The paper aimed to analyze the main trends in tourism in Cluj-Napoca and the Cluj County in the period 2007-2016 based on the empirical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics and the Statistical Division of the Cluj County. Tourism offer was briefly presented in terms of natural, historical and cultural patrimony, and also in terms of accommodation capacity ( number of units and places) in its dynamics and correlation with the tourism demand, in terms of number of tourists arrivals and overnight stays. The data have been processed using index method, statistical parameters, Pearson correlation coefficients, linear regression models and the Excel facilities. In 2016, in Cluj-Napoca there were by 81.9 % more units of tourist accommodation and by 74 % more places, while at the county level, there were by 35 % more units and by 20 % more places. More exactly, in 2016, the offer of places was 6,216 in Cluj-Napoca and 8,450 places in the county. In the same period, the tourist arrivals increased by 42 % in Cluj-Napoca and by 44 % in the county. The number of overnight stays also increased by 34 % and, respectively 33 %. In 2016, Cluj-Napoca was visited by 371,505 tourists meaning 1.15 tourists/inhabitant, while the county registered 498,500 visitors, meaning 0.69 tourists/capita. The number of overnight stays accounted for 704,921 in Cluj-Napoca and 952,900 in the county. The regression linear models proved that the variation of the number of places has a low effect on the number of arrivals and overnight stays both in the city of residence and in the county. But a strong relationship is between the number of arrivals and overnight stays, (r= 0.990). As a final conclusion, the higher and higher number of Romanian and foreign visitors in Cluj-Napoca and the county of Cluj is explained by the diversified offer in terms of natural, historical and cultural patrimony, accommodation units and places, hospitality, high quality services which reflect a good tourism management and marketing.

The purpose of the paper was to analyze Romania's foreign trade with cereals in order to point out its efficiency by type of traded cereal in the period 2007-2016 using the empirical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics. The study required a large variety of specific indicators and methods to reach its goal. In the period 2007-2016, both cereal export and import value increased, accounting for Euro 2,097.2 Million export and for Euro 591.1 Million import. As a result, Romania is a net exporting country of cereals as its trade balance was Euro 1,505.1 Million. Also, the volume of cereal trade increased by 5.36 times, reaching Euro 2,689.3 Million in 2016, the export per inhabitant increased reaching Euro 106.13/capita, and the coverage degree of import by export was 3.54 by 6 times higher than in 2007. In 2016, in the agro-food trade of Romania, cereals represented 35 % in the export value and 9 % in the import value. In 2016, the share of various cereals in the cereal export value accounted for: wheat 55.3 %, maize 34.4 % and barley 9.15 %, all together totalizing 98.85%, while the share of these cereals in cereal import value accounted for: wheat 56.9 %, maize 24.9 %, barley 11.9 % and rice 5.1 %, all together accounting for 98.8 %. In 2016, the trade balance for the main traded cereals was positive: wheat Euro 823.4 million, maize Euro 574.3 million, and barley Euro 121 million. The index of coverage degree of import by export was: 4.9 for maize, 3.4 for wheat, 3.1 for oats, 2.7 for barley, 1.9 for sorghum, 0.4 for rice and 0.3 for rye. The main trade partner for cereal export is the EU with a share of 30.7 %, the difference being represented by countries from the extra-EU market, and for import the EU had the top position with 95.8 % market share. The hierarchy of the cereals, in the decreasing order of the efficiency of their trade was the following one: wheat, barley, maize, rye, sorghum, oats and rice. But, the main cereals which deserve to be traded on external markets are wheat, maize and barley. This analysis has drawn the conclusion that Romania must commercialize more cereals with a high efficiency in foreign trade in terms of high export value, low import value, high positive trade balance and a high index of coverage degree of import by export. The positive trade balance had a good impact on the payment balance and on the economic growth.

The paper analyzed the relationship between international tourist arrivals and tourism receipts in the world, in the EU and in Romania in the period 2009-2015. Also, it was analyzed the situation in the CEECs in 2014. The relationship between these two indicators was studied in its dynamics and also as a ratio reflecting tourism efficiency in term of receipt per tourist. The Bravais-Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients confirmed the existence of a strong link between these indicators: r= 0.925 at the world level, r = 0.967 in the EU, r = 0.877 in Romania and r = 0.896 in the CEECs. The average receipt/tourist in the whole analyzed period accounted for 1,040.3 USD at the world level, 916.95 USD in the EU and 900.04 USD in Romania. In the CEECs, the average receipt/tourist was 1,205.5 USD in 2014. The EU contributes by 40.4 % to the number of international tourist arrivals, and by 37.39 % to the world receipts from tourism, reflecting its power of attraction for the tourists coming from all over the world due to its cultural heritage and large variety of landscapes, historical places, museums, art galleries, traditions. The CEECs contributes by 10.40 % of the EU tourist inflow and by 11.86 % of the EU receipts. Romania contributes by 0.47 % to the EU international tourists and by 0.38 % to the EU receipts. The increased number of international tourists has a benefic effect on tourism receipts, and together represents the key factors of tourism development and the world trade and global economy.

The paper aimed to analyze the relationship between the tourism accommodation capacity in terms of the number of units, and the number of tourist flows in terms of arrivals in Romania and by its 8 micro regions in the period 2007-2015. In this purpose, the data provided by the National Institute of Statistics were processed using the indices with fixed and variable basis, comparison method, statistical parameters, Pearson coefficient of correlation, and linear regression function. In Romania, the number of units with accommodation function increased by 65.3 % from 4,694 units in the year 2007 to 6,821 units in the year 2015, and the number of tourists' arrivals increased by 63 % from 6,091.9 thousands in 2007 to 9,930.4 thousands in 2015. While the highest number of accommodation units is in the Central, SE and NE Romania, the highest number of tourists' arrivals was recorded in the Central Romania, Bucharest Ilfov and SE region. Even thou at the national level, the average number of tourists' arrivals per unit for tourists' accommodation was 1,456 arrivals/unit, by 12.18 % higher in 2015 compared to 2007, there is still a gap between the territorial dispersion of the accommodation capacity and the tourists flow. The high correlation coefficient r = 0.909 and the high determination degree 82.76 % at the national level, reflect that tourists flow has a major influence on the tourism accommodation capacity. Using the linear regression functions, there were estimates the units for tourists' accommodation depending on the tourists' arrivals for the period 2016-2020. In conclusion, the development of tourism accommodation capacity must be a priority in order to assure a better correlation with the tourist arrivals in the territory of Romania.
