Different trajectories taken up in 1989 by the former communist countries, the policies applied to them, both during the Cold War and after 1990 influenced the development of tourism in these countries. Based on these considerations, this paper offers a comparative view on an old and the new EU member states regarding foreign tourist arrivals: Portugal (joined the EU in 1986) and Romania (joined the EU in 2007). Are analyzed the evolutions of the main indicators of tourist traffic in the two countries during 2004 - 2012
