| description | A re-examination of the concept of tourism reveals new dimensions and
draws specialists’ attention to its multi-directional social influences.
Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the global economy,
fostering economic development worldwide. It is recognised that
tourism must be developed and managed in a controlled, integrated
and sustainable manner. With a joint effort, an attempt could be made
to realise objectives like improvement of quality, competiveness and
sustainability of tourism products offered regardless of the particular
scale – national, regional, or international – by “pursuing” tourists’
needs.
However, this paper is focused on the priority given to the tourism
industry in the economic development of the Republic of Bulgaria in bid
to position the country well on the international level of
competitiveness. This necessitates research on the opportunities of
tourism and the economy of Bulgaria to help attain the competitiveness
within the context of sustainable development. |
