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.
