THE IMPORTANCE OF ECOLOGICAL AND GASTRONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF RURAL TOURISM IN SERBIA
Keywords:
tourism, tourists, environment, gastronomy, World Tourism Organization, Republic of SerbiaAbstract
The importance and role of tourism is increasing in the world economy as it generates large incomes,
creates new jobs and has a positive impact on the development of rural areas. The consequence of this is an
increasing number of tourists and therefore an increased demand for tourist services. Current problems of tourism
development, both in theoretical approach and in practice, are numerous. Tourist destinations today are facing
increased competition in the market, so the owners of tourism policies and offers have realized that understanding
the factors that influence the positioning of the destination on the market, ie the competitiveness of the destination,
is essential for further development. The increase in the number of tourists has a negative impact on the environment
as demands of tourists are increasing. Negative problems and environmental impacts are: pressure on natural
resources, the living world and habitats, generation of waste, emission of pollutants. Tourism should have a plan to
keep the quality of the environment at a high level, as the development of the destination depends on the status of
the natural resources. Never the less the final judges of the tourism product are the consumers of tourist services.
From an environmental point of view tourists are to listed on the negative side speaking of ecoperspective, but from
an economical and velorizational stand, they are the key stakeholders in the tourism system.
