In spite of the existing natural and anthropic riches, the Romanians have lately preferred to spend their holidays in foreign countries, despite the rather timid efforts of the state to promote domestic tourism. The foreign holiday destinations are among the top of the Romanians’ preferences, especially due to the quality / price ratio, but also to the quality offered by hoteliers as well as to the numerous tourist attractions. We can also say that Romanians have become more demanding in choosing tourist packages and that they prefer to invest in their comfort by allocating more and more money for holidays, especially for those abroad. Below, shall be presented the results of a research carried out on the occasion of the Tourism Fair in Romania, November 2015, February and November 2016 editions, whose main purpose was to study the trends in Romania's tourism offer.
