Abstract

The municipalities of Prilep, Krushevo, Dolneni, and Krivogashtani have not yet fully harnessed their considerable tourism development potential, particularly when it comes to their rich archaeological heritage. These regions possess a significant number of archaeological sites that, if properly developed and promoted, could greatly boost the tourism appeal and overall development of these municipalities. Archaeological tourism is an essential driver of both economic growth and cultural promotion in these areas. These sites are not merely historical landmarks; they represent unique cultural treasures that can attract a wide variety of visitors, including both domestic and international tourists. To fully unlock their potential, a detailed and comprehensive inventory of these archaeological sites must first be conducted.
This should be followed by an in-depth assessment of their historical, cultural, and economic value, as well as their capacity to contribute to regional development. The overarching goal of tourism planning in these municipalities is to not only improve existing conditions but also to develop a sustainable and long-term vision for growth. These archaeological assets are regarded as critical components of the broader regional context, providing key insights into the area’s historical narratives and cultural evolution. Proper valorization of these sites is fundamental to their integration into a dynamic and adaptable tourism product, specifically tailored to meet the needs and expectations of modern tourists. By aligning tourism promotion strategies with the diverse interests of contemporary visitors, these municipalities can provide an engaging, informative, and culturally enriching experience, fostering local and regional growth while ensuring long-term sustainable development.
