Abstract

Identity is a trait, a property, a sense of something that exists and that stands out and differs from others. Macedonian identity is a unique feature of an ancient nation with its own language that existed and still exists on the territory of Macedonia. The uniqueness of the Macedonian identity is more of a millennial mosaic layered overlaid with diverse natural and cultural heritage.
The paper is unique and consists of two parts. In the first part, Macedonian natural and cultural heritage included in the current UNESCO list is mentioned. Whereas, in the second part, only a part of the national - Macedonian cultural heritage will be listed according to properties (immovable, movable and spiritual). According to the criteria for cultural world heritage, the unique Macedonian intangible spiritual heritage is presented with arguments, with proposals for placing more properties in the future UNESCO list.
From the rich treasury of the Macedonian spiritual heritage, 30 Macedonian national goods (benefits) have been singled out, of which 11 proposals for folklore goods (Macedonian quick phrases, etc.), 5 language proposals (Macedonian language - centuries. - old tradition. , etc.) are singled out. ), 8 proposals for toponyms (the name Macedonia - a unique geographical civilizational value, etc.) and 6 proposals for a Register for good conservation (Preservation of stork nests, etc.).
Finally, in the conclusion, we give recommendations to competent stakeholders (scientists, experts in areas, national and world institutions for cultural heritage) to enter all the mentioned Macedonian benefits in the national register of intangible assets and in the representative list of world intangible heritage of UNESCO. In this way, the tourist identity of Macedonia as a world cultural heritage will be raised.
