The existence of various forms of mass tourism has led to development of special interest tourism destinations, including geotourism sites. Geological heritage sites are rare instances of outstanding geological, geomorphological, pedological and archaeological importance, used widely in recent years as a tool for the development of geotourism destinations. Over 600 geological sites have been identified in the Republic of Serbia, with only small portion of them being used for geotourism purposes. This paper identifies the most visited geodestinations by means of a questionnaire (Resava cave, Devil's town), as well as the level of tourist satisfaction with the destination, which could be described as very high. The directions for further development need to be set by identifying the existing condition of geoheritage sites in Serbia. The highest rated destinations need to expand their offer in order to attract a larger scale of visitors, while those not included in the list need to re-analyze and identify their limiting factors, and try to mitigate them. Apstrakt: Prisustvo različitih vidova masovnog turizma, uslovilo je pojavu turističkih destinacija od posebnog značaja, među kojima se nalazi i geoturizam. Objekti geonasleđa predstavljaju redak primerak od izuzetnog geološkog, geomorfološkog, pedološkog i arheološkog značaja koji se poslednjih godina u sve većem obimu koristi kao sredstvo za razvoj geoturističkih destinacija. Otkriveno je preko 600 objekata geonasleđa u Republici Srbiji, od kojih se samo mali broj koristi u geoturističke svrhe. U radu su primenom anketnog upitnika identifikovane najposećenije geodestinacije (Resavska pećina, Đavolja varoš), kao i stepen zadovoljstva geoturista destinacijom, koji bi se mogao oceniti kao izuzetno visok. Analizom postojećeg stanja geodestinacija u Srbiji pokušavaju se sagledati pravci daljeg razvoja. Ustanovljeno je da se od najbolje ocenjenih destinacija očekuje da svoju ponudu prošire u cilju privlačenja većeg obima posetilaca, dok je kod manje popularnih destinacija potrebno sprovesti ponovnu analizu, identifikovati nedostatke, a zatim ih otkloniti.

People have appreciated the beauty of natural landscapes, the result of the interplay of different natural processes, for at least three hundred years in Europe. Many have been inspired by this beauty to promote such places for visits by others. Some have understood the importance of individual places visited within the local or regional environmental system. This has led to definitions and the establishment of protected areas with special visitor rules and regulations. This article presents a case study of Sićevo Gorge Nature Park in Serbia and an opportunity to transform it into a geoheritage site, underpinned by developing its interpretation based on the results of a study using the analytical-hierarchy process (AHP) method.

Following tourist offers, one must notice the appearance of some new trends in the field city tours. Understanding the fact that this geographical area (South Serbia) is economically less developed then the area of Middle and North Serbia, one can expect the lack of tourist offer that could satisfy the needs of a modern tourist. But knowing that Niš stands on a very important historical and geographical crossroads and represents the religious, cultural, political, sports etc. junction one must expect a modern tourist offer that will satisfy today's tourists. This paper will show that Niš and some of the people working in tourism branch recognized these new tourists' expectations and are the pioneers now in this area, trying to offer a different tourist product to tourists coming to this city. Regardless to the subjective and objective problems they face on the road to a genuine thematic tourist product, they tend to offer a brand new product that will satisfy foreign tourists and teach domestic tourist about the new trends in satisfying tourist needs.
