Abstract
Considering the expansion and the increase of the impact of tourism on the natural environment, the present study deals with the assessment of the touristic resources of the Pădurea Craiului Touristic Destination, Bihor County, Romania. Thus, 73 objectives regarding the availability of turning a profit through tourism were analysed, ranked and systematised based on a methodology developed by the present study. The results obtained represent a valuable support for further scientific and practical steps in what the sustainable management and economic capitalisation of space is concerned.

Key words
Touristic destination, touristic assessment, touristic resources, touristic infrastructure.
