There are numerous conceptual and methodological issues to be faced in such an endeavour. Considering data availability, particularly the lack of demand\-side data at regional level, the purpose of this paper was to employ a top\-down method for regionalizing TSA data in Romania at the level of its eight development regions. Design\/methodology\/approach\: This method is based on using multiple regional indicators and existing data sources coming from the supply side\: tourism statistics, passenger transport statistics, culture statistics, administrative data, structural business survey, labour cost survey, as well as national and regional accounts. Findings\: Regionalizing TSA was obtained but restricted only to calculating the TSA aggregates at regional level. Originality\: This paper will contribute to enhancing the TSA development at sub\-national \(regional\) level by proposing a quick top\-down method based only on the existing data sources. Research limitations\/implications\: The major limitation is the lack of a direct reconciliation of data between regional supply and regional demand which is actually the philosophy of any TSA. Practical implications\: The regionalization of TSA data proposed in this paper can be illustrative for countries having national TSAs and wishing to make advancements at sub\-national \(regional\) level."]
