The paper aims to point out the importance of the sustainable development of tourism in Serbia. To overcome the shortcomings of sustainable tourism development, the authors present the tourist attractions and advantages of Serbia and the city of Belgrade, the central region, which could have a positive impact on the influx of tourists and the image of the tourist destination. The subject of the work is the consideration of environmental protection, mitigation of negative environmental impacts on tourism, which plays an important role in sustainable ecological development. The authors applied an appropriate methodological analysis of the city of Belgrade, which belongs to the most developed tourist region of the country. PEST(E) analysis describes the political, legal, socio-cultural, economic, technological, and ecological elements of the city of Belgrade to identify factors that influence sustainable development and environmental awareness. The paper also used a survey, in which respondents' answers were processed using the statistical method of the X 2 test. Investing in sustainable tourism means investments at the regional and local level in ecological infrastructure, investments for the formation of an ecological geographic information system, and promotional management activities to improve the rating of the competitive advantage of the sustainable tourist development of the cities of Belgrade and Serbia.

“…In today's Serbia, agro-tourism became more significant in the 80s of the last century, and it is considered one of the best forms of tourism on the market where the needs of gastronomic tourists can be met [3,9,10]. One of the reasons why Serbia must market the concept of sustainable agro-tourism is precisely the fact that in this country, over 55% of the population lives in rural areas and is engaged in agriculture and food production [9][10][11]. As the number of tourists in agro-tourism destinations in Serbia is increasing, it is assumed that they are interested in the consumption of gastronomic products that are characteristic of certain popular destinations [9][10][11].…”

Accordingly, the ability of agro-tourism to attract gastronomic tourists can take a leading role in the development of the entire economy of a certain agro-destination, but also contribute to increasing the value of products of local farms [12].…”

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

One of the key elements for the development of an agro-tourism destination can be specific gastronomy. In this context, research and understanding of the motivation of tourists who visit those destinations can influence the development of the concept of their sustainability, which was the goal of this research. The research was conducted during 2022 on a total sample of 607 respondents who stayed in agro-tourism destinations in the Republic of Serbia. The paper presents motivational factors that potentially influence the frequency of gastronomic tourists to try local gastronomic specialties and food in agro-tourism destinations. The results indicate that the cultural experience dimension, excitement dimension, interpersonal, relation dimension, and sensory appeal dimension show a significant influence on the visitation of agro-tourism destinations by gastronomic tourists, while the health concern dimension factor does not show statistical significance. The results undoubtedly indicate that certain socio-demographic characteristics of gastro-tourists have an impact on the development of an agro-tourism destination, in the direction that the more educated as well as women have more positive attitudes towards the influence of motivational factors on the development of an agro-tourism destination.

“…By analyzing HCE firms monitor how capable they are of creating value through the efficient use of human capital (Pulić, 2004). Third, previous studies have analyzed the relationship between human capital and the competitiveness of agricultural firms (Dimovski et al, 2022); human capital and growth of firms (Pansy Wong et al, 2023); human resource management and motivation in agriculture (Ilic et al, 2022). Vukoje et al (2022) consider that future research should be based on the analysis of the financial performance of agricultural firms and farms, as well as the analysis of available capacities as the main drivers of the agricultural sector.…”

Contemporary business conditions, the global food crisis, and the post-epidemic recession have led agricultural firms to reconsider human capital’s role in the overall business. Previous research points to the problem of low efficiency in the use of resources in the agricultural sector when it comes to investment and development of human capital. The aim of the study is to analyze the contribution of human capital to employee performance in agricultural firms in Serbia. Human capital is observed through human capital efficiency (HCE). Employee performance is observed through value-added per employee, net profit per employee, operating revenue per employee, and labor productivity. VAIC methodology for calculating HCE was applied in the paper. The sample includes 177 active agricultural firms that operated in Serbia in 2021. Based on the results, it can be concluded that HCE positively contributes to the observed employee performance, except in the case of value-added per employee.
