Abstract

Almost every tourist stay in the world is based, in addition to natural tourist motives, also on cultural motives, which gives tourist flows a more complex physiognomy and creates conditions for a longer stay in a tourist destination, thus being associated with direct effects on the structure and volume of tourist consumption. Anthropogenic tourism motives are human-made elements that attract tourists to a destination. This paper will discuss anthropogenic motives in North Macedonia, which ones are those, and how their exploitation affects the development of tourism in this country. To make it easier to explain them, we have made a classification of anthropogenic tourist motives into groups: cultural-historical monuments, ethno-social values, landscape-environmental features, and manifestations.
