The Analysis of the Tourism Infrastructure of Alba Iulia City. Tourism plays a very important role from the point of view of its contribution to the local economy and from the point of view of creating a positive and attractive imagine of the urban centre or region it promotes. This is the premise that stays at the basis of this study. Therefore, I conducted my research from two perspectives.The first one identifies the touristic resources of the city, capable of sustaining the cultural tourism and its capacity of receiving tourists. The second one is concerned with analyzing Alba Iulia in the regional context. The position of Alba Iulia in the Transylvanian region has a major impact on the evolution of the cultural tourism because of its proximity of two important urban centers. This proximity is responsible for the type of tourism the town experiences, namely the transit tourism. At the city level, the anthropic resources are poorly promoted and therefore some touristic strategies with the role of promoting these resources and of improving the imagine of the city should be taken.

Keywords: anthropic resources, material base, infrastructure, cultural tourism, transit tourism.
