SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN THE FUNCTION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Keywords:
sustainable tourism, economic development, Republic of Serbia
Abstract
Future development of tourism should be in line with sustainable development. The Republic of Serbia receives the most tourism inflows from the countries with the biggest tourists’ arrivals and overnight stays in the Republic of Serbia. However, a significant discrepancy between tourism inflows and outflows has a negative impact on the economic development of Serbia. This paper aims to investigate the possibilities for eliminating these inconsistencies in line with developed countries and sustainable tourism development. The research method is based on the ranking of countries according to the mentioned criteria and mutual comparison. Tourism development of the Republic of Serbia lags behind developed countries, considering the limited importance tourism has for economic development, as well as the negative balance of inflows and outflows from tourism. That is why the economic dimension of sustainable development has the greatest discrepancies in sustainable tourism development, in relation to the ecological and social aspects, bearing in mind the significant cultural heritage and minor pollution from tourism in the Republic of Serbia.
