The research focuses on the tourism planning specific to winter sports in Romania and Bulgaria, detailing the tourism specific to alpine skiing in Poiana Brașov, Predeal and Sinaia (Romania), Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo (Bulgaria). in Europe, along with the large concentrations of mountain resorts in the Alps, Pyrenees and Scandinavia, tourist complexes are developing in the Carpathian Mountains and the Balkan-Rhodope-Rila Mountains. That is the reason this paper wanted to highlight the comparative evolution of ski tourism in two less famous tourist destinations, but at least as interesting, related to Romanian and Bulgarian ski resorts. Another important objective of the paper was to establish the correspondence between the theoretical models of ski resorts planning and the resorts in Romania and Bulgaria.
