Many of the major destinations in the world have a far longer history and go through various successive cycles with different phases. In this article, we present the case of Macedonia, as a Balkan mainland tourist destination. The analysis is based on primary and secondary data sources for an extended period.

Finally, the paper suggests and recommends practical advice aimed at motivating key players in the formation of economic policy for tourism development.展开更多
