Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the historical development of tourism through identified stages of the life cycle (TALC) model. Many of the major destinations in the world have a far longer history and go through various successive cycles with different phases. In this article, we present the case of Macedonia, as a Balkan mainland tourist destination. The analysis is based on primary and secondary data sources for an extended period. The article shows the life cycle of the tourist destination in combination and adaptation of new TALC model that matches regulation theories and the Ford paradigm of global model for tourism development of mass production and consumption. Finally, the paper suggests and recommends practical advice aimed at motivating key players in the formation of economic policy for tourism development.
