Abstract: This study opens some question marks over the actual tourism concepts and methods used in the evaluation of tourism phenomena in Romania. Overused and misused syntagms such as "tourism potential" have created gaps in understanding how supply elements reflect in tourist demand, as potential only expresses some territorial capabilities. The concept of "tourism attractiveness" as formulated by Formica, S. is a better instrument to explore the relationship between supply and demand. Thus, knowledge of mechanisms which produce benefits at regional scale is often poor, if we take a glance at the evaluation method used by the Space Planning of National Territory of Romania. By using principles utilized in regional analysis by Smith or Lovingwood, this paperwork tries to build a new approach in identifying key role of tourism resources and infrastructures (potential and existent supply) in attracting important amounts of tourists in Moldavia. The results confirm for this r!
egion of Romania a great role of presence of cultural resources as proximity factor of tourist registration and lack of strength of natural resources in producing overnights when not correlated with good access. Our approach shows the need for a paradigm shift in Romanian conceptual instruments used in the evaluation of tourism.
