With the same aim, the inhabitants of the City of Vrsac were also surveyed in mid-2022. This paper presents the results concerning the youth of these two cities. The survey covered 2.6% of the population between 15 and 24 years old in the City of Pancevo and 2.2% of the population between 15 and 24 years old in the City of Vrsac. Less than half of the respondents have the habit of going to nature in their free time, and the main obstacles to this are the lack of free time and money, as well as the lack of direct public transport connections. In addition to the main research hypothesis, some other hypotheses were tested related to the similarities or differences between different groups of respondents in terms...

This is confirmed by data on the number of tourists and overnight stays, followed by pronounced economic effects. Modern tourism business requires a trained and skilled workforce. This is especially important if we take into account that tourism is a labor-intensive industry. The man is the main service producer. Education of the staff for work in the service sector requires knowledge from various fields (geography, economics, sociology, management, philology, psychology, ecology, technology, medicine, etc.). Consequently, tourism workers must possess a broad general and humanistic culture and education.The aim of this paper is to analyze the study programmes of higher education institutions from Serbia which educate staff in the field of tourism and hospitality. This will point out the multidisciplinary knowledge required in both operational as well in the managerial and scientific-research sector.The paper was publishe...

To this day, there is controversy about the environmental, economic and socio-cultural sustainability of this global industry. Although selective forms are increasingly being promoted, mass tourism is still dominant, with many consequences. Its impacts are especially visible in small and sensitive areas, with many visitors and associated infrastructure (uncontrolled urbanization). Therefore, this paper aims to point out the sustainability of its development in the area of the mountain center Zlatibor in southwestern Serbia. As one of the most visited destinations after the capital of Belgrade and Vrnjačka Banja Spa, in the last two decades have been under increasing pressure that exceeds its capacity. The European Union methodology for comparative indicators of sustainable tourism was used. The survey was supplemented by an analysis of official statistics.

Kao jedna od najznačajnijih biljnih kultura grožđe se uzgaja u gotovo svim delovima sveta. Grožđe i vino predstavljaju značajan deo spoljnotrgovinske razmene mnogih zemalja. Iako poseduje izuzetne preduslove za uzgoj vinove loze Srbija zaostaje u pogledu proizvodnje i izvoza grožđa i vina. U novije vreme veliki doprinos u širenju proizvodnje imaju mali, individualni proizvođači koji preuzimaju primat od nekadašnjih „društvenih giganata“ iz sedamdesetih i osamdesetih godina prošlog veka. Stoga, cilj rada je ukazati na efekte gajenja vinove loze i proizvodnje vina na svetskom i nivou Srbije, dok se na mikro planu akcenat stavlja na prostor Šumadije tj. područje opštine Topola i naselje Vinča (gazdinstvo „Arsenijević“).The cultivation of grapes and wine production have great cultural significance.

Daily influence of anthropogenic factors reduces the environmental quality of the cities. The social awareness of nature conservation for the present and future generations is becoming more developed. Therefore, the green zones are significant on the one hand for the daily functioning of the population, and on the other hand as part of the tourist offer. The aim of this paper is inventarization and valorization of protected natural assets in the City of Belgrade, in order to create integrated tourist offer. We used the available domestic and international literature dealing with the issue of tourism development in urban areas, as well as existing spatial planning legislation. The results showed that, with adequate management, natural resources in urban areas could sustain the ecological function, but also could develop additional, such as tourism function. This paper analysis will help the organization of tourism activ...

In the second half of the twentieth century this branch of tourism attracted a significant segment of tourist demand, both domestic and foreign. Serbia has many Special hospitals for rehabilitation in its spa resorts. In the last two decades the emphasis is not on treatment (rehabilitation). The health improvement has taken priority over "classic balneological treatment of disease". Wellness/spa has become a key tourism product in such destinations. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine the effects of transformation of rehabilitation hospitals into wellness centers, in several, most visited Serbian spa resorts.Hotellink: časopis za hotelijerstvo, restoraterstvo i gastronomiju, ISSN 1451-5113; vol. 17, no. 27-2

The present paper deals with the City Municipality of Vranjska Banja as a pioneer in the territory of Serbia in using geothermal energy for heating. The concept and methodology of the present research are directly related to the utilization of geothermal resources for district heating in the Vranjska Banja area. The presented analysis includes: determining the available amount of energy, identifying the energy needs of selected public facilities, and the estimation of investment necessary for energy utilization. A survey, combined with field research, is focused on four public facilities connected to the heating system relying on geothermal sources, as well as on two facilities that should be connected to the system in the next phases. The results show economic, ecological,...
