The paper presents the networks of hostelry developing in tourism, along the case-study of Zetea's tourism history. The author – a sociologist studying in the MA program of the Babeş-Bolyai University – attempts to set up a new typology of the actors in the area of tourism. In the current structure of tourism in Zetea she distinguishes three types of entrepreneurs: occasional and permanent hosts, respectively tourism organizers. How these three types have formed? The qualitative research of Edit Gábos tries to find the answers to this question by observation and interviews.
