“…According to Hassan (2000:239) "destination competitiveness is destination's ability to create and integrate value-added products that sustain its resources while maintaining market position relative to competitors". The most acceptable and citable destination competitiveness definition was developed by Ritchie and Crouch in 2003. They have defined it as ability to increase tourism expenditure, to attract a higher number of visitors by providing them satisfying and memorable experiences in a profitable way while enhancing the well-being of local residents and preserving natural sources for future generations (Ritchie & Crouch, 2003).…”

Purpose -The main purpose of this article is to determine competitive position of the Republic of Croatia on the European Union tourism market by analyzing Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index 2017 (TTCI). Also, this paper aims to compare TTCI of the Republic of Croatia and leading EU countries by international tourism receipts in order to define the weakest point of its competitiveness. Methodology -To achieve the purpose cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling have been used. By cluster analysis, different clusters have been identified, and distance between clusters according their mutual vicinity has been measured by multidimensional scaling. Findings -The K-means cluster analysis split the sample into the two distinct clusters. The first cluster consists of 13 countries and the second one of 15 countries. By comparing the TTCI of Republic of Croatia with leading EU countries by international tourism receipts it has been concluded that Republic of Croatia has the worst results in Air Transport Infrastructure, Ground and Port Infrastructure, Cultural Resources and Business Travel, Human Resources and Labor Market, and ICT Readiness. Contribution -The results point out the main weaknesses of Croatian tourism and also highlight areas where concrete and urgent actions are required in order to reach the best competitive position. The findings of this article are valuable for state authorities as a base for definition and classification of tourism policy goals and for tourism strategy development as well as for general decision making. The results are also beneficial as guideline for increasing tourism revenues.

“…The results of Kenichi Shimamoto' researches in this area allow to identify the factors influencing the competitiveness of tourist destinations: the cost of experiencing the tourist destination; the disutility/utility of the tourist destination; the level of the destination's branding; the transportation fee; the costs related to traveling time; and the transportation means disutility/utility [8]. Jameel Khadaroo and Boopen Seetanah stated that traveling income, distance, and relative prices are important ingredients of their own respect in the tourism demand equation [6].…”

The research on the impact of transport services on the development of the tourism industry has been carried out. For the selection of the most significant factors of the transport infrastructure quality and tourist demand, which can affect the effectiveness of development indicators of a tourist destination, the correlation analysis methods have been used. To determine the development level of countries according to the quality and demand indicators of the transport services, the methods of cluster analysis have been used, which confirm the established hypotheses concerning the connection between the formed groups of factors and the development of tourist destination.

“…The number of tourist arrivals is constantly growing: from 25 million in 1950 to 1,323 million in 2017 (+6.7% compared to 2016). The sector's share in the global GDP is 10.4% and the sector provides 313 million jobs (9.9% of total employment or 1 out of 10 jobs) [1]. This growth results from the increased amount of free time, increased mobility of goods and people, and a decrease in transportation costs [2].…”

This paper discusses regional disparities and general national trends in the development of tourism industry in Serbia. Serbia has a rich and well-preserved cultural and natural heritage, which means that this country holds significant potential for the development of tourism. Our analysis assessed the dynamics of tourism development by using census data and focusing on such indicators as the population size of different regions, the share of people employed in tourism, the proportion of economically active population and tourism traffic (the number of foreign tourists and overnight stays). All indicators were analyzed by calculating the index of change. The results show that in Serbia, tourism has not yet achieved an adequate level of development and plays a secondary role in the country's economy even though it could contribute to the demographic revitalization of Serbian regions. There is also a steady growth in the number of people employed in the tourism sector. Among other Serbian regions, Belgrade has the most thriving tourism industry due to its status of the capital city. Other regions also demonstrate significant growth in the traffic of foreign tourists, especially Zlatibor, Moravica, and Toplica. Adequate management and promotion of these destinations on the international tourism market have proven to be quite effective.
