Summary/Abstract: Aspects regarding the impact of tourism on the environment in Praidbalneary resort. Tourism, more than any other field of activity, is dependent on the naturaland the anthropic environment, which is the object and the field of activity of tourism, beingthe framework support of its resources. The tourism potential being an integral part of theenvironment, its existence and development depend directly on its quality.The destructive actions of some tourist activities are mainly manifested by theinappropriate exploitation of the recreational environment, amplified by man's brutalintervention on naturalresources and last but not at least on the landscape. These destructivepractices are mainly encountered in areas with high tourist potential, or in the proximity ofurban settlements. The intensification of tourist activities in increasingly varied forms, andthe qualitative and quantitative mismatch between the tourism resources and theirexploitation, lead to medium and long-term dysfunctions with repercussions both on theenvironment and on the tourist industry..
