Keywords:
clusters, support projects, tourism, competitive advantage
Abstract
In modern business conditions, the creation and maintenance of economic competitive advantage is an imperative. The EU has identified clusters as effective instruments for creating sustainable competitive advantage and regional development policy and placed them at prominent position within its development strategies. Territory-based merging of economic entities has created a synergetic effect, which means that members achieve better results by taking advantage of common functions and joint actions rather than with individual ones. A cluster model is an ideal instrument for establishing this cooperation since it links different entities that do not lose their independence by joining but only exploit joint activities in the strategy of future development. The paper highlights the importance of creating clusters support projects in the field of tourism on the territory of Vojvodina through examples of specific clusters aiming at creating sustainable competitive advantage of the regional and national economy.
