This paper presents the development of tourism market through the alternative forms of tourism. Origins and main definitions are presented followed by an analysis of the complexity of classifying the alternative forms of tourism. It is about developing new forms of sustainable tourism that integrate local populations and both natural and human environments of host countries. Ecotourism, cultural tourism and creative tourism support a different philosophy of tourism. Ecotourism in recent years encloses many tourism forms focused on natural environment. In the concept of alternative tourism, the dynamic growth of cultural tourism can be explained by the fast growth of demand for trips to various cultural attractions and amenities. Τhe increase of educated population around the world, the globalization and technology supported this growth. Cultural tourist, from consumer is transforming to producer of the cultural products and experiences. Since this type of tourist becomes more interactive and creative, cultural tourism needs to be repositioned and become more "creative" too. In this way, the present article provides a simplified approach of the new "alternative" tourism development and distinguishes the current trends in tourism market.

This research intends to shed light on the relation between individuals' saving motives and their intention towards saving, by examining the effect of background characteristics on a sample of 400 Bulgarian Pomaks. Findings revealed that future uncertainties consist the saving motive, which positively relates to the intention towards saving, with university graduates scoring higher on the saving intention scale than other educational groups. The implications of the findings are particularly important for the financial planners and educators since they are the ones who support Bulgarian Pomaks to maintain their standard of living and be prepared for financial uncertainty through saving.

Greece is a traditional agricultural country and has an important primary sector, mainly characterized by family farms. The major structural problems of the Greek agricultural sector are the small size of the holding, the land fragmentation, and the low educational level of human resources in rural areas. As a supplier of the Agribusiness sector, the farm is directly linked to the manufacturing industry. Our main purpose was to discover the conditions prevailing in the Greek Agribusiness Sector and its relationship with the Greek primary sector. The research was conducted in the Greek Agribusiness sector, using the SCP paradigm, in 2012. We found that special and atypical conditions prevail in Greek market, such as the significant heterogeneity of products, the bulk products supply, the existence of heterogeneity in the product sectors, and the special geographical conditions in a large part of Greek territory. We argue that imperfect competition prevails in parts of the Greek market, creating local niche markets, and giving to the local smes the opportunity to do business, to promote and sell their product range. Therefore, we note the existence of fragmentation in Greek market, either product or geographic, and the existence of a multidimensional Greek market reality, which have some specific impacts on the Greek Agribusiness market and thus, on the entrepreneurship in this sector.
