| Summary: | One of the initial stages of the tourist development is the assessment of the
elements or the entire area in order to identify priorities that will
continue to be presented and economically valorised through specific measures
and activities. This is possible to achieve by using different models of
evaluation with a tendency to more qualitative characteristics express
quantitatively. The idea is to develop a universal model that can be applied
to different areas in order to be comparable with each other, so
decision-makers knew exactly which one of the areas has greater potential to
develop tourism. This paper presents the model of evaluation of nature-based
touristic motives that was created by combining several adapted
methodologies. The proposed model is applied to the area of Ovčar-Kablar
Gorge (Western Serbia). After the process of evaluation, it turns out that
natural elements of Ovčar-Kablar Gorge have moderate importance to the
development of tourism and that with concrete measures in the field of nature
protection and planning of the tourist area, this status can be improved. |
