Abstract

The richness of tourist spaces is greater when there is an interrelationship between natural and anthropogenic forms. Unlike natural tourist motives, anthropogenic tourist motives are phenomena and processes in space that attract tourists and originated under the influence of human activity and creativity. Anthropogenic motives are an extremely important element for the development of alternative forms of tourism. Unlike natural motives, anthropogenic motives primarily satisfy people’s cultural needs; these values are important factors for human development and therefore for tourism. Cultural-historical monuments can act independently or as part of other tourist values that characterize a space such as the Southwest region of the Republic of North Macedonia. The Southwest region is rich in cultural heritage with a total of 278 sites dating from different time periods, representing a large potential for the development of alternative forms of tourism. Many tourists engage in travel motivated by a desire to satisfy their cultural needs, to learn about the historical and cultural heritage of certain countries or a region, and to experience achievements in various fields of culture, architecture, and art.
