Summary/Abstract: Following the major changes which had marked the world’s economy after1989, the tourism industry was marked by a powerful internalization and globalization. The competition on this market has a monopolistic form, with many suppliers and tourist. Also, competition relationships have an ascending tendency owing to the tourism operators’ ability to assimilate and develop innovative ways to answer the environment dynamic and the new paradigms in the process of European integration. In average, in the analysed period (2000-2008) the total number of tourists recorded a 5717.3 tourists/year annual average, with a 276 tourists/year absolute average. On average, in 1990-2008 foreigner tourists recorded an annual average of 1230.22 persons/ year, with an absolute average of 74.87 persons/ year, which represents a relative annual regress of approximately 1%. Regarding the number of overnight stays in tourist accommodation units, in 2000-2008, an increase can be noticed, per total, from 17647 thousands overnight stays in 2000 to 20726 thousands in 2008 and, respectively, an increase concerning foreigner tourists from 2148 thousands overnight stays in 2000 to 3359 thousands in 2008 (foreigner tourists), which represents an absolute increase of 3079 thousands overnight stays per total and of 1211 thousands for foreigner tourists. In conclusion the overall analyze of the Romanian international tourism circulation highlights the modest level of this in comparison with our country resources and with the future increasing reserves.
