Summary/Abstract: The paper examines so-called “alternative tourism” by focusing on some Bulgarian good practices. The paper reviews the country’s most popular and distinctive destinations for this type of tourism: ski and mountain tourism, cultural tourism and agrotourism. It also highlights some of the problems related to underdeveloped regions from which many residents emigrate due to of public investments. There is also mention of ongoing projects and measures that are either being taken or could be taken to support alternative tourism in those areas. Clearly, the aim is to revitalize those peripheral, less-developed areas by emphasising their attractivity and, thus, turning marginalised and border regions into alternative tourist destinations.
