Abstract:

This chapter explores the stakeholders’ perceptions of sustainability and the degree to which the principles of sustainability have been implemented in the policies and practices on Bulgaria’s North Black Sea Coast. It contributes to the body of knowledge on coastal tourism development in Eastern Europe and its problematic relationship with the concept of sustainability in times of rapid changes. A multidisciplinary and holistic approach is adopted to contextualise the study within the wider arena of politics and power and develop an analytical framework for the study of sustainable tourist development, which could be applied in similar contexts. An analytical framework was developed based on the research findings to explain the specific development pathways observable in the destination.
