“…The challenges that COVID-19 brought to residents of a WH tourism destination may be additionally investigated along with new insights during the main season to see whether there are any changes in residents' perception. Fourth, the model may be enhanced with other aspects of sustainability, as technology, security, and even more direct links to tourism governance (i Gispert and Clavé, 2020) and responsible tourism (Bernardo and Pereiro, 2020). Finally, the future studies may address the importance of OUV protection for residents and policy actors.…”

“…Effective governance and management of diverse sets of stakeholders is a prerequisite for the development of sustainable tourism (Liburd and Becken, 2017;, Mihalič, 2020. Fostering responsible tourism development and ensuring the long-term viability of the WH destination by implementing active tourism policies is crucial for future-oriented site management (Bernardo and Pereiro, 2020;Garbelli, Adukaite, and Cantoni, 2017). Responsibility, when properly addressed can contribute to improvement in the QOL locally (Eraqi, 2014), but simultaneously involve public and private sectors as well as internal and external stakeholders that follow the principles of sustainability (Getz, 2009;Spenceley, 2008).…”

World Heritage (WH) status is anticipated to promote sustainable development by protecting the destination’s outstanding natural and cultural resources, generating economic advantages, attracting visitors, and improving the quality of life for its residents. Putting the economic advantages and values first has a critical effect on the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV), which negatively impacts the destination’s sustainability, such as quality of life. This study proposes a sustainability model based on UNESCO OUV to evaluate tourism’s role in a WH destination’s residents’ perception of quality of life. The model was tested on a WH destination Ohrid (North Macedonia). The findings revealed that tourism has a beneficial economic impact while also having a negative influence on the OUV ecological environment and residents’ perception of quality of life. The discussion takes place in UNESCO’s considerations to add Ohrid to the list of WH in Danger due to unsustainable tourism development. The findings encourage destination managers to take responsibility for the OUV resources and to take the necessary actions to improve tourism sustainability. The model can be easily adapted and applied to any WH destination.

“…Respondents affirmed that strategic documents designed for the preservation and protection of the authenticity and aesthetic cultural value of the Old Bazaar have only yielded short-term impacts, lacking adequate monitoring and management at the local level. Ensuring the long-term viability of the Old Bazaar as a tourism heritage site necessitates the implementation of responsible policies for future-oriented cultural site management (Bernardo & Pereiro, 2020).…”

Tourism-Induced Transformations of Cities: Insights from the Old Bazaar in Skopje, North Macedonia

The Old Bazaar in Skopje, North Macedonia, stands as a prominent city landmark, attracting numerous tourists and visitors. Beyond its role as a tourist attraction, it is recognized as a cultural heritage site of significant importance for the country and warrants permanent protection. Given its substantial daily tourism flow, the Old Bazaar serves as a compelling case for in-depth analysis.This paper delves into the transformation of the Old Bazaar resulting from tourism development by interpreting the perceptions of local supply-enablers. Through a series of interviews, data were collected and evaluated using a scale that facilitated the quantification of respondents' perceptions. Additionally, qualitative data was assessed, contributing to the empirical generalization of the findings.The findings underscore a dramatic transformation of the Old Bazaar over the years, primarily attributed to the rapid growth of tourism and extensive commercialization. A singular focus on the economic aspect of the Bazaar's functioning jeopardizes its cultural values. Consequently, the study advocates for the formulation of strategies to sustain tourism while preserving the authentic essence of the Old Bazaar.

“…Additionally, education, knowledge and informing, promotion of local culture, and ethical behaviour of all parties are also involved. Bernardo and Pereiro (2020) go one step further by reflecting on the social role of responsible tourism, business practices and their effects on communities, and the role of public authorities. These authors propose a unified theory for responsible tourism, based on accountability, sustainability, and behaviour constituting a new definition of ethical tourism practice.…”

This research aims to analyse the factors that affect the level of commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of marine tourism companies and restaurants. This commitment can be conditioned by economic reasons, stakeholder pressure, difficulties in implementing socio-environmentally responsible actions, and adaptation to change, as reflected in the innovative activities of companies, as well as by the degree of collaboration with public and private agents. This study was carried out on the island of Fuerteventura. A Likert scale questionnaire with 39 items was designed to collect the data, which was processed using a combination of factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results show that innovation, stakeholder pressure, and economic reasons have positive effects on companies’ commitment to CSR, while poor collaboration with public and private actors and implementation difficulties have negative effects. Given that this sector is highly regulated and depends on different public authorities to carry out its activity, collaboration with the public administration must be improved to reduce barriers for companies and their activities. Moreover, when an island’s economy depends almost exclusively on tourist activity, it is essential to develop responsible tourism. This requires public authorities that organise and promote sustainable uses of the territory, while encouraging dialogue and facilitating mechanisms for private initiatives, as well as socio-environmentally responsible companies.
