Abstract
Tourism significantly influences the development of cultural heritage sites, yet it triggers substantial changes in their uniqueness and sense of place. This paper sheds light on the negative impact of tourism, specifically the loss of the authentic ambiance of the Old Bazaar in Skopje, North Macedonia, resulting from a rapid tourism flow and commercialization. To assess the perceptions of the supply side, interviews were conducted with owners, managers, and employees of local shops located in the core center of the bazaar. The findings underscore a diminishing authentic cultural identity of the Old Bazaar and a rapid transformation that jeopardizes its historical value. The research recommends reinforcing the maintenance, protection, and preservation of the Old Bazaar by implementing practices that facilitate sustainable tourism development.
