Abstract

Macedonia despite the fact of being a landlocked country has a strategical
position within the Balkans. It’s location in the central part of the Southeastern
Europe makes Macedonia a naturally and culturally inevitable destination for all
the Balkan round trips. Since 2011 there is an increase of tourist arrivals from
the Benelux countries in unprecedented scales. It is a fact that the increased
interest for visiting Macedonia by tourists from the Netherlands and Belgium, is
mostly because of the subsidies granted as a supportive measure by the
Government. Momentally there is an unbreakable connection between tourist
flows, tourism propaganda and subsidizing in Macedonia, even though this kind
of support shouldn’t last for long. The main issue is whether the same level of
tourism turnover would be maintained if subsidizing ceased to exist and what
other measures should be undertaken in terms of sustainability of tourist arrivals
and increase of tourism turnover.
