This paper represents a case study examining perceptions about tourism and reactions of the local community and bank decision makers to its development. The survey method was applied to establish the community’s attitude towards the impact of tourism in different spheres of life in the Kopaonik National Park (Serbia). The sample of 195 adult respondents covered inhabitants of 16 communities located within the wider area of the national park. In parallel, the potential support of banks for tourism development was examined on a sample of 21 banks. The survey results identified strong positive attitudes towards tourism and the presence of tourists among the local population. Compared to other categories, the community’s members employed in tourism had more favorable perceptions of tourism. The findings of the study also revealed that younger and better educated members of the population had more positive attitudes towards tourism impacts. Certain independent economic variables (the impact of tourism on job creation) and non-economic ones (the impact of tourism on activities of the community, reactions to the presence of tourists) significantly predicted the community´s support for tourism. An analysis of potential bank support showed that future community involvement in the tourism industry should be initiated by an adequate approach and credit policy instruments in the wider area of the Kopaonik National park.

The purpose of the article is to determine the main socio-cultural and socio-economic aspects of the emergence and spread of independent travel, trends in changing requirements and expectations of travelers in modern conditions. Method. The basis of the conducted research is based on analytical, comparative-geographical and synthetic methods. Results. On the basis of in-depth analysis of printed and electronic information sources, relevant information was obtained on the impact of socio-cultural and socio-economic factors on the spread of independent travel in modern conditions. It is shown that the growth of the interest of different sections of the population in the independent organization of their recreation or travel led to the emergence of independent travelers or sew-tourists. It was proved that the main objective factors that influenced the rapid development of independent tourism, in addition to the wide introduction of information technology and telecommunications in the sphere of tourism, was the change in the motivation of travel with a predominant emphasis on intercultural communication. Intercultural communication of travelers can and should improve relations between nations, as well as enrich their own national culture on the basis of studying another culture, through the absorption of another language. Scientific novelty. The impact of the socio-cultural and socio-economic environment on the spread of independent travel in the modern conditions is substantiated substantially. Further development of knowledge about the tendencies of development of independent tourism in the conditions of deepening of globalization processes has been acquired. Practical significance. The obtained results of the research are an important information base for the development of the tourism industry in the conditions of constant expansion of independent travel. The consideration of modern trends in the development of tourism is necessary in developing an effective marketing strategy for a tourist enterprise, diversifying its activities in the conditions of changing motivations and requirements of consumers of tourist services.

Cultural heritage tourism (CHT) has become an important part of the tourism industry. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the sustainability of CHT destinations for tourism development. The majority of existing studies have examined the destination sustainability of ecotourism with the considerations of three stakeholder groups, namely, resource administration, tourist, and local community. However, the impact of tourism enterprises on destination sustainability has been constantly ignored in CHT-related studies. To fill these gaps, this study aims at developing an indicator system for comprehensively assessing the sustainability of CHT destinations. Specifically, this study identified an evaluation indicator system based on the Delphi technique and applied it to the context of Pingyao Ancient City in China. Results demonstrated that scores obtained by all four stakeholder groups ranged between 3.0 and 4.0 and the overall sustainability score was only 63.94, indicating that Pingyao was in the “somewhat sustainable” state according to the criteria (0−25, unsustainable; 25−50, somewhat unsustainable; 50−75, somewhat sustainable; 75−100, sustainable) specified in previous studies. A more balanced outcome should be achieved where each stakeholder’s interests are fully considered, but not at the expense of the others. The findings are of great significance for heritage tourism literature and sustainable destination management.
