This study on the naval tourist transports aims at not only emphasizing its
features, but also its evolution from the beginning to the present. Even if there are
several different denominations for the same tourism form (naval tourism, river
tourism, coasting tourism, cruise tourism), we emphasize as follows the specificity
of the concept’s content, as well as the conditioning imposed by the geographic
reality of the spaces where it is practiced. Finally, we approach their specific
features in Romania.
