Presenter Alexandra Grecu Abstract In the current economic context, the tourism sector is seen as a viable economic alternative in terms of income growth in local economies that have tourism resources. It becomes important to know the economic contribution that this sector can bring to the local level, so that decision-makers can take the best decisions on the development of local economies by integrating this economic sector into the management plans developed.The obtained results are an answer to the question: To what extent does the status of a tourist resort of a locality correspond to a high share of tourist activities in the total local economy? In this study, we aim to analyze the tourism sector, for the period 2000 – 2021, through two economic indicators, number of employees and turnover (euro) in the tourist resorts from Romania, attested in accordance with Government Decision no. 910 of 2022 for the approval of the certification of some localities as tourist resorts of national or local interest, and regarding the amendment of annex no. 5 to Government Decision no. 852/2008 for the approval of the rules and criteria for the attestation of tourist resorts. The economic indicators, at the level of administrative unit level and four-digit NACE Code, were analyzed from an evolutionary perspective for the 166 resorts from Romania (54 of national interest and 112 of local interest). In this regard, a database was created that was used to create evolution charts and trend matrices regarding the evolution of the two indicators as a total and the tourism sector, as well as the share of tourism in the total economy. The results of the study show the evolution of the tourism sector and its contribution to the local economy of tourist resorts analyzed in terms of economic indicators.
