Elements of tourist destinations: Example of Tourist-recreation centre in Koštunići

Abstract

There are various classifications of elements of tourist destinations in the scientific literature. For optimal consideration of elements of tourist destinations, the World Tourist Destination has proposed the FAS methodology applicable to the rural tourism destinations as well. In this paper, factors, attractors and support (FAS) were applied to the example of the eco-village (tourist-recreation centre) in Koštunići. Natu­ral, human and capital factors, natural, cultural and attractors in the form of centres for activities, support services, transport and catering as support to the tourism devel­opment, have been shown on the basis of field observations, interviews and relevant literature. On the example of tourist-recreation centre in Koštunići, the research results show that in each subgroup of elements, there are the elements which are key drivers of tourism development, but also those which have a limiting effect on this industry.

U naučnoj literaturi postoje raznovrsne klasifikacije elemenata turističke destinacije. U cilјu optimalnog sagledavanja elemenata turističke destinacije Svetska turistička destinacija je predložila FAS metodologiju, primenlјivu i na destinacije ruralnog turizma. Faktori, atraktori i podrška (FAS) su u ovom radu primenjeni na primeru eko sela (turističko- rekreativnog centra) u Koštunićima. Prirodni, lјudski i faktori kapitala, prirodni, kulturi i atraktori u vidu centara za aktivnosti, prateće usluge, transport i ugostitelјstvo kao podrška razvoju turizma, prikazani su na osnovu terenskih opservacija, razgovora i relevantne literature. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da na primeru turističko-rekreativnog centra u Koštunićima u svakoj podgrupi elemenata ima onih koji su klјučni nosioci razvoja turizma, ali isto ako ima i onih koji ograničavajuće deluju na ovu delatnost.
