Abstract
The present study analyzes the cases of Alentejo Region (Portugal) and Bansko
Region (Bulgaria) as tourism destinations and demonstrates that situations modelled as
anti-commons are obstacles to individual entrepreneurial efforts of agents within the
tourism destination as well as impediments for the expansion of the tourism destination
as a whole. This paper posits that anti-commons theory is an appropriate theoretical
framework for identifying, analyzing and explaining problems emerging in tourism
destinations. This framework is useful for modelling optimal development strategies for
tourism products and destinations, combining measures provided by national and local
authorities with the ones of economic agents. The paper provides recommendations for
the future.
