Still, part of the tourists makes decisions these actions to be done by themselves. That is why the topic of this paper is focused on the satisfaction that comes from the services used and the trust that the Macedonian tourists have in the Macedonian tour agencies. The attention is stressed on discovering the level of trust and which aspects of the gained service have appeared to be inappropriate, what is the satisfaction of the services that the agencies are offering before starting the tour and what is the experience after being part of a tour, and to find out the probability of joining an organized trip by a domestic tour agency depending on the service that the tourists got while using a tour. These questions are made with a goal to find the weak points of the services that the tourist agencies are giving, with a main goal to propose measures that need to be taken so that improvement of the trust in the Macedonian tourist agencies can be established, as well as a return customer to be achieved. To reach these goals a research on the opinion of 220 tourists was made, or more precisely Macedonians that have used the services of a domestic tour agency

Macedonia in 2019 in which the author was directly involved. The research involved determining the current state of cultural tourism through situation analysis and valorization of various cultural tourism potentials.

Two types of spatial units were defined - existing and new areas which were zoned and mapped. Existing areas have the aim to enrich the current tourism offer in order to make them more attractive. New areas have the purpose for creating new tourism products and services that will be competitive. This paper examines the South-west Planning Region as the most developed in the country with the aim to promote cultural tourism development.

It is required on a global level, to adequately distribute the development of tourism resorts and destinations, as well as to deal with the dangers that can arise and are related to overcrowding which can cause unsustainable development of the most visited and most attractive tourism places. The aim of the paper is to present the importance of the contemporary changes in tourism which requires adaptation of all participants in the creation of the tourism offer in given destinations. The destinations start to be considered as complex wholes with an aim to ensure competitiveness on the tourism market. Sustainable tourism has become a separate category of selective tourism offer. Destinations become to be a set of joint tourism products and services, which implies the active participation of all stakeholders. New concepts for achieving competitiveness have been developed such as: development of sustainable destinations, destination management planning and implementation of integrated quality management.
