Keywords:
tourism, sustainability, employment
Abstract
The tertiarization of contemporary economies has imposed tourism as one of the relevant activities in generating gross added value. The main aim of this research is to make a synoptic analysis of the tourism economy in the European Union from the perspective of structural changes determined by the adaptation to the demands levied by the new world economic flows. The paper contains a panoramic analysis of tourism in some European countries, insisting on specific elements, essential for understanding the global economic mechanism.
