For that reason the research goal of this paper is to envisage a possible direction of change of the image of tourist destination Bulgaria based on the expressed attitudes of future professional for a new sustainable market position of the country. The author's findings and conclusions on the research topic are empirically based on the opinions of interviewed students enrolled in master and bachelor degree university programs in tourism.
