In the current context of the evolution of the global health situation, the principles of sustainable development are a concern and a solution to global economic problems. This paper aims to identify barriers to the practice of a green economy, as well as the importance of applying the principles of sustainability in the hospitality industry, which is an alternative to support the green economy. In order to achieve the goal, a series of objectives were formulated related to the concept of sustainable development, forms of sustainable tourism and their impact on the green economy. The study is based on the use of national and international statistical data, which have been processed, analyzed and interpreted. Following the analysis, the direct correlation between the practice of a tourism based on the concept of sustainability and the practice of a green economy was highlighted, as a solution to the current economic problems.
