Tropical geometry has been proved successful to study various types of enumerative
numbers, including Gromov-Witten invariants for toric surfaces and Hurwitz numbers
with at most two special points. In my talk I will try to give an overview on
some showcase results, recent developments (counting "real'' curves) and relations
to other approaches.
