摘要:As component of any urban system many green spaces such as parks, botanical or zoological gardens, and urban forests have a role of protection and improvement of the environmental quality standards in the cities, and are attraction poles for the inhabitants as well as for all the types of tourism (leisure, cultural, business tourism, congress and meetings tourism or mix tourism forms).However in Romania, the tourist function of green spaces is not yet considered as building the city image. After setting the framework of urban tourism and destination marketing, and the insertion of the green spaces within the urban tissue, we discuss the principles that make a place attractive for tourists. Taking the example of the town of Craiova we try to identify the green spaces that may appeal to tourists, the required characteristics for a green space to become a touristic place and how to further develop the tourist function without hindering the other functions. The case of two parks we consider remarkable and attractive from the touristic point of view is analysed from this point of view.
