The concept of cultural routes has evolved significantly through the years, often outlining the interactive, synergetic, and sustainable character of such complex tourist products. The success and development of various cultural routes went in line with specialization trends in the tourism sector. Allowing diversity and certain flexibility, it provided opportunities for synergetic relations
between nature, culture, and living societies, being in line with the sustainable development
agenda. Apart from the growing specialization and diversification of tourist products, the
development of cultural routes is also in line with current lifestyle trends that shape tourist
behaviors towards the concept of “active tourism”, “slow tourism” and/or “solo tourism” having in
mind the global trend towards more active individualist society. Cultural routes usually provide
specially designed “tailor-made” products, a variety of information and digital support and tools available for touris...ts to provide quality information and experiences: maps and tourist guides, accommodation lists and ratings, information on destinations and attractions, useful advice, traveler networks, and blogs, etc. However, its functionality and success are of a more complex nature compared to standard tourist products. The cultural route programs mostly develop in a form of destination networks and projects and highly rely on the enthusiasm and organizational capacities of the organizations that are dedicated to its development and functionality. This study examines the synergetic effects of various tourism concepts and presents successful
management practices in the creation process of the European cultural route “Sultan’s Trail” as
long-distance hiking and cycling destination, applying sustainable tourism practices to
underdeveloped and still undiscovered but attractive region, the Balkans. The aim is to highlight
the synergies between common philosophy and tourist promotion, safeguarding and
conservation of heritage, and enhancing the economic, social, and cultural well-being of tourists and local communities (user’s perspective). It also outlines some challenges and opportunities foreseen from the local perspective, and some issues to overcome in the future from the developer’s perspective.
