AB  - Mt. Stara Planina is located in the eastern part of the Republic of Serbia and represents the westernmost part of the large mountain massif of the Balkans. Both endogenous and exogenous forces created interesting geomorphological and hydrological features for geotourism development in this area. This article proposes a preliminary list of geomorphological and hydrological sites and analyses them to reveal which geosite possesses geotourism potential. This research was carried out by applying the modified geosite assessment model. In this article, ten geosites were singled out based on the degree of their attractiveness for geotourism development. The results reveal information about the key fields of improvement for each evaluated geosite, and identify which areas require more attention and better management in the upcoming period for Mt. Stara Planina to become a well-known geotourism destination that would attract a large number of tourists in the future.

AB  - Due to changing climatic conditions, artificial snowmaking has become a major method of ski resort adaptation globally. It is a financially intensive operation requiring high start-up investment and involving operating costs that are dependent on weather conditions. Operational costs and the expansion of artificial snowmaking systems increase the price of ski passes. In our work, we analyzed the operations of a public company that operates the largest ski resorts in Serbia and directs the flow of winter sports tourism. We tried to determine, by means of correlation, the extent to which ski pass prices in the biggest winter resort in Serbia are influenced by factors such as natural snow cover, number of tourist overnights, ski run length, and local wages. The results of the survey indicate an increasing transformation of the ski resort into a thematic attraction independent of climatic factors in terms of determining ski pass prices.

AB  - The Podrinje-Valjevo Mountains (located in Western Serbia) constitute the longest mountain range in Serbia and possess numerous and diverse geo-heritage sites. In prior research, this region has been poorly investigated in terms of evaluating its geo-sites for geo-tourism potential. The aim of this paper is to evaluate and compare protected geo-sites in the Podrinje-Valjevo Mountains in order to determine their current state and potential for future geo-tourism development. This is done by applying the modified geo-site assessment model (M-GAM). Eight geo-sites were analysed and evaluated: Kovacevica Cave, Tresnjica Gorge, Taor Springs, Gradac Gorge, Crna River Gorge, Petnica Cave, Ribnica Gorge, and Ribnica Cave. The research results show the analysed geo-sites possess substantial geo-tourism development potential for making the Podrinje-Valjevo Mountains a geo-tourism destination. However, there is a lot of room for improvement of additional values such as promotion, tourist infrastructure, visitor centres, tour guide services, and interpretative panels. The results also show that there are certain differences between the evaluation of hydrological and speleological geo-sites within a region. Therefore, in order to comparatively analyse with maximum relevance, it is proposed to use the model to evaluate the same type of geo-sites.

AB  - The results obtained through evaluation of the Gradac River Gorge by applying the M-GAM model are presented in this study. The main goal of the research was to observe current state and explore possibilities for geotourism development in this area. By virtue of numerous indicators and sub-indicators, which are categorized either in group of Main or Additional values, this methodology gives us good insight in potentials of geoturism development. In addition, the
methodology has been improved by involving tourists. This approach offers a more objective perspective of the needs of tourists and provides a starting point for further research. Recently, Serbia has been included in UNESCO’s Global Geopark Network due to the Djerdap Gorge being made the country’s first geopark. The Gradac Gorge is equally valuable; it has vast geoheritage,
extraordinary landscapes, lush vegetation, and rich cultural and historical heritage. The geomorphological uniqueness of Gradac is the distinct meandering of the lower part of the river valley. Considering that it’s also a protected area (a Landscape of Outstanding Features), a valuable fishing area, and one of the most important tourist sites in Valjevo Region, it has high potential to become one of Serbia’s future Geoparks. The obtained results show the gorge having exceptional potential for geotourism development. On the other hand, it’s necessary to improve the guide service, the visitor center, and more additional values.
