Prof. PhD University "Goce Delcev" - Shtip [email protected] Republic of Macedonia ntroduction: Tourism covers a set of business organizations, businesses and government agencies that drive goods and services and store means of transport, programs and resources I for travel and leisure. The tourism sector can be defined as a set of those economic and trade activities that produce goods and services that are intended for foreign and domestic tourists. By the (20th century), a small number of people traveled for pleasure, most journeys were driven by trade, going to pilgrimage, and other religious motives, or to education. Today in (XXI century), tourism motivation is more complicated and most often covers several reasons for traveling. For example, if you go somewhere for health reasons, concerts that are held at a selected destination help in making final decisions for walking just in that place. TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM IN THE VARDAR CANE KOTESKI, NIKOLA DIMITROV. REGION OF THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA ZLATKO JAKOVLEV, MARIA MAGDICHEVA-SHOPOVA, DUSHKO JOSHESKI, TATIANA BOSKOV, CVETANKA RISTOVA 222-231 222 Due to the numerous influences that it has, tourism is an important factor for regional development. Firstly, the positive economic impacts of tourism on local, regional and national levels are highlighted, especially in places that are tourism-developed, giving them the opportunity for equal access, economic growth and development. The positive effects of the development of tourism in the Republic of Macedonia are seen in the increase in the number of tourists on an annual basis. Its impacts are particularly high on regional development, in which countries see an opportunity for economic progress. Tourism development is associated with regional development as it is associated with a range of activities. According to the European requirements, the Republic of Macedonia is divided into eight planning regions: Skopje region; Northeast planning region; East Planning Region; South-East planning region; Vardar Planning Region; Pelagonia planning region; Southwest planning region; Polog planning region. In addition, the scientific work will analyze the Vardar planning region, as well as the opportunities offered by it for the development of tourism. 1. Tourism The tourism industry, which began its mass in the 1950s (XIX century), has been growing fast and secure over the past 60 years, in terms of revenue generated and the number of people traveling abroad. According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 935 million people have traveled internationally in recent years, compared with 25 million in 1950. People perform recreational activity in nature, such as water recreation (bathing, rowing, thermal and thermomineral waters), as winter recreation (skiing, sledding, hiking, etc.). 2. The tourism in the Vardar region The Vardar region covers the central part of the Republic of Macedonia and extends along the Vardar River and the Ovche Pole valley. According to the data from 2016, this region has the smallest number of inhabitants, or 7.4% of the total population. It extends to 16.2% of the territory of the Republic of Macedonia and at the same time is the least populated region with only 37.8 inhabitants per 1 km2. Figure 1. Geographical position of the Vardar region in the Republic of Macedonia. The region consists of nine municipalities: Veles, Kavadarci, Negotino, Sveti Nikole, Demir Kapija, Caska, Gradsko, Rosoman and Lozovo. It is bordering on the southern side of Greece, which is of great importance for encouraging cross-border cooperation. Through the corridor 10 (aphthopathic Friendship) and the M-5 highway, the region is connected to all parts of the country, making it frequent in terms of the number of passengers passing by. The richness of water resources, rivers and artificial lakes, favorable climatic conditions, ie the influence of the Mediterranean climate that penetrates the valley of the Vardar River in this region, as well as the specific geomorphological configuration of the terrain, are the main conditions for this region to be recognizable by the production of fruit and a vine with distinctive geographical origin. In this region, most of the wine cellars and processing facilities for vines in the Republic of Macedonia are concentrated.

The region is characterized by an exceptional low population density of 38 inhabitants per km2, and four of the municipalities in the region are rural. The share of the urban population is much greater than the people living in the countryside, although 4 of the municipalities are rural, which can be seen in Table 2. Table 2.

At the same time, the existence of hunting grounds allows the development of hunting tourism. In addition, the region has a wealth of cultural heritage, the archaeological site of Stobi, a number of traditional buildings, historical monuments. Climatic conditions, relief and hydrography in the region create excellent conditions for cultivation of different types of crops, about 12% of the total agricultural area in the Republic of Macedonia is located in this region. Most developed in the region is the cultivation of the vineyard, after which the region is recognizable. It follows the cultivation of cereals, ie wheat, barley and corn. The Vardar River, which has the largest water capacity in the country, passes through the region and provides producers of agricultural products with water for irrigation.

Special attention will be given to the opportunities for development of wine tourism, as well as the ways in which the local self-government and the whole local community can be involved in the development of this branch. The Tikvesh region has excellent potentials for the development of wine tourism. The exceptional location, the pleasant climate, the existence of cultural and historical landmarks and traditional manifestations, the abundance of local food products of high quality, the long-standing tradition in catering expressed in a number of well-arranged and equipped catering facilities, and certainly the production of many varieties of wine with exceptional quality are excellent preconditions for the development of wine tourism. Key words: Tourist destination, tourism, wine, wine tours, wineries. Introduction The Municipality of Negotino is located in Photo 1. Municipality of Negotino the central part of Republic of Macedonia, in the area of the middle Povardarie.

The level of achievement reached by the project is impressive and we would like to extend our thanks to the team at FAO Headquarters that has been able to successfully manage such a complex and sensitive project and at the same time create a sustainable private enterprise which is now playing a leading role in the market oriented development of the fruit and vegetable sector in the country. Though the model needs some fine-tuning, the Evaluation Team has oriented its analysis and prepared its conclusions in a way which underlines the priority issues that need to be addressed in order to ensure a full sustainability of the Project by the end of the present No Cost Extension (28 February 2006) and lays the ground for eventual future FAO assistance. This work gave rise to a very intense exchange of views and despite the difficulties and exacting workload, the project team maintained a high spirit and a clear commitment to the success of the Project as it has since

The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 92,668 has been allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the Macedonian Red Cross in delivering immediate assistance to 1,300 beneficiaries. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Extreme cold and snowfall in the past two weeks have caused many problems in nine regions in Macedonia. On 8th February, more than 80 villages were reported to be totally isolated because of the snow. Governmental institutions are working on clearing the roads. The Macedonian Red Cross has undertaken to Macedonian Red Cross volunteers offering hot beverages respond immediately by meeting the basic needs of during the cold wave.
