ABSTRACT
Like other economic activities, tourism activity has established in space and time its own market, characterized by the action of factors with specific manifestation
determined by economic nature, cultural, social, geographical, political, and above all, motivational, of an territorial area, with relatively limited depth of knowledge which increases, in principle, the risk of offers to entering on certain markets. Tourist market includes all people witch want and feels the need to travel and have the resources to fulfill this desire. In order to make a correct picture of tourism activities from the area, we undertook a detailed analysis of the studied area using various bibliographic sources and other materials on the addressed issue. Brebu Nou commune is located in the central part of Caras Severin County, at 45 km way from the Resita city and 40 km from Caransebes, being formed from localities Bebu Nou and Garana. By its geographical position, the village is one of the pearls of Banat Mountain, so inhabitants and local governments are interested in promoting the tourist potential and creating the necessary infrastructure for increasing the commune attractiveness as a tourist destination. Semenic Mountains, although it is one not of the mountain complex to impress through great heights is of a great beauty and variety, providing a exceptional frame-from the rounded plates, abundant springs and streams, valleys, dense and covered with rich forest. [6] Garana is the place with the best location from this point of view, being close to origin of Timis River, formed by the union of three streams that that give birth, by containment, to lake Trei-Ape.
