Abstract

In Romania, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the tourism industry due to the resulting travel restrictions. The feeling of health insecurity and the reduction of household income are leading to changes in consumers preferences for the summer 2020. These preferences shifted prominently from mass tourism towards less crowded touristic destinations, and in particular rural and nature tourism. Taking this into consideration, the aim of the paper is to analyze the tourism flow in Romanian agro-tourism boarding houses in order to identify the main trends and changes during the nine months of year 2020 comparative with the same period of year 2019, using the official empirical data and the specific indicators: tourist arrivals and overnight stay by months. The statistical data were completed by information from papers and studies published in specialty books and journals on tourism and rural development. The results showed that in the pandemic times many tourists have turned to domestic tourism, and the agro-tourism boarding houses play a more and more important role in Romania™s tourism and their services are more attractive in comparison to other sorts of accommodation units.
