Abstract

The Alternative tourism works in conditions of complex, dynaamic and difficult foreseeable environment. This necessitates analysis of the Supply Chain System (SCS) parameters and research on possibilities for modelling in optimal range. To achieve the aims and objectives of Tourism SCS is particularly important Distribution Network Structure (DNS). Alternative tourism characteristics and complex nature of Green Lodges and Guesthouses require integrative approach for analysis of the SCS. This scientific research presents applying opportunities of the tools benefits of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create optimal distribution chain for the SCS in alternative tourism. GIS tools and the Centre-of-Gravity technique are used to locate the Distribution Centre in a geographic area with Green Lodges and Guesthouses in Bulgaria. The objects of this study are the certified Green Lodges and Guesthouses in Bulgaria, according to database of State Fund Agriculture (SFA) and Bulgarian Association for Alternative Tourism (BAAT). Specialized data is based on existing data of certificated Green Lodges and Guesthouses and national administrative data base in Bulgaria. All the data are integrated in a common GIS database for Green Lodges via MapInfo Professional and other software packages.
