COVID-19 pandemic, the foodservice industry has had to modify the way it offers its services. The aim of this paper is to examine the drivers of intention to use and recommendation of online food delivery (OFD) using the SOR model, to analyze the perceived risk of COVID-19 and its relationship with the perceived risk for online purchase of OFD as well as to analyze the cultural effect between Spain and India. For this purpose, an online questionnaire was developed by obtaining a sample of 422 users and structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to determine which variables had a significant influence on the adoption of the OFD. The results confirm that attitude is the main antecedent of intention to use and recommendation, in contrast to the subjective norm relationships, where it was only confirmed by recommendation. This finding demonstrates how individuals' attitude toward intention and recommendation is more favorable than influence of third parties on decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of the research is to examine, for the first time, the influence of dimensions of culture according to the GLOBE model on the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation. The research sample belongs to the service sector within the transitional society of Serbia, i.e. tourism and medical sector, which are linked through the ever-growing health tourism industry. Different influences of dimensions of culture (uncertainty avoidance, performance orientation, group collectivism, assertiveness and gender equality) on dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation (work ethic. innovativeness, empathy, autonomy and risk readiness) are confirmed. The obtained results are important for defining the cultural framework which influences the development of entrepreneurial activities within tourism and health service sectors in Serbia.

The COVID‐19 pandemic appears to be winding down. But has its psychological effect of the pandemic also faded? This next stage remains uncertain, which needs to be explored further. This article aims to understand changing consumer attitudes in post‐pandemic times. In this regard, the present study conducts a cross‐country analysis to examine and compare the COVID‐19 fear appeals of consumers in India and Spain (if they still exist) that may have an influence on the future use (FU) and recommendation of online food services (OFS). The study integrates the concept of fear appeal, the theory of planned behaviour and cultural values to observe differences between Indian and Spanish consumers, in influencing their intention to use OFS. The findings confirm the importance of hygiene risk, with very low or no significance of perceived COVID‐19 risk on OFS usage in both countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the paper is to provide an empirical study of employees' ethical behavior in travel and tourism industry. A survey research was done in 2012 in the Republic of Serbia among employees in travel agencies as one of the most important subjects in heterogeneous structure of travel and tourism industry, using a questionnaire designed according to the basic theoretical principles of professional ethics. Dealing with the issue of ethical responsibility of employees in travel agencies, this work examines whether employees have business ethics awareness and what kind of individual and corporate social responsibility as part of business environment is undertaken in this regard. The findings of the study showed that employees of travel agencies are ready to act in an ethical manner, although it is the opposite of management attitudes in specific situations. Finally, the paper provides a critical evaluation of entrepreneurial activities and obstacles that travel agencies encounter while operating in the Serbian economy in transition.

Constantly changing nature of social network sites creates the need for continuous process of online benchmarking for identifying practices used by other parties. Facebook as the most used SNS still plays an increasingly important role as a marketing channel for destination marketing organizations (DMO). This paper explores basic characteristics of the official DMO Facebook Pages in order to quantify and present those characteristics in a regional context on the case of two travel markets (EU countries and U.S. states). The results show inconsistent practices in the EU and the USA. When comparing those two markets most similarities in practices are present in general usage of Facebook Pages, while indicative differences are recorded in terms of Page popularity, some posts' characteristics and most evidently in users' engagement. Understanding the Facebook usage practice under the regional spotlight can help DMOs and other service providers to evaluate their activities and if necessary to harmonize it to regional usage practice.

spatial autocorrelation ,GIS ,tourist arrivals ,Serbia ,Geography (General) ,G1-922 - Abstract
Spatial autocorrelation methodologies can be used to reveal patterns and temporal changes of different spatial variables, including tourism arrivals. The research adopts a GIS-based approach to spatially analyse tourist arrivals in Serbia, using Global Moran's I and Anselin's Local Moran's I statistics applied on the level of municipalities. To assess feasibility of this approach the article discusses spatial changes of tourist arrivals in order to identify potentially significant trends of interest for tourism development policy in Serbia. There is a significant spatial inequality in the distribution of tourism arrivals in Serbia that is not adequately addressed in tourism development plans. The results of global autocorrelation suggest the existence of low and decreasing spatial clustering for domestic tourist arrivals and high, relatively stable spatial clustering for international tourists. Local autocorrelation statistics revealed different of domestic and international tourism arrivals. In order to assess feasibility of this approach these results are discussed in their significance to tourism development policy in Serbia.

