The accommodation units are a necessary component of tourist destination development, and the quality and diversification of the accommodation services offered will influence the type of tourists who want to visit the destination. The main purpose of the qualitative research presented in this paper was to study the possibility of introducing a new form of accommodation in Brasov as tourist destination and, more precisely, the extent to which "hotel apartments" are among the tourists’ present and future options. The paper also analyses aspects regarding the typology of the accommodation units, classification possibilities and the advantages that the introduction and development of these forms of accommodation in the tourist destination of Brasov could bring.
