ABSTRACT
The purpose of the article is to establish as a starting point the use of sustainable tourism that tends to meet human needs and can exist over time, regardless of the policies promoted by public administration authorities in the field, taking into account the current state of the economy, in general., and the tourism industry in particular. One of the most likely consequences of this crisis will be the consolidation of local tourism, which means visiting places close to home. Post-crisis tourists are likely to choose to travel to destinations closer to their place of residence, which are considered "less risky" by many potential tourists. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to show service providers where we are in the COVID-19 pandemic. The National Bureau of Statistics informs that, in 2020, the collective tourist reception structures with accommodation functions were attended by 90.3 thousand tourists, which constitutes 24.1% (or 75.9% less) compared to 2019 Out of the total number of tourists, 61.6 thousand (or 68.2%) were resident tourists and 28.7 thousand (31.8%) were non-resident tourists.
