“…It is recognized as a synonym for the River Drina and, accordingly, contributes of local population awareness of Podrinje tourism potentials, but also to overall economic development and profit making and "it should contribute to destination image and branding" (Getz, 2008). 1 The most important contributions to the sport-event tourism research, including the sport-event "Drinska regatta" were provided by the well-known Serbian authors: Bjeljac (2006), Bjeljac (2010), , Bjeljac et al (2017), and Najdić and Lukić (2016). They represented this sport-event as integral part of tourism offer in the cross-border municipalities of Podrinje, while this research was mainly oriented toward the attitudes of the local population regarding the possibilities for its further development.…”

“…The main idea of the concept of the “Euroregion,” as a form of transregional connection of the European countries cross-border regions, is oriented on promotion of the common interests and living standards of the local population (Nađ et al, 2005). The process of normalization and improvement of the interstate relations between the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the transformation of Podrinje from the border region into the central zone of intensive development (Bjeljac & Ćurčić, 2006), started with the formation of the Euroregion “Drina-Sava-Majevica” (Todorović & Tošić, 2006; Tošić & Todorović, 2008).…”

This article is focused on attitudes of the local population within the border municipalities in the Euroregion “Drina-Sava-Majevica,” on the further development of sport-event tourism. The survey research obtained a sample of 238 respondents. Collected data were analyzed by using the SPSS (21.0). Analysis of categorical variables (Chi-square test) and coefficients of correlation, together with descriptive statistics, indicated that the local community has reliable attitudes on potentials for development of sport-events, as well as the most popular “Drinska regatta.” However, members of the local community still do not recognize possibilities of using tourism resources for gaining personal and community-wide benefits. Therefore, efforts aimed at further tourism development within the researched border municipalities should be valorized and adequately represented in the tourism market in cooperation with the local population.

“…Many languages and identities disappeared therefore. The current differences in cross-border areas (caused by similar geo-space, historical events, similar demographic features, languages, similar religions, as well as other anthropogenic factors) may become common features and could turn cross-border regions into important tourist destinations (Bjeljac and Ć určić, 2006).…”

Education for responsible persons, tourists and hosts through knowledge of neighbouring countries' languages in cross-border areas

Purpose -The presented study aims to address the subject of educating youngsters in cross-border regions to be responsible persons, tourists, hosts and neighbours, to accept cultural pluralism, and to raise awareness that knowledge of neighbouring countries' languages supports cross-border cooperation. Design/methodology/approach -The approach double-checked theory and legal regulation, and children's knowledge of neighbouring countries' (Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, and Croatia) languages was empirically researched. Indirectly, parental attitudes were examined. The study focused on Slovene and Hungarian languages and on their trans-border (or: cross-border) tourism as a cultural rather than economic topic. Findings -Cross-border tourism depends also on mutual understanding as a precondition of ethics of interdependence as a precondition of the requisite holism of one's approach via social responsibility enabling the well-being of both tourists and hosts. The socio-linguistic and socio-cultural aspects of neighbouring regions, e.g. Slovenia's Prekmurje and Hungary's Ö rseg, can support positive interaction between ethnic groups and enhance effective cross-border collaboration, including tourism. Poor knowledge of neighbouring countries' languages submits communities to third languages and hinders these trans-border experiences, making the regions a shared destiny maintaining their cultures, languages and identity. Language learning therefore must start at the earliest possible age. Originality/value -This case study advocates cross-border educational and cultural policy that (primary) schools should increase the awareness of the dependence of cross-border peace, positive stereotypes, economies and tourism on knowledge of neighbouring countries' languages and socially responsible (young/future) persons, tourists and hosts.

“…As can be understood from the statements, the multiple and variable interaction between human and place (Giddens, 2013;Urry, 2015) is similar to the tourism and human interaction in that place (Bjeljac and Ćurčić, 2006). This interaction becomes even more distinctive particularly in developing places (Morton, 2003), because the effects of tourism-based transition in these areas penetrate all areas of social life from physical infrastructure to living standards (Kim, Uysal and Sirgy, 2013).…”

Tourism success is an important parameter of regional development. The way a society perceives tourism and existing issues and the rate of participation in political decisions are also important factors, particularly for developing regions. In this sense, the perspective of the locals provides a significant clue for researchers and policy makers. In this study, the tourism development of Adıyaman, one of the potential tourism destination of Turkey, has been analyzed through a societal perspective. 187 people have been selected through convenience sampling method under the scope of the study and they have been posed open-ended questions. The acquired data have been categorized under three sections as sociocultural, socioeconomic and geographic barriers. As a result of the study, the most significant barriers for tourism are defined as the local administration, investment, transport and promotion
