%X After the middle of the 90’s tourism became a major source of profits and economic power for the city of Varna as the most visited and the biggest coastal municipality at the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. Multiple problems arose from the pressure that the sector put on the quality of the environment in the area. These problems alarmed for a better integration of the activities and stricter regulations for new resort constructions. In this thesis it is suggested that Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) could contribute to balance the conflicting stakeholder interests and keep the tourism growth within certain bounds – environmental, socio-cultural and economic. This approach can try to achieve more sustainable levels of tourism development.
