In this economy which mostly relies on agriculture, farmlands are afflicted with floods one year and drought in another. To balance these, canal systems are already built. Because of the size of the canal network, its periodic monitoring requires huge amount of work and recourses. Our research investigates possibility of aerial monitoring of regional irrigation and drainage canals using drones. Autonomous flying robots are becoming more and more popular in recent years. This is happening because the technology they are based on is getting less expensive, quadcopters have broken into the consumer market, so the manufacturing costs are constantly decreasing. This enables them to be used both in research and in the industry without having to pay huge amounts of money. In this research, a commercially available quadcopter has been used to monitor water canals around the city. By design, the devic...

Understanding the motivation for travel is essential for the tourism development of the destination and long-term business. This study used the pushpull-mooring model (PPM model) to explain the factors that influence the decision of tourists to visit agritourism destinations in Serbia after the Covid-19 pandemic, with an emphasis on the economic factors of travel. The results obtained by multiple regression analysis indicate a significant effect of economic, as well as other factors within the model, on the decision of tourists. The significance of the research is reflected in the creation of a realistic picture of the influence of factors on tourists’ decisions, and therefore on the creation of future management steps in the management of an agro-tourism destination.

The aim of the research was to establish the influence of psychological profiles of tourists on their decision to choose a tourist destination, using three psychographic techniques BFI-10 (Big Five Inventory), AIO (Activities, Interests, Opinions), and VALS 2 (Values and lifestyle), and a freely determined six-level scale of risk and tourist attractiveness of the imagined destinations. By analyzing the results through structural modeling-path analysis, it was determined that almost all psychographic orientations derived from lifestyles negatively perceive destinations with a high degree of risk and attractiveness, while with the VALS 2 technique, only members of the action orientation tend to accept the risk and challenge of visiting high-risk destinations. The results of the research have a degree of innovation in the application of the combination of the mentioned models, as well as in the theoretical and applied aspects in supplementing the building and strategic planning of the future business.

The goal of this research was to determine to what extent environmental risks and the attractiveness of the destination influence the choice of destination and the behavior of tourists. Furthermore, the goal was to determine the influence of psychological groups of tourists on their decision to choose a tourist destination using three psychographic techniques: BFI-10 (Big Five Inventories), AIO (Activities, Interests, and Opinions), and VALS 2 (Values and Lifestyle), and a freely determined six-level scale of risk and tourist attractiveness of imagined destinations. Analyzing the results obtained through the structural modeling-path analysis model, it was determined that tourists grouped in almost all psychographic orientations, resulting from lifestyles, negatively perceive destinations with a high degree of risk and attractiveness...

The paper will review the literature published since 2013, with a focus on the latest approaches and technologies used in food and beverage management in hotels. A comparative analysis will be used to provide a better understanding of how food and beverage management is implemented in different hotels. Additionally, the paper will investigate key trends in the field and explore how the use of new technologies and approaches can impact the effectiveness and profitability of a hotel's food and beverage operations. Overall, this paper aims to provide insights and best practices for managing food and beverage in hotels.

The findings were designated through implementing the freshly upgraded methodology—M-GAM-1-2 based on an early modified geosites assessment model (M-GAM). To overcome the limitations of the previous model, the authors implemented additional enhancements and involved members of the local community (residents and authorities) in the study to comprehensively evaluate the observed sites. The outcomes revealed that the attitudes of all stakeholders should be taken into consideration in order to develop geotourism properly, additionally attract visitors, and preserve tufa deposits for future generations of locals and visitors. Moreover, geotourism at the observed sites can be one of the vital activities of the population, as well as a type of compensation for various limitations in the deve...

This study aims to provide an understanding of the relationship between tourist personality (MINI IPIP-6 and sensation seeking), tourists’ reactions to travel risk perception and changes in their travel behavior influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. To explore this, a global survey including 905 respondents from four countries (Spain, Croatia, Serbia and Russia) was conducted, while data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS. The findings suggest that tourist personality affects the changes in travel behavior influenced by COVID-19, both directly and via their reactions to travel risk.

LinkedIn is increasingly present by companies, businesses offering jobs as well as people looking for a business opportunity. The aim of the research was to determine the extent to which the LinkedIn network has an impact on employment in the Republic of Serbia and to investigate the attitudes of users of this network. The survey was conducted from January to March 2022 on a sample of 244 respondents, users of the LinkedIn network. SPSS software was used, 26.00, and the obtained data were analyzed by descriptive statistics. To determine the structure of the questionnaire and the percentage of variance, an exploratory factor analysis was performed together with a higher order factor analysis, in order to obtain the desired number of factors. The authors used multiple regression analysis to confirm the significance of the predictors. The resu...

The subject of the research refers to the Divčibare hotel (Maljen mountain, R. Serbia). The goal and task of this study is to examine the attitudes and opinions of hotel guests how service and culinary choices can affect respondents' satisfaction and guest loyalty. The survey was conducted in September 2022 on a sample of 250 respondents. Methods used in paper to obtain research answers are: descriptive statistical analysis, Mann Whitney test, arithmetic mean and standard deviation, reliability analysis, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, Correlation analysis and Pearson's coefficient. Based on conducted research, respondents indicated that hotel gastronomic offer, loyalty, satisfaction and services provided, can greatly affect the branding of the Divčibare hotel.

As weather-related hazards continue to increase in numbers and spatial distribution, risk perception in the tourism industry becomes even more important. Additionally, people’s perception of natural hazards is one of the key elements in their decision-making process when choosing a travel destination. Although a vast number of studies have examined aspects of risk perception, an integrated approach which considers both objective and subjective factors related to the tourism industry and hydro-meteorological hazards remains relatively scarce. This pioneering study inspects the causality between objective perceived risks, as well as subjective risk factors. A methodological approach and the obtained results present a certain novelty since the previous conceptualized Psychological Preparedness for Disaster Threat Scale (PPDTS) was applied for the first...

The gastronomy of Vojvodina has been forming as a reflection of geographic characteristics—natural conditions and social events in this area. The life numerous nations share on this fertile soil of Vojvodina has initiated mutual impact of various customs, which contributed to the creation of a unique and specific Vojvodina cuisine. In this paper, mixed-method research approach was applied. The application of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method was preceded by a survey research on the sample of 289 guests in the restaurants on the territory of Vojvodina. The aim of the research was to define the key motives when choosing a traditional Vojvodina dish. In the second stage, AHP model was used for ranking factors significant for choosing traditional food by 29 experts in the field of hospitality and gastr...
