The study is a continuation of the research previously undertaken in the beautiful and authentic area of Maramureș, where the influence of the pandemic in the period 2016-2020 on the tourist circulation was primarily followed. In the first part, an analysis was carried out on the main aspects that can positively or negatively influence the attraction and circulation of tourists in the researched area, such as the accessibility study and road, rail and air infrastructures. After that, aspects were studied regarding the demographic evolution of the population and its occupation in different areas, which can directly influence the activity and tourist circulation in the area. Also, the main cultural, social and sanitary facilities that can contribute to the significant increase in the qualitative value of a tourist destination and implicitly the tourist circulation were studied.
