Abstract
The cultural potential of the destination can be measured by the quality and the cultural
and natural goods it possesses. In order for these goods to be placed on the market and to meet
the expectations of the tourists, it is necessary to create cultural attractions, which will make up
the cultural tourist product along with the other environmental factors. The fortresses in North
Macedonia are representative of the comprehensive cultural heritage, and as such are the subject
of this research paper. The purpose of this paper is determining the authenticity, recognisability,
landscaping and services, i.e. the positive and negative impressions of visiting the fortresses
through surveying the tourists on their opinion. This makes a realistic image that will help create
quality and authentic cultural tourist product that will meet the requirements and needs of the
end users.
