In the area of the city of Piatra-Neamt (North-East of Romania), the activities related to the tourism sector may register malfunctions due to the manifestation of some natural risk phenomena. The touristic potential of the city (recreational, sports, balneary, cultural-historical) represents a central component of the national tourist structure with many exploitation possibilities. Risk situations of tourist activities can be induced by the natural hazards attributes (probability and intensity) and vulnerability conditions (physical, economic and social dimensions). The approach in the present study is mainly based on documentary investigation and statistical data collection on risk events covering the period between 1887 and the present, quantitative/qualitative data processing using GIS techniques for making a relevant mapping, and the critical interpretation of the results. The study highlights the fact that some tourist actors, tourist objectives as well as elements of the tourist infrastructure fall under the incidence of geomorphological risks (landslides), climatic risks (lightning) and biophysical risks (the COVID-19 pandemic). The main effects of these risk phenomena are the economic difficulties resulting from the interruption of activities and the decrease in the number of tourists. Identifying the characteristics causing the susceptibility to adverse effects of natural hazards and assessing the vulnerability of the tourism sector in Piatra-Neamt City constitutes an essential element in the risk management strategy and sustainable development of the community.
