The aim of the research in the paper is to evaluate the state of rural settlements in Brčko District with regard to the development of rural tourism. Together with the Tourism Department of the Brčko District, five experts from the field of tourism were selected and they evaluated the current state of rural settlements in this part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The evaluations were processed using the fuzzy approach with the SWARA (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) multi-criteria decision-making method. Using this method, the weights of the used criteria were determined, representing the degree of development of conditions in rural settlements. The results showed that "rural facilities and services" are the best developed in rural settlements, while the criteria related to feelings and experiences are the least developed. Based on this research, it is possible to implement measures to strengthen certain criteria that have not been adequately developed in order to further improve rural tourism in Brčko District.

“…Furthermore, in the case of selecting the best location for ecotourism in the east and center of Fars province in Iran, the AHP and OWA methods were used [27], and the theory of rough sets was applied to the evaluation model supporting sustainable local development strategies in the case of Etna in Italy [28]. Sustainable development of ethnovillages in BIH and development of rural tourism in Republic of Srpska was supported by the DEX method [29,30], and on a more local scale, the sustainable rural tourism potential of the Brčko District of BIH was evaluated by FUCOM and fuzzy MARCOS methods [31], and fuzzy PIPRECIA and fuzzy MARCOS methods for an assessment of improving the sustainable agrotouristic offer [32]. The researched literature allows for the conclusion that the management of the rural tourist offer requires the use of MCDA methods; thus, to analyze the rural tourism in BIH, the DEX method was employed in this research.…”

The research objectives presented in this paper are to assess the current state of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s rural tourism offer and to recommend a course of action for its development based on the model’s data that was gathered from subject-matter experts. In this paper, the multicriteria analysis method DEX (Decision EXpert) was utilized to assess the capacity of rural tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) and to obtain the results. All establishments were rated “very good”, seeing that they made use of the natural beauty that BIH has to offer. The outcomes of using this model were used to generate suggestions for the long-term development of rural tourism in BIH. The contribution of the employed model is in the developed starting points for the advancements of rural tourism in BIH, and the proposed model presents a novel method for evaluating a nation’s tourism potential that could be used in future studies in other tourism-related fields as well. The limitations of this paper stem from the fact that not all tourist establishments were considered due to the lack of unified records for all of these establishments. The model used in this research, on the other hand, is applicable to all tourist capacities, which is an advantage.

“…The growing desire for tourism services within rural areas empowers community members to generate income through product sales and service provision (Nedeljković et al, 2022;Puška et al, 2021;Sanagustin Fons et al, 2011). In the sphere of tourism development, the local populace assumes a vital role as essential stakeholder.…”
