“…The economic benefits of conference events have been the topic of researchers for several decades, as it is shown in [13]. Conferences can act stimulating to the development of tourism, they are often organized after the tourist season, so they provide tourist visits in periods when there are significantly fewer visitors.…”

Tourism in Serbia is becoming an increasingly important economic sector with the potential of further development. This paper identifies the potential of the international conferences market in order to promote tourism. This paper presents a survey of the attitudes and impressions of the visitors of a major scientific conference meeting held in Belgrade this year, which was conducted by analyzing a sample of 175 respondents from different countries. The basic assumptions deal with: the difference in the tourist motives for visiting a certain destination, where on one hand we have the motives of the population of scientists and on the other, the motives of the average population of tourists; the analysis of the destination and the analysis of the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of conference attenders with particular elements of touristic offer. The obtained results were found useful as a better evaluation of the conference and to emphasize it out as a viable touristic product.

“…Better known as "law of retail gravitation", this theory is the precursor of the "gravity" type of spatial choice model commonly used today (Babin et al, 1994;Yrigoyen and Otero, 1998). Distance or travel time is but one variable, and the more operative variables are those that relate to determinants of attractiveness within isochrones (travel times) deemed acceptable to the customer (Lakshmanan and Hansen, 1965;Ryan, 1999). The multitude of variables with potential influence on competing retail locations can be reduced to two factors only, store size and distance between stores and consumers' homes (Teller and Reutterer, 2008).…”

“…For example, casual restaurants attract customers not solely based on convenience of location but also on other factors such as price, cleanliness, service, cuisine type, and food quality (Kincaid et al, 2010). Thus, according to this theory what is transacted is more important than where the transaction occurs within a given set of isochrones that determine the competitive area (Litz and Rajaguru, 2008;Ryan, 1999).…”

“…On the other hand, low clustering is generally related to low concentrations in CBD and CBD core. The periods 1996-1999-2008 can be characterized as periods with relatively low clustering. In the first period, on average 75.7 percent of restaurants were located in the CBD and 33.3 percent in the CBD core, whereas in the second period these figures were 76.3 percent and 42.4 percent respectively as shown in Table III.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this study is to assess the evolution of restaurant locations in the city of Hamilton over a 12-year period (1996 to 2008) using GIS techniques. Retail theories such as central place, spatial interaction and principle of minimum differentiation are applied to the restaurant setting. Design/methodology/approach -A database of restaurants was compiled using the NZ yellow pages and contained 981 entries that consisted mainly of location addresses and types of cuisine. This paper focuses on locational patterns only. Findings -A process of geo-coding and clustering enabled the identification of two clustering periods over 12 years for city restaurants, indicating locational patterns of agglomeration within a short walking distance of the CBD and spill over effects to the north of the city.Research limitations/implications -The data do not allow statistical analysis of the variables causing the clustering but offer a visual description of the evolution. Explanations are offered on the possible planning regimes, retail provision and population changes that may explain this evolution. Practical implications -The findings allow identification of land use patterns in Hamilton city and potential areas where new restaurants could be developed. Also, the usefulness of geo-coded data in identifying clustering effects is highlighted. Originality/value -Existing location studies relate mostly to site selection criteria in the retailing industry while few have considered the evolution of restaurant locations in a specific geographic area. This paper offers a case study of Hamilton city and highlights the usefulness of GIS techniques in understanding locational patterns.
