Synchronism and Dephasing in the Spatial and Qualitative Development of Tourism in Timişoara and Banat. Timişoara, the main polarization center from the western part of Romania, is also the biggest supplier of tourist requests from this part of the country. The increase in the income of a significant part of its inhabitants lead to the development of the tourist request and, in particular, to the evolution of its expectations regarding the quality of tourist services. The city and its pool of influence answered, in a certain measure, to such changes. However, a shift seems to have occurred between the city tourist request and the offer proposed by the Banat area. A shift which is about to cancel the former representations of Banat, as an area with famous tourist infrastructures of high performance. Is there being outlined, during the last years, a new tourist model typical for Banat? Which would be the options to consider in order to stimulate the implementation of a long term profitable model for the city of Timişoara and for the region of Banat ? This article intends to find some clarifications for these questions.

Key words: tourism, synchronism, dephasing, development, Timişoara, Banat.
