Аннотация
Security, having a multilateral character – as a state of the social system, a complex process, a function of the
state, etc. – reflects the level of satisfaction of the fundamental national interests of a country, as well as the actions
taken, on a single ideological basis, to promote those interests and defend them against aggression, dangers, threats
and risks of any kind. The tourism sector is an important economic sector globally and locally and offers real prospects for sustainable and inclusive economic growth. Safety is one of the most important criteria in supporting the
tourism industry. Diplomatic channels, negotiation, cooperation and exchange of experience have always been and
remain the most viable ways for a state to achieve its foreign policy objectives in relation to its domestic needs, especially for the Republic of Moldova with limited energy resources and infastructure still in the present.
Keywords: security, energy security, tourism, sustainable development, renewable resources, interests, cooperation, infrastructure.
