Purpose – Numerous new forms aimed at meeting the sophisticated needs of modern consumers characterize tourism, as one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. In such conditions, the concept of slow tourism gained importance accompanied with a strong need to slow down the pace of life. The aim of this paper is, in addition to explaining this phenomenon, to examine the manner of travel when visiting slow destinations in the autonomous province of Vojvodina, as well as to determine the goals and outcomes of tourist visits. Methodology – For the purposes of the research, authors form list of goals, outcomes and mode of travel. The list of goals and outcomes expected after the trip in the questionnaire was taken and adjusted to the scale applied by the authors Oh, Assaf and Baloglu (2016), while authors introduced some question to the last segment of questions about the mode of travel. Findings – Based on the results, it is concluded that the ways of travel of slow tourists are largely related to the goals and outcomes of tourists who visited Vojvodina, and all tourists included in this study are highly satisfied with Vojvodina as a slow destination. Contribution – The contribution of this study is reflected in the fact that slow tourism has not been sufficiently researched in Vojvodina, and this study is significant because it initiated research on this topic, which can be a great potential of this region.
Petrovaradinska tvrđava jedan je od simbola Novog Sada. Ima veliki potencijal za razvoj kulturnog turizma zahvaljujući svojoj dugoj i bogatoj istoriji. Takođe, ima potencijal da izgradi dobar brend, ali potrebno je planirati aktivnosti koje će ga formirati na najbolji način. Brend je mnogo više od lokacije. To je sve što čini destinaciju -ljudi, gastronomija, osećaji koje budi. Ljudi koji predstavljaju destinaciju su lokalno stanovništvo, ljudi koji se bave turizmom i kulturom, kao i mnogi drugi, i svi moraju zajedno raditi na stvaranju brenda. Cilj je izgraditi brend koji kod ljudi stvara osećaj da bi trebalo da posete destinaciju. Savremeni mediji -televizija, novine, radio, društvene mreže -imaju veliki uticaj na formiranje imidža destinacije. U zavisnosti od prezentacije, oni ga mogu značajno promeniti -i pozitivno i negativno. Mediji mogu biti prvi susret potencijalnog korisnika sa odredištem, tako da je važno ostaviti pozitivan utisak. Ovaj rad ima za cilj da ukaže na potencijal Petrovaradinske tvrđave kroz istraživanje o tome šta ljudi koji predstavljaju tvrđavu smatraju važnim da pokažu kroz brendiranje tvrđave i kako moderni mediji utiču na formiranje brenda.
Purpose – The accelerated lifestyle has led to changes in the way of traveling. The development of technology and the internet has created the opportunity for online contact with people from all over the world, so we can say that traveling has not been this easy and affordable so far. People choose shorter trips, meet the locals, learn about their culture and customs. The paper looks for the benefits of using the Couchsurfing network and its aim is to present the motivation of respondents from former Yugoslav countries to use the network during travel, as well as to host travelers at home. Methodology – The questions for the questionnaire were acquired from the research done by Liu (2012), while the authors entered the offered answers based on a review of the Couchsurfing.com site. Couchsurfing users received online questionnaires via private message and through groups. The questionnaire was also sent through Facebook private messages and posted in private groups. Findings – Based on the results, it is concluded that the dominant motive for using Couchsurfing during the trip is to get to know the local population, culture and customs, as well as hosting and keeping company to travelers visiting this region. Contribution – The social contribution of this paper emphasizes the motives of the Couchsurfing users from the former Yugoslav countries for traveling and hosting travelers. New research can be expanded to the level of Europe or separated for the mentioned countries.
Kulturni turizam i kulturno iskustvo predstavljaju veliki potencijal za razvoj domaćeg turizma, ali su takođe i veliki izazov. Mnogi lokaliteti kulturnog nasleđa u Srbiji još uvek nisu dovoljno poznati, a glavni razlozi su loše uređenje lokacija i nedovoljna promocija. Mnogim ljudima društvene mreže postale su osnovni izvor informacija i najbolji način za odabir njihove sledeće destinacije. U Srbiji su Facebook i Instagram najpopularnije društvene mreže. Zahvaljujući ovim društvenim mrežama, otkriva se veliki broj nepoznatih ili manje poznatih turističkih destinacija u Srbiji i stiče popularnost, stvarajući bolji imidž destinacije. U poslednjih nekoliko meseci, zbog pandemije Covid-19, deo domaćeg stanovništva je odlučilo da provede odmor u Srbiji i posete kulturne i prirodne znamenitosti koje naša država može da ponudi. Porastao je broj Facebook grupa na kojima meštani dele svoje fotografije sa putovanja, utiske, savete i preporuke. Dodavanje Instagram heštegova (hashtags) na objave, povećava se vidljivost destinacije i promocija kulturnog turizma u Srbiji. Zahvaljujući vezi između društvenih mreža i gugl mapa (Google maps), korisnici prilikom objavljivanja mogu označiti lokaciju na kojoj je fotografija nastala. Na ovaj način svi korisnici koji vide fotografiju mogu vrlo brzo saznati o kojoj destinaciji je reč. Zahvaljujući društvenim mrežama, informacije su dostupne na samo jedan klik. Cilj ovog rada je da prikaže na koji način socijalni mediji utiču na promociju kulturnog turizma u Srbiji, dobijanjem pouzdanih informacija pregledom društvenih mreža i objava, kao i anketiranjem korisnika društvenih mreža.
