Summary

It is a well known fact that tourism is one of the most promising sectors of economy in Bulgaria. But its development predominantly on the seashore of the Black Sea and in limited inland locations has proven its irrational nature: great areas of the country appear unable to realize their potential. Due to this reason we often discuss alternative tourism nowadays, which offers some opportunity for development of territories lagging behind tourist destinations. One such territory is the municipality of Dalgopol. This report reviews its specific features from geographic point of view. It also outlines the region’s main advantages and potential for alternative tourism.
