Abstract
The main focus of the study is the analysis of the depopulated rural areas in order to identify potential for undertaking tourism activities. For this purpose, several villages from all regions of North Macedonia are selected, particularly those which are facing with the problem of continuous depopulation. The study found that the sampled locations have a well-preserved natural rural environment, traditional ambiance, local organic food and gastronomic cuisine, and offer unique experience with no pollution and stress. Hence, they may start introducing tourism activities in the line of attracting tourists and visitors. As such, developing rural tourism may be identified as an alternation for boosting rural economy.
