Rural tourism has been developing in Serbia since the 1970s. However, from the beginning of the 1990s, the development stopped. The development trend was only continued in the second half of the 1990s, and fast-paced development began in 2006. Rural tourism presents in various forms in Serbia. They are conditioned by natural geographic terrain characteristics, social and cultural elements, and strategic plans for tourism development. What appears as a problem in the development of rural tourism is the question of its sustainable development. The development of rural tourism should under no circumstances jeopardise the natural and social environment in the rural areas, as these aspects are the very basic tourist attraction and the “push and pull” force that animates the tourist demand. The goal of this chapter is to investigate the resources available in Serbia and show the possible directions in the rural tourism development, mainly based on the principle of sustainable development, as a precondition for the country's competitiveness on the tourism market.

The intense competition in the tourism sector increasingly pushes tourism destination marketers to seek more effective promotional practices, so that they remain competitive and attract more visitors. The fast expansion of the Internet and social media provides the opportunity for destination marketers to approach potential tourists in a simple and cost-effective way. While managing the official pages of destinations on social media, the basic question that arises is the configuration of the content, and how attractive this content could be for potential tourists. The purpose of this study is to investigate what elements of a destination, when displayed on social media, could be attractive factors for tourists. Through the analysis of push and pull tourism motivation factors in particular, this study focuses on the segmentation of the Greek market for those traveling abroad and the emergence of the basic elements that could attract each segment through social media. The respondents have been classified into four segments, according to the motives that more greatly influence their desire to travel. This analysis also shows the important relationships between these segments and the pull motivation factors on social media. The study concludes with findings and suggestions that can contribute to the planning of an effective social media marketing plan.

Diverse studies have focused on understanding the travel motivations of tourists, yet few explain the specific travel motivations of Russian tourists. In this regard, this study aims to explore the push and pull factors that motivate Russian tourists to visit Antalya, Turkey. Escape was regarded as the most important push factors, while the appealing outdoors was found to be the most important pull factor. An importance–performance analysis suggests that hotel services need to be improved. Regression analyses show that overall satisfaction was mostly affected by satisfaction with hotel services, while positive word-of-mouth and revisit intentions were affected the most by satisfaction with the appealing outdoors. Lastly, correlation analysis was used to discover interconnections between the push and pull motivation factors. Recommendations are provided for tourism authorities.

Rural geotourism is one of the geotourism products which is linked to rural tourism activities. More specifically, geo-villages especially stone villages are main forms of rural geotourism destinations and they are ideal for geotourists. Thus, the main study’s objective is to explore rural geotourists’ characteristics, revealing the differences in their motivations on weekends versus weekdays using a factor–cluster market segmentation approach. The sample population for this research consisted of tourists who have visited the Kandovan rocky village in Tabriz City. We collected push and pull motivation data from a questionnaire and separated respondents into weekend and weekday samples. The weekend and weekday motivation factors were derived from 30 motivation items through factor analysis. Among a total of 624 questionnaires distributed, 600 questionnaires were used for further data analyses. As a result of cluster analysis, weekend tourists were divided into three clusters and weekday tourists were segmented into four clusters. Through a comparison of the results for weekends and weekdays, we find both weekend and weekday tourists seek “novelty” and “geological attractions” when they travel to Kandovan.