The aim of this study is to explore a tourist preference towards information-communication technologies (ICTs) use at large-scale events, as well as disadvantages of insufficient ICTs implementation. In addition, we highlighted the importance of ICT usage on large-scale events for achieving smart tourism agenda. The importance and performance analysis of 38 attributes related to usage of ICTs at EXIT, a well-known European music festival held annually in Novi Sad (Serbia), was conducted. By employing an exploratory factor analysis, seven factors were extracted. The results show that the "level of smartness" of EXIT festival is relatively low. Furthermore, some advanced smart applications do not necessarily match tourists' needs and interests, while festival organizers should focus on more basic online information access. Festival should make an optimal use of smart tourism facilities by offering the right smart tourism devices and services, enabling tourists to meet smart technologies on time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cycling tourism is a rapidly developing type of tourism in Europe and it is recognised in the tourism strategic documents of the Republic of Serbia as one of the key tourist products that should be developed specifically in the Danube region. This paper aimed to examine residents' perceptions towards cycling tourism on the Danube cycle route in Serbia using the modified Tourism Impact Attitude Scale (TIAS). In addition, a multiple regression model was used to test the effects of the independent variables on residents' perceptions towards cycling tourism development. The research findings indicate that residents have a favourable attitude towards cycling tourism, which is in the initial phase of development in the study area, and that the independent variables are predictors of residents' perceptions. Implications for tourism development and planning are discussed and future research opportunities provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Business travel, as the sector with the fastest growth in the tourism industry globally, has received increased attention from both countries and cities, particularly from emerging destinations. In developing economies, business travel, including attending meetings, conferences, incentives and other business events, often plays a leading role in the growth of the wider travel and tourism sector. Therefore, tourism authorities and convention bureaus at the national and city levels have been struggling to attract international conferences and a larger number of participants to conferences. Understanding factors, which appear to be important in the conference participation decision-making process, can help conference organizers and destinations to attract more participants and thus gain more benefit from this growing sector of the tourism industry. Therefore, this study aims to examine factors affecting the conference participation decision-making from the academics' perspective. Furthermore, it investigates how different socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents influence the extracted factors of the conference participation decision-making process. The data was collected from the academics employed at the University of Novi Sad in Serbia. The findings reveal six dimensions of conference participation decision-making: destination stimuli, costs and destination accessibility, educational and professional opportunities, intervening opportunities, location factors, and conference factors. The results also show that there are statistically significant differences in some extracted factors between respondents of different gender, age, education level, and academic position, while the frequency of participation in international conferences does not influence the factors. The results could be of interest to all stakeholders in the business travel and tourism industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reviews the literature on tourism destination competitiveness from different aspects, focusing on comparative and competitive advantages. Also, the paper highlights the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in tourism destinations and their increasing impact on the achievement of destination competitiveness. Thanks to the wider application of ICTs in tourism, tourists nowadays are well informed and have access to global market which creates a new dynamic environment by creating a smart demand. Since smartness emphasizes on ICT-based tools, including smartness integration for value co-creation, it can increase and enhance destination competitiveness. In this regard, special emphasis is placed on exploring the core components of smartness and smart tourism destination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explores the underlying dimensions of destination competitiveness, analyzing the contributions of government and industry stakeholders in enhancing the competitive position of Serbia on the international tourism market. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to explore latent dimensionality of “destination competitiveness” among 48 competitiveness attributes evaluated by experts from the public and private sectors of Serbia’s tourism industry. Results show that Serbian competitiveness structure comprises five dimensions: risk management and adaptive environmental strategies, innovation and product development, planning for sustainable development, networking and community concern, and education for sustainability. The research identifies challenges and suggests areas where private and public linkages should be strengthened in order to enhance the competitiveness of Serbia’s tourism industry. Generically, the study advances our understanding of destination competitiveness, its multidimensional nature, and the implications for policy making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

