Социализиране на морското културно наследство чрез новаторски екскурзионни програми за специализиран фаров туризъм
Socialising Maritime Heritage through Innovative Excursion Programmes for Specialised Lighthouse Tourism

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the authors, a pharologist and a tour operator, both certified tourist guides, present the first tourist programme on the Bulgarian market focusing on lighthouses. Internationally, lighthouse tourism is recognised and gathers popularity as a tourism niche. In this paper, the authors introduce the term “lighthouse tourism” in Bulgaria and define the navigation lights as anthropogenic tourist resources. Lighthouses, as elements of heritage, increase the tourist potential of sites and communities along the Black Sea coast. With the present paper, the authors present their collateral projects for other specific tourist programmes related to the lighthouses and adapted to people with disabilities; to various sports and pastimes—velo, trekking, kayaking, sailing, eco, gourmet, etc. Those options are set to launch in the upcoming tourist seasons, following a successful implementation of the tours presented in the paper.
