Spatial Resources and Sustainable Development of Business Tourism in Serbia

Traffic And Tourism Position Of Serbia As A Factor For The Development Of Business Tourism

Serbia has a very favourable position occupying a central place on the Balkan Peninsula. Within the Republic of Serbia three distinct geographical regions are identified, namely parts of the Pannonian Plain in the north of the country, a mountain-valley part in the central part and Kosovo-Metohija Valley in the south. Within these three regions five areas can be identified which play a significant role in the overall economic and tourism development due to its geographical position. These are: the Velika Morava River Valley, where a part of Corridor 10 extends, the Danube River, which provides Serbia with the advantageous position within Europe, the West Morava Valley that has great significance in traffic linking the territory of Serbia in the west-east direction, Vojvodina with Pannonian plain over which Serbia is connected with central Europe and Kosovo and Metohija through which there is the shortest connection of the Adriatic with the Aegean Sea.
