“…A broader view of the structure and content of cultural heritage includes the classification of heritage into tangible and intangible (Herz & Arnegger, 2016). Within the tangible heritage, there are: military attractions (battlefields, cemeteries, memorials, military buildings, etc.…”

Intangible cultural heritage is of vital importance for the development of a tourist destination. It manifests itself through the customs, celebrations, music, songs, dances, stories, myths, traditions, legends, old crafts, aesthetic, spiritual and social systems of community values. As a value, tourist destinations are presented on the spot as well as at festivals, carnivals, concerts and food service facilities. Culture and tourism are becoming increasingly connected over time and therefore represent an inseparable whole. Interest in culture and cultural programs, among which are also those whose framework pertains to intangible cultural heritage, is constantly increasing. This paper deals with the study of the bond between tourists and intangible cultural heritage of a destination. Namely, the paper argues that the tourists" choice to visit a particular destination depends largely on the intangible cultural heritage in the area of that destination.Keywords: intangible cultural heritage, culture, tourism, destination JEL classification: Z300 Nematerijalno kulturno nasleđe kao motiv za izbor turističke destinacije AranđelovacApstrakt: Nematerijalno kulturno nasleĊe je od vitalne vaţnosti za razvoj turistiĉke destinacije. Ispoljava se kroz obiĉaje, praznovanja, muziku, pesmu, igru, priĉe, mitove, predanja, legende, stare zanate, estetske duhovne i društvene sisteme vrednosti jedne zajednice. Kao vrednost turistiĉke destinacije prezentuju se na licu mesta kao i na festivalima, karnevalima, koncertima, u ugostiteljskim objektima. Kultura i turizam vremenom se sve ĉvršće povezuju i predstavljaju neraskidivu celinu. Interesovanje za kulturu i kulturne programe, a meĊu njima i one ĉija je okosnica nematerijalno kulturno nasleĊe, u neprestanom je porastu. Ovaj rad se bavi istraţivanjem veze izmeĊu turista i nematerijalnog kulturnog nasleĊa destinacije. Naime, rad zastupa stanovište da opredeljenost turista da posete odreĊenu destinaciju preteţno zavisi od nematerijalnog kulturnog nasleĊa sa kojim destinacija raspolaţe.

“…Arnegger and Herz [12] have suggested that such mega-events have two potential effects: the first is to draw participants and audiences, increasing travel to the host destination during the event; the second is the creation of additional exposure via advertising and news coverage for the host destination as a result of the event. Mega-events have significant effects on the destination's image (e.g., [11][12][13][14]) which contributes both to the successful development of the host city as an attractive destination for people to visit [15] and to sustainable development of the city [16]. In other words, mega-events contribute in significant ways to the public policy of locations seeking urban development, economic growth, and rebranding [17,18].…”

“…Satisfaction is a critical component in tourism studies [21]. Satisfaction, in turn, is perceived as the main driver of both attitude [35][36][37] and host city's (destination) image [12,38]. Furthermore, involvement is another concept in widespread use in both the marketing domain and behavioral research, and refers to strong attitudes able to explain and even to predict behavior [39].…”

This study highlights transportation service quality (including that of the core transportation service and the physical environment of transportation) and investigates its impact on satisfaction as well as attitude toward and image of a sustainable city. Additionally, this study also addresses the mediating role of satisfaction in the relationships between transportation service quality, and both attitude toward and image of a sustainable city, as well as the moderating role of involvement in the links between satisfaction and this attitude and between satisfaction and this image. The findings confirm that both core transportation service and the physical environment of transportation significantly and positively influence satisfaction and, in turn, significantly and positively influence attitude toward and image of a sustainable city. Satisfaction also plays a mediating role in the links between transportation service quality and this attitude and image. In addition, the effect of satisfaction on attitude toward and image of a sustainable city becomes greater as the level of involvement increases.

“…To be sure, planned events commonly play a vital role for the communities in which they take place (Bowdin, 2012). In addition to the perceived promise of economic benefits (Arnegger & Herz, 2016;Getz & Page, 2016a) they embody various social and cultural values both for event goers but also community residents (Chalip, 2006;Delgado, 2016;Schulenkorf & Edwards, 2012). The advent of mass tourism in the mid-1900s dramatically increased the potential of events to influence social and economic development in most localities (Getz, 2013).…”

Policymakers in destinations regularly struggle to identify effective ways to evaluate the impacts of planned events. Especially problematic is the relative lack of knowledge about the social impacts that planned events incur. This challenge is largely attributable to the historic focus on economic impacts. However, this trend is shifting along with the realization that events often fail to deliver on promised economic trickle-down effects. This paper addresses the absence of a unified view on social impacts, and how this impedes destinations that aspire to work strategically with planned events. Policymakers at the destination level currently lack the common language needed to effectively measure these impacts. We use a Delphi approach to pinpoint social impact indicators that are of use in policy settings. The results show six indicators that meet the study criteria, thereby contributing towards a unified set of indicators for dealing with strategic event management at the destination level.
