“…The latter is also temporally fixed as 'traditional'. This leads to a binarised geography of local place versus global tourist industry, produced by the artificial closure of places and the denial of 'local's' mobility (Crang, 2006, page 55 (Oakes, 2005;Yang and Wall, 2009b). Such binaries are often perpetuated in marketing for cultural tourism that trades on notions of enchantment and deploys, at best, a strategic essentialism to fit the demand (Tomaselli, 2012).…”

Abstract. According to the 2011 census, there are over 26 nationalities and national and ethnic groups in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, which makes it a highly multi-ethnic environment. Each ethnic group nurtures a distinctive culture and tradition, which are recognized as having a highly significant potential for tourism development in Vojvodina. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted with the aim of determining the activities of tourist organizations that are focused on implementing achievements of these cultures into a tourism product. The survey included 27 tourist organizations from the territory of Vojvodina. The results indicate a high level of interest of tourist organizations in promoting national minorities living in their municipalities.Keywords: national minorities; culture; tourism; tourist organizations; Vojvodina. IntroductionThe AP of Vojvodina covers 24.4 % of the territory of the Republic of Serbia, i.e. 21,588 km 2 in the north of the Republic. According to the last census from 2011, the AP Vojvodina has a population of 1,931,809, or 21.56 % of the total population of the Republic of Serbia. Serbs are the majority population (66.76 %), followed by: Hungarians (13 %), Slovaks (2.60 %), Croats (2.43 %), Roma (2.19 %), Romanians (1.32 %), Montenegrins (1.15 %), Bunjevci (0.85 %), Ruthenians

“…While aboriginal or indigenous tourism can be viewed as being one type of ethnic tourism, the fundamental attraction to tourists is the exotic culture and a lifestyle that differs from their own (Yang & Wall, 2009). Notzke (1999) found that tourists attending aboriginal tourism destinations in Canada were interested in aboriginal lives, arts, handicrafts, traditional activities, environments and food.…”

“…Tourism is often seen as a means of validating aboriginal cultures and enhancing their economic opportunities, but a substantial literature documents the provision of inauthentic experiences, negative impacts on host populations and, often, only superficial interest in aboriginal products on the part of visitors (Yang & Wall, 2009;Yang, Wall, & Smith, 2008). Although a wide variety of research has been undertaken on aboriginal tourism, drawing on such research undertaken primarily in Taiwan, it is argued that a more holistic approach is required if the complex layers of aboriginal tourism are to be better understood so that tourism might contribute more substantially to the enhancement of the wellbeing of these formerly majority, but now minority, people.…”
