Description
A major challenge facing Republic of Srpska (RS) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) as a whole, and other developing countries, is how to fine-tune tourism product development and marketing strategies to meet the changing needs of the traveller, while at the same time creating sustainable industry economic benefits while reducing socio-environmental costs. Indeed, BiH is blessed with a treasure of natural diversity, historical and cultural heritage and traditions that reflect the Global tourism trends. Therefore, tourism has a strong potential for development and, if adequately planned, can play a significant role within the overall economy. Tourism, in fact occupies the central stage of both RS and FBiH (Federation of BiH) development strategies. However, there has been a noticeable lack of highly trained Human Resource personal in tourism industry RS and BiH, the key prerequisite to meet the new Industry demand. In addition, in order to create competitive tourism products and sustainable tourism development models, an entrepreneurial approach is required by both private and public sectors. The conference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners from tourism and related disciplines and sectors to discuss the underlining issues.
