Abstract

In today competitive tourism market, with the rise of the web 2.0 era, destinations have shifted their focus from the traditional means of promotion to the online process. This study examined the online marketing of 10 Romanian cities as emerging destinations for cultural tourism based on the content analysis of website content. Using Google search to select tourism websites for analysis and applying eMICA model, a review of 200 websites was made, so as to understand how each city is promoting its image and products online.
