In the current national and European framework, concerns have been intensified regarding the analysis of territorial disparities in a more comprehensive, multidimensional vision. In this respect, the study of the way in which tourism turnover is distributed at territorial level may be a way of providing us economic performance indices of the analyzed territorial systems. In this study we propose the analysis of the territorial distribution of tourism turnover within the SouthEast Development Region and to identify its importance in the development of local economies. Thus, a tourism from turnover database was made for each territorial administrative unit from the South East Development Region, for the period 2000-2016. This database was used for GIS representation of turnover distribution at the territorial administrative unit level, both in terms of evolution and in territorial aspect. As a result of the applied methodology, regional disparities were revealed in the distribution of tourism turnover but also how territorial systems have responded economically to structural shocks.
The tourism industry can play a particularly important role in the economic development of territorial systems that have tourism resources, through the human and material potential that can train it, but also by stimulating the development of the domains with which it interacts. One of the multiplier effects of tourism is job creation. They are created both directly by increasing the number of employees in the tourism field and indirectly in areas such as agriculture, construction or small producers. Tourism activities can thus help mitigate unemployment in areas where this economic activity is stimulated. In the present study we intend to analyze the way of distribution of the employees in tourism at the regional level for the period 2000-2016. In this respect, a database of employees from tourism was made for the period 2000-2016 at territorial administrative unit level, a database that was later used to represent the distribution of employees in a territorial profile at the level of the South East Development Region. On the whole, the number of employees in the field is significantly higher in the territorial systems with significant tourism resources, but it should be taken into account the seasonal degree of a fairly large number of jobs. However, we can say that tourism has a multiplication effect, superior to other economic areas, contributing to the increase of the revenues in the local economies.
