Analysis of tourist turnover in a rural tourism destination: Case study of Ivanjica

The specificity and diversity of the natural and anthropic patrimonies of the different regions can lead to the development of tourism and, as a result, to the sustainable development in those communities. Starting from the fact that Caraş-Severin and Timiş counties cover most of the historical region of Romanian Banat, thus preserving the traditions and multiculturalism specific to these regions (preserved in its rural communities), the research aimed for a comparative analysis of the evolution of individual farms and of agro-tourism in the two counties as a way of sustainable development and their advertise as tourist destinations. The results obtained highlighted, on the one hand, the existence and maintenance of an economic potential capable of ensuring the development of agrotourism, a process in full development in this region, and on the other hand the fact that, at least so far, the effects of agro-tourism on the stability of residents are barely visible.

Sustainable development of rural undeveloped regions is one of the key priorities of the EU Member States and other countries that are in the process of stabilization and association, among which is also the Republic of Serbia (Balaban, et al, 2019), also the tourism sector is one of the drivers of the country's economic development today Sagić et al, 2019;Gavrilović, Maksimović, 2018 Above mentioned criteria stipulated in Article 9 of the Regulation did not change when in 2019 the Regulation on setting the criteria for incentives in order to attract direct investments in the sector of hotel accommodation services ("Official Gazette of the RS", No. 33/2019) was adopted.…”

In this paper we analyze the role of direct investments in spa tourism in undeveloped rural regions on the example of the Municipality of Kuršumlija. Namely, the Municipality of Kuršumlija belongs to the group of undeveloped regions. On its territory, three spa resorts are located. In order to explore the role of direct investments in the development of these spa resorts, qualitative survey was conducted using the technique of semi-structured in-depth interviews with the representatives of relevant institutions and organizations in the Municipality of Kuršumlija. Obtained results showed that the completion of the privatization process of the spa facilities along with the use of investment incentives and creation of favorable business environment for investors would lead to the increase of direct investments aimed for the development of the spa resorts. Direct investments, through better utilization of natural healing factors and human resources, would create the conditions for the development of health tourism and thus would lead to the development of the undeveloped rural area where the spa complex is located.

“…(Agriculture Strategy, 2014). The existing statistical classification of settlements is most often used for defining rural areas (Sagić, 2019).

The collapse of socialism changed the global picture of the world order and on international plan shifted most of the ex-communist countries of Europe towards Euro-Atlantic integration and membership in the European Union. The economic and social transition of most post-socialist states under the influence of Euro-Atlanticists and domestic pro-Western reformers, is taking place under Washington's consensus. The proposal of international mentors was the urgent privatization, liberalization and decentralization of the economy and society. The aim of the paper is to analyze the privatization of Serbian agriculture according to the shock model, both from the aspect of the application of regulations and the work of institutions, as well as the evaluation of the success of the procedure and privatization effects. Privatization of agricultural enterprises in Serbia has shown numerous weaknesses, which manifest in the work of institutions, inadequate strategy and vision, and in economic terms of stagnation of livestock breeding, reduction of the number of agricultural holdings and increase of unemployment. In this context, the experiences of Germany and China and some European Union countries were presented, which in the choice of transition path were guided primarily by their state and national interests.
