There is a growing number of  young macedonian tourists visiting Macedonia from the diaspora, and most of these tourists either go straight to Ohrid or stay with their families in various cities accross Macedonia. 

Often, these guys do not get to see much of the country, and even though it is geographically small, they miss a number of great sites and experiences.

The suggestion is to run a contiki-style tour within Macedonia, initially tailored to the Macedonian youth from the diaspora, and then maybe to expand to accommodate western travellers.

The sights would be cultural, natural, and mainly social (i.e. kafani and nightclubs), with a possible highlight being Prilep's Pivofest. This service will boost tourist economies of several regions across Macedonia (not just Ohrid) and offer travellers the opportunity to see all parts of Macedonia and find out where they might like to visit for a longer period of time in the future. Many young travellers from the diaspora come to Macedonia for at least one month, so taking a 7-10 day tour will not throw their stay off too much.
