       Abstract: Many experts in the tourism industry think youth travel is the fastest
growing market segment, and the previsions of the World Tourism Organization estimate that
in the near future youth travel will tote up 25% of the worldwide tourism market. On one
hand, this phenomenon can be explain through the cultural motivation of the young people in
practicing tourism, and on the other, through the relatively low or acceptable costs of
transportation, especially for the youth in well developed countries.

       Key words :touristic destination, touristic flow, youth travel
