Multidisciplinary essence of the cultural
historical tourism and perspectives for its
cross border development on the Balkans
Maria Grozeva

Summary
The present work considers some aspects of one of the
types of specialized tourism, namely the cultural-historical
tourism, and its development in Bulgaria. There is
made a definition that this kind of tourism is a
multidisciplinary branch, which is close connected with
other science branches such as economy, sociology,
history, demography, sustainable territorial development,
etc An attempt is made, also, for juxtaposition and comparison
with other neighbour countries on the Balkans.
Except for the geographical proximity and rich experience,
this choice for comparison is determined by the fact
that most of the cultures and civilizations that emerged
on the Balkan Peninsula have left similar monuments in
all these countries exactly due to this geographical
neighbourhood, common historical destiny and possession
of a diverse natural and cultural-historical potential.
