Abstract

The article illustrates a geographical approach to the tourism phenomenon. Nowadays, due to the content and extent of the phenomenon, to its forms of expression and its role, tourism is considered a distinct field of activity, a vitally important component of economic and social life. Geographers’ interest in the manifestations related to the tourism phenomenon is justified by the important implications of tourism in land management at different levels (local, regional, national and international). When analysing the tourism phenomenon, the different approaches range from static models of observation to dynamic interpretations, as more and more variables are involved in this process.
