“…Motivation for travelling is considered as an important driver of travel behavior and it usually refers to a psychological need in the pre-visit stage [14][15][16][17][18]. Understanding the motivations, affinities, and interests of tourists may help to explain why they act in a particular way [15,[19][20][21][22][23], which might be crucial for various destination stakeholders in the field of developing the management and marketing strategy in protected areas [15,19,20,[24][25][26][27][28]. Panin and Mbrica [29] indicated that the main motives in Serbian eco-tourism are related to sports and recreational activities, such as walking in the forest, the awareness of positive impact on health, seeing and enjoying nature.…”

The main objectives of this research were twofold: firstly, to evaluate tourists’ perception of Gornje Podunavlje Special Nature Reserve, one of the four significant protected areas within the Serbian part of Mura-Drava-Danube Biosphere Reserve, and secondly, to identify the motivations behind tourists’ visits to wetlands and their overall satisfaction with the visits. In addition, this study was also focused on the relationships between aforementioned constructs and tourists’ socio-demographic characteristics and visit characteristics. Finally, this study attempts to address the relationships between tourists’ motives for their visit, their image perception and satisfaction. The research findings showed that each of the three remaining factors had significant relationships with Satisfaction and experience. The research was conducted in the form of the survey in the period between May 2020 and April 2022 on the sample of 216 visitors. The research findings showed that each of three remaining factors had significant relationships with Satisfaction and experience. Relationships are also found between identified improvement requirements, Motivation for spending time particularly in wetlands, and perceived biodiversity image. Finally, there are significant relationships between duration of the visit with Satisfaction and experience and Motivation for spending time in nature and future behavior. Practical implications of the research results might be beneficial for managers of wetland destinations, in order to improve the offer in line with tourists’ preferences.

“…A study of the pilgrimage trail in Santiago de Compostela, Spain [8] emphasized the importance of linking the diverse attractions into a cohesive tourism experience. Marković et al in their research also discussed the development of sport events on the River Drina and noted that further tourism development needs good cooperation with the local population [9]. This requires the strengthening of synergies between agents involved in the tourism sector.…”

The Grand Canal is located in the north-eastern and central-eastern plains of China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang province in the south, and is the longest canal in the world (1800 km) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From a tourism perspective, the Grand Canal can be considered as a linear heritage attraction linking many individual heritage sites. This research was conducted with a mixed qualitative–quantitative method in the 2021–2022 period. First, in-depth interviews with an unstructured methodology of image measurements were conducted to determine attributes of the perceived destination image (PDI) of the Grand Canal as a whole. Next, a measurement scale was developed using these attributes to examine the PDI of two canal sites near Beijing. A total of 274 valid questionnaires were used for data analysis. The results identify differences between the two sites’ PDI and the overall image of the Grand Canal. The t-test results shows that, in terms of the CDI, Shichahai Park has much better tourism activities, while Tongzhou Canal Park has better water quality. Shichahai Park’s ADI provides a stronger image of pride/impressive heritage of the Tongzhou Canal Park. Based on these results, a marketing strategy is proposed and discussed. This is the first study to develop a method and measurement scale to examine cohesion in the PDI of linear heritage attractions. The method may be used by other linear heritage management practitioners to link their attractions.

“…the Trumpet Festival in Guča, rafting on the Lim, the Kustendorf Film Festival, etc.). The regatta on the river Drina as a cross-border sport water event (Marković et al, 2021), is also recognized as a motive for active recreation and sports. Tourists who stay for a small number of days in one destination require a high level of services, which include additional facilities in addition to basic accommodation services.…”

Tourism is one of the most impacted sectors of the economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic consequences. The transformation of the tourism industry has conditioned new tourism trends and influenced the development of nature-based tourism. The research of the tourism market shows changes in consumer behaviour and motives of tourism movements. The meeting with the destination value chain where they travel is extremely important for modern tourists. The destination as a ʻvalue chainʼ consists of related activities making it recognizable and more competitive in the tourism market. The value chain assessment is an indicator of tourists’ satisfaction degree with the provided and used service, i.e. the tourism destination ʻfinalʼ product. The application of information technologies has a key role in the tourists’ assessment of the value chain and the destination selection. The future tourism research will be based on the application of BD, BD analytics and business analytics.
