Marginality is a complex phenomenon resulting from specific natural, economic as well as socio-cultural attributes of individual regions. It includes impossibility of population living in the given territory to integrate itself into main developmental trends. Transforming marginality into comparative advantage can be seen as one of promising ways to overcome it. As a region marginal from socio-economic perspective but highly attractive as tourist destination, the Šumava Mts. was chosen as a model area to demonstrate the idea. Documented by empirical findings, the latest history of the region is discussed in terms of assessing of strong and weak points of developmental strategy adopted by the region, which is based on tourism as the main agent fostering region's socio-economic wake.
