Romania and Moldova are committed to encouraging the mutual exchange of data and information in the field of tourism, as well as the exchange of experience in organizing and developing touristic activities. Specialized articles, open access from Clarivate Analytics and Research Gate were used for documentation. The data necessary for the research were collected from the information of the National Institute of Statistics of Romania, respectively of the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova. The research results showed that Romania is the third country as a tourist destination in the preferences of Moldovan tourists, while Romanian tourists are the main category of visitors to the neighboring country. Wine tourism and tourist attractions in the Lower Prut Meadow are the main attractions for Romanian visitors, while Moldovan tourists are attracted by the ski resorts and the Black Sea beach of Romania. The results of the study may be useful for tour operators, officials with responsibilities in this economic sector and for the development of more in-depth research in doctoral studies.
