Since the 20th century, tourism has turned into one of the economic activities of major growth in the world. The tourist activity mobilises public and private funds, affecting the economic and social conditions of the population, not only in the recipient countries but also in the issuers; and it can be a fundamental tool to achieve a sustainable development as it is a generator of employment and of currencies. This justifies the systematical pursuit of the tourist activity in a region or country. The purpose of the present research is to develop a methodology to determine the fuzzy consideration set of tourist destinations of university students, on the basis of the set of the places they know.
