Abstract

The assessment of the potential for tourism development at regional level contributes to improving the regional tourism policy that purposefully supports sustainable tourism development, based on the cultural and historical heritage. The paper is part of a research series for ancient sites in Northern Bulgaria. It aims to present the potential of a region's resources, such as the late-antique and early Byzantine fortress Storgosia, to develop integrated and competitive tourist products with high added value which contribute to sustainable regional development and improve the quality of life through increased tourism demand. The classical empirical approach, statistical methods, descriptive and comparative analysis are used in the study. Methodology applied in assessing the potential of the specific anthropogenic resource is primarily designed for historical and cultural sites.
