developement reprezent one
of the main priority of modern economies.
This evolution depends on factor endowements.
They correspond to general factor
required for the whole economy and to
specific factors to the tourism such as certain
natural and cultural resources. Factor
endowements can be divided into three
categories: natural resouces, historic,
artistic and cultural heritage, human
resources in employment and skills, capital
and infrastructure resources.
Their economic analysis illustrate the
importance of tourism industry in the
economy and the position of each country
in the international tourism market, the
competitive and comparative advantage.
Comparative analysis about Romania
demonstrate that our country has the
potential to be an important touristic destination
if all opportunities offered by the
varied natural and cultural heritage are
understood and capitalised. In this
process, touristic services plays an important
role; their characteristics, their
diversity, their price-quality ratio, influence
the comparison and the choice of
tourism supply offered by competing countries
or destination.
