Growing inflow of foreign tourists to Bulgaria, whose number exceeded 6 million persons in 1981, together with development of internal tourist movement intensified among others by 5-day working week, have generated research interest shared by many scientific disciplines. The theoretical knowledge about tourist movement and provision of services for tourists, known as „tourism", is pursued in Bulgaria by representives of economic and geographical sciences, architects, physicians and others grouped in two biggest centres i.e. in Sofia and Varna. The article discusses in greater detail research interests of the geography of tourism and other sciences dealing with problems of spatial tourist movement in Bulgaria. There have been distinguished four main directions of those studies. The article is based on the available literature of the subject and on the studies conducted by the author in Bulgaria in 1983.
