Abstract

This study aims to be a detalied analysis, which, through its structure, methods, procedures and content, contributes to the clarification of the issues related to the capacity of the territorial systems to adapt in the analyzed region. The results were achived by analyzing the tourist flows, compared to the previous years, everything being outlined by the prospects of this area’s development. The results show a low number of tourists due to a poor process of modernization, lack of involvement of local authorities and little marketing, as the county is not included in the category of the recognized tourist destinations. This area has a high potential for tourism, so it is necessary for the county to be known both at national and international level.
