Abstract
Stara planina has great natural and anthropogenic potentials for tourism
development that have not been recognized by tourism experts. Intensive state
interest for tourism development started in 2006, when started building of
the master plan for winter tourism development at Babin zub area. However,
most of the central part of the mountain is part of Nature Park “Stara
planina” that can be endangered by mass tourism development. Within this
context, this paper researches potentials for ecotourism, as an alternative
to future mass tourism development. Started projects of mass tourism
development cannot be stopped, but also they do not have negative impacts to
natural surroundings. The aim of this paper is to represent ecotourism as a
“conscience”, a correction factor of mass tourism development.
