Abstract

Due to the fact that sustainable tourism development means applying the concept of
sustainability in the field of tourism, it is an idea economically viable, ecologically sustainable
as well as socially equitable. Despite of its noticeable and inevitable value, there is no exact
methodology for sustainability measurement, so the way out is detected in indicators
assessment. With regards to application of sustainable tourism development indicators,
various problems occur towards numerous criterions.
This paper attempts to estimate sustainable tourism development indicators in
Macedonia. In this respect, the research is based on various analyses made upon available
secondary data collected through desk-research on descriptive statistics. The outcomes
point out that Macedonia, opposite the most tourism-oriented countries, notes very modest
results. Finally, the paper emphasizes the need for undertaking measures for improving the
sustainability issue in general and particularly in tourism development. Moreover, it urges the
necessity for identifying effective framework for enhancing tourism sustainability within all
stakeholders involved in tourism process in Macedonia.
