摘要：In Romania, after 1990, tourism is seen as a universal solution for the economic development of any region. In fact, some areas are appropriate to this. One of them is the Carpathian area, where a quarter of the Romanian small towns exist. These settlements are still trying to adapt to the market economy hence many of them, as former mono-industrial centers, have shrank their activities and try to subscribe in the new economic landscape. In the context of a great tourism potential given by the Carpathians resources and benefiting by urban development, few environmental changes analyzed through tourism potential indicator (Tp), urban development indicator (UDI), environmental change indicator (EChI), many of the mountainous small towns can successfully revive through tourism development. Their good economic, urban and environmental state influences the surroundings, rural area and their communities' wellbeing; hence their revival through tourism may increase the mountain economy
