Tourist Accommodation Establishments in Romania

The study addresses issues on Romania's tourism.The paper was focused on statistical indicators published in the Eurostat database and by the National Institute of Statistics, Bucharest, Romania.The analysis consisted basically in the dynamic on the data sets for the following indicators: number of trips by purpose, nights spent in the Romanian accommodation establishments and tourist expenditures.For the quarterly time series "total nights spent by residents and non-residents" in "Hotels; Holiday and other short-stay accommodation; camping grounds, recreational vehicle parks and trailer parks", we have focused on the analysis of the seasonality and the two years forecasting data.The database covering the period between 2002 and 2013 was not available or was partly available from some countries.The results have suggested that across Europe, the number of trips made for personal purposes is indirectly proportional to the length of stay; for the same data mentioned above, the number of overnight stays of more than 4 nights for professional purposes, are quite balanced.Regarding seasonality analysis in six countries, for the number of resident tourists, staying in "hotels, holiday and other short -stay accommodations", there were achieved positive averages of gross seasonal deviations for Germany, Italy, Romania and United Kingdom and negative averages for Bulgaria and Austria.The analysis of the seasonality for non-residents, based on the same conditions as those indicated for residents, has been indicated positive results for all analyzed countries, except for Romania and the United Kingdom.
