“…This model has been previously employed in similar recent case-studies [12,[43][44][45][46]. The model was deemed as the most appropriate scale for this study, because it provides tourism stakeholders and researchers insight pertaining what is needed to identify what changes are essential to improve (rural) tourism competitiveness.…”

Abstract:The research deals with the sustainable development of the Serbian and Slovenian countryside, under the influence of tourism progress. The article identifies the main rural tourism competitiveness in Serbia and Slovenia, as one of the essential factors of rural development in both countries, analyzing the main contributions and making a series of proposals to guide the future research agenda. The aim of the paper is to clarify around one obviously defined objective-to point out the competitiveness of sustainable rural tourism in typical post-socialist settings. The data for this study were collected using the Integrated Model of Destination Competitiveness to observe Serbian and Slovenian competitiveness in tourism. Determinants were assessed using a survey evaluating four demanding factors and 20 supporting factors, based upon a five-point Likert Scale. The results indicated that the friendliness of residents towards visitors, easy communication between them, together with quality of infrastructure and health facilities show the highest level of statistical correlation. These are the main propositions to start an initiative for the authorities in local communities to actively participate in sustainable rural development. The findings provide tourism stakeholders with relevant respondents' perceptions pertaining to the tourism development in non-urban areas.

“…The development of tourism is closely linked to the evolution of transport and it is undeniable that nowadays the airline industry is central to the tourism industry (Cunha, 2009). The continuous development of tourist destinations and the growth of the existing ones require continuous and responsible destination management (Assaf and Josiassen (2012); Armenski, et al, 2012).…”

In order to determine if the last changes had an impact in the competitiveness of this airport, the main aims is to analise the evolution of values of the technical efficiency and equate the results before and after the introduction of the LCCs in this airport. The methodology uses the Data Envelopment Analysis. Results show that the Oporto Airport efficiency increases highly after the introduction of LCCs since 2004. The main conclusions suggest the importance of the introduction of LCCs in the increasing efficiency of the Oporto Airport and the potential relation with tourism development in this region, but more strong studies are needed.

“…Whilst there are studies of tourism (development) in the country, almost none explicitly research war-related tourism in the post-war period. Furthermore, war is mentioned as an obstacle to or weakness of development; however, after two decades, poor development cannot be the outcome of those previous events, but rather the result of inadequate and non-competitive destination management (Armenski, Gomezelj, Djurdjev, Ćurčić, & Dragan, 2012). …”

This article explores only a variation of tourism -warfare tourismin Croatia, which is a recognised tourist destination. The main objective of this multidisciplinary research is to clarify and classify young residents (undergraduate students) of Croatia into different clusters based on their views of the potential for warfare tourism development in the country. A total of 292 completed questionnaires were recorded and prepared for empirical analyses. Ward's principal component score method, independent sample test and descriptive analysis were employed in this study. We found that two clusters of youths could be identified -believers and doubters, the latter representing the majority. The difference between clusters, in fact, is not so big: however, believers, contrary to doubters, do recognise warfare tourism opportunities for the development of war-affected areas in Croatia, opportunities that first need to be conceptualised on the strategic level (country/county/city/municipality).
