The paper aims to outline an image of the perception that tourists or potential visitors have on some aspects analyzed but also the importance of their evolution in promoting the country brand. The purpose of this paper was to quantify the collective image of young people from Bucharest regarding the historical towns of Sighisoara, Alba Iulia, Sibiu, Baia Mare and Suceava in terms of the level at which the offer and the tourist infrastructure is perceived in the urban environment of Bucharest and also the potential that these cities represent in promoting the country brand.
