Identifikacija gastronomskih resursa kao dela kulturnog nasleđa u razradi koncepta održivog razvoja Vojvodine

Abstract

Tourist industry in the northern province of the Republic of Serbia has recorded a growth trend. Its development is generally seen by the number of overnights, while the share of individual entities participating in the creation of tourist products such as local agriculture and restaurant product are less visible. This causes the community and the relevant state entities with their actions to sufficiently encourage the production and use of local food, although it represents a form of cultural capital and resource of economic and social development. The area which has been studied is Vojvodina. The topic of the paper is local food in the tourist offer of the region. The task is to apply the Rinaldi model in order to determine whether all aspects of the identity of the local food community are important for the creation of the concept of sustainable tourism. The aim is the identification of existing resources and highlighting their potential and importance in the development of the region. The study showed that all four Vojvodina located resources have been identified, but that they are not used well enough. Elaboration of the concept of sustainable tourism is not sufficiently recognized in the development of the region.
