“…According to Finnessey [14], there are three main sources of impact left on national parks by tourists: depletion of natural resources, pollution and physical impacts. Visitor impacts, caused by sport and recreational tourism activities (walking, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, horseback riding, camping, vehicle use and biking) have relevant negative impacts on national parks [15]. Vegetation is being trampled, soil compacted and ecosystems destroyed, because of the growing number of tourists coming to these areas.…”

Negative effects of tourism development in a destination are usually the consequence of the high concentration of tourists, accommodation facilities and the activities that are practiced in a relatively restricted area. One of the most important measures to protect the areas is to calculate the maximum number of tourists that can simultaneously reside in a region, i.e. the determination of the carrying capacity. This paper outlines a method for determining carrying capacity based on zoning of environmental resources and zoning within a region. The paper argues for a return to the idea of identifying maximum appropriate number of users. The main hypothesis of the paper is based on the statement that the development of tourism in Fruška Gora (Mountain) National Park in Northern Serbia must be in accordance with the basic principles of sustainability, including the determination of carrying capacity. The main research goal was to show the opinion of local residents about the uncontrolled development of tourism, and to determine the carrying capacity in four sports and recreational zones of the mountain. The carrying capacity of the area is calculated by Lavery and Stanev formulas.

The aim of presented paper was to create and subsequently apply the Modified 3D Creditworthy Model (MCWM) of performance reflecting sectoral characteristics and financial specificities of the selected sample of Slovak tour operators over the years 2013 – 2017. The intention of this research study was to implement the key financial indicators and appropriate prediction models into both dimensions of the traditional 2D Creditworthy Model of performance and to supplement its third dimension applying the selected modern assessment methods – the Economic Value Added and the Return On Net Assets as we consider them to be one of the most important indicators of future success and company's financial growth. This modification will help to better identify the current financial position of tour operators and more accurately identify causes that hinder the development of financial performance of the selected sample of enterprises. However, after adjusting the upper and lower quartile averages of a particular industry, this methodology is applicable in the wider context of enterprises, not only those operating in the tourism sector.

“…This cooperation can provide benefits for the region as well as for the country such as the increasing number of tourist visits and the improvement of regional and national tourism performance. Government can activate the crucial factors of tourism competitiveness, such as development policies, political consistency (Damanik, 2013: 50), national security, regulation that can protect the environment, social and culture and (Xin and Jennifer, 2014) long-term investment. 4) Empowering tour operators in attracting tourists.…”
