Abstract: Tourism is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that, under modern conditions, attracts the attention of many researchers, that among other issues, deal with the issue of conceptual determination, that is the definition of tourism. However, in literature, there is still no single definition of tourism. A large number of researchers, also address the question of the historical development of tourism, looking at (specifying individual stages or phases), its development path, from the distant past to the present day. With that in mind, this paper represents a contribution to the consideration of issues relating to the conceptual and temporal coverage of tourism as a socioeconomic phenomena.
