Tourism significantly boosts the economies of Brașov and Sibiu, yet local residents face challenges like overcrowding and rising costs. In Brașov, restaurants have initiated "Brașov Residents' Wednesdays," offering discounts to locals to encourage them to return to city establishments. Despite the economic benefits, locals express frustration over traffic and crowded public spaces. A study indicates that while residents appreciate tourism's economic impact, they also feel the negative effects, such as increased living costs. Both cities now face the challenge of balancing tourist influx with the needs of their permanent residents.
