Summary/Abstract: The report examines the current state, territorial features and long-term trends in the supply, demand and efficiency of accommodation facilities in the Rila-Pirin tourist region for a period of 20 years, which addresses the acute information gap regarding the situation and trends in the development of tourist regions. The region is emerging as one of the leading in Bulgaria, with the exception of the Black Sea regions. It is emphasized that its tourist development is determined by a limited number of municipalities, that the change in its position is determined mainly by the trends of domestic demand and that the rapid quantitative growth does not lead to a corresponding improvement of the performance of accommodation establishments.
