This study examines the changing notion of touristscapes, which refers to the unique and ever-changing landscapes that emerge from the convergence of tourism, geography, and culture. This study examines the principles, aspects, and consequences of touristscapes for tourism development and destination management by combining theoretical frameworks from cultural geography, landscape studies, and tourism theory. The paper uses examples from Romania to illustrate these concepts. The analysis reveals that touristscapes are socially produced settings filled with symbolic meanings and narratives, shaped by the interplay between tourist motivations, local community engagement, and landscape characteristics. The study identifies eight specific types of touristscapes in Romania—redscapes, darkscapes, naturescapes, foodscapes, religionscapes, castlescapes, ruralscapes, and eventscapes—each offering unique insights into the country’s cultural and geographical heritage. This study highlights the significance of sustainable tourism practices and the involvement of all stakeholders in creating meaningful tourist experiences by focusing on the dynamic and interconnected aspects of touristscapes. The findings provide insights into the development and management of destinations, with the aim of improving tourist happiness while maintaining the integrity of local surroundings and communities.
