The subject of this paper are international cruises along the Pan-European Corridor VII (Danube Waterway). We tried to identify the structural properties of cruises along the Corridor VII, determine the scope and dynamics of cruises along the Corridor VII, define the problems and point to perspectives of cruises along the Corridor VII in Serbia. The research presented in this paper suggests that adequate valorization of the Danube along its entire navigable stream is a 'quick win' option for Serbia's tourism. The related research, also, suggests positive effects that the cruises have upon the economic and socio-cultural development of Serbia. In order for cruises along the Corridor VII to provide prosperity in the forthcoming period, it is necessary that this form of tourism be integrated into plans of tourism development of the entire Corridor VII and Serbia as a whole. Without adequate plans, the reconstruction of the existing and new infrastructure and increase in service quality, it is reasonable to expect a decline in the competitiveness of the Serbia's supply at the cruise market. The basic methods used while obtaining and processing data and analyzing the results are: field research, historical method, statistical procession, quantitative and qualitative content analyses, comparative method (Benchmark analysis etc.). A particular significance was given to the PESTEL analysis.

“…Generally, visitors from Eastern Europe possessed better knowledge and opinion of Serbia contrasted to visitors from Western Europe. We can say that currently less developed countries anticipate tourism as the initiator of their development (increase of employment, development of economy, income increase, especially foreign tourism, increase the national income (Ivkov et al, 2007).

The EXIT Music Festival has been held annually in Novi Sad since 2000. Owing to its excellent organization, it has become popular among the youth population around the world. Moreover, it succeeded in attracting a large number of foreign visitors after long years of their absence in the streets of Novi Sad, which also created a basis for the research of their relations with the local population and the interrelation of their cultural and social influence. The paper presents the evolution process of the Music Festival with a special emphasis on the opinions of both foreign and domestic visitors about their mutual interrelations, as well as the opinion of the local population about the foreigners visiting Novi Sad during the EXIT Festival. A questionnaire conducted in 2006 on two sets of samples, one of 200 respondents in the EXIT campsite, and the other of 100 inhabitants of Novi Sad also suggest a starting point for further research in the aforementioned interaction among the visitors, as well as for a study of the relationships between the local population and the festival visitors. This was also the aim of the paper.

“…There are several possibilities for revitalisation of areas affected by depopulation. Depopulation could be prevented by keeping the young population (Ivkov et al, 2007), in particular in rural areas, by providing young people jobs and creating of conditions for quality life and better and more certain future. Stimulating and developing of ecoand ethno-tourism would provide an opportunity for opening of new jobs.…”

Border region of Northern Banat consists of three Banat municipalities. These municipalities are bordering with Romania and they occupy the ultimate eastern, peripheral position in Serbia. The number of inhabitants in border municipalities shows the declining tendency and a high unemployment rate is one of the causes of constant decline in the number of inhabitants. Halting of emigration process from the territories of border municipalities would contribute to stabilisation of their demographic status. This type of migratory processes can be efficiently affected through timely professional orientation. The problem of unemployment in the territories of border municipalities of Northern Banat could be regulated primarily with elaboration of a long-term plan. The results of the research, which was conducted in the period from January 2007 to December 2009, show that the number of unemployed persons was reduced in all border municipalities of Northern Banat at the end of the observed period compared to the beginning of 2007. Municipality of Coka has the largest percentage of unemployed persons in the total number of working-age population. Older categories with lower level of education dominate in the structure of unemployed persons.