У времену када је омогућена доступност до готово свих места на Земљи, конкурентност између туристичких дестинација је постала већа него икада раније. Туристичке дестинације се налазе под континуираним притиском да одрже и повећају конкурентност на променљивом туристичком тржишту. Са тим у вези, изграђени имиџ туристичких места, квалитет пружених услуга и задовољство туриста, као крајњи резултат туристичког доживљаја, представљају основу успешног маркетинга и менаџмента дестинација. Јединствена одлика градова као туристичких дестинација састоји се у томе да они представљају и понуду и потражњу у контексту туризма. Наиме, у урбаним подручјима, посматрано глобално, живи и ради више људи него у руралним срединама, те су градови места у којима, у највећој мери, настаје потреба за туристичким путовањима. Истовремено, градови су изузетно популарни као туристичке дестинације које карактеришу краћа и чешћа путовања. Такође, градски туризам је један од најпопуларнијих видова туризма. Из тог разлога је истраживање за потребе ове дисертације спроведено у Београду, као водећој градској туристичкој дестинацији у Србији и једној од најпосећенијих туристичких дестинација на Балкану. Ово научно истраживање је усмерено на проблематику утицаја имиџа туристичке дестинације и квалитета туристичких услуга на задовољство туриста. Појам имиџа се посматра кроз когнитивну, афективну и конативну димензију, док конструкт квалитета обухвата квалитете приступачности, смештаја и атракција. Социо-демографске карактеристике и претходно искуство туриста у дестинацији су представљени као елементи који модерирају везу имиџ-задовољство. На крају, испитани су и утицаји који постоје засебно између димензија имиџа. At a time when accessibility to almost all places on Earth has been made possible, competition between tourist destinations has become greater than ever before. Tourist destinations are under constant pressure to maintain and increase competitiveness in a volatile tourism market. In these circumstances, the built image of tourist places, the quality of services provided and tourist satisfaction, as the end result of the tourist experience, are the basis of successful marketing and destination management. The unique feature of cities as tourist destinations is that they represent both supply and demand in the tourism context. Namely, in urban areas, viewed globally, more people live and work than in rural areas, and cities are places where, to the greatest extent, exist a need for tourist travel. At the same time, cities are extremely popular as tourist destinations characterized by shorter and more frequent trips. Also, city tourism is one of the most popular types of tourism. Hence, the research for the needs of this dissertation was conducted in Belgrade, as the leading city tourist destination in Serbia and one of the most visited tourist destinations in the Balkans. This research is focused on the issue of the impact that have tourist destination image and the quality of tourist services on the tourists’ satisfaction. The image construct is viewed through the cognitive, affective and conative dimensions, while the quality construct encompasses the qualities of accessibility, accommodation and attraction. Socio-demographic characteristics and previous experience of tourists in the destination are presented as elements that moderate the image-satisfaction relationship. Finally, the influences that exist separately between image dimensions were examined as well.

За концепте паметног града и паметне туристичке дестинације важна је улога геопросторних аспеката у њиховој изградњи, управљању и коришћењу. Геопросторне технологије су посебно битне ИКТ и чине саставни део инфраструктуре паметне туристичке дестинације. Теорија и пракса указују на недовољну заступљеност геопросторног приступа, иако се геопросторне технологије налазе у основи већине паметних пројеката које чине град и дестинацију паметном. Истраживање у граду Новом Саду је показало да је знатан број паметних решења, пројеката и пракси већ имплементиран, али и да постоји простор за нове, те да је већина истражених паметних пројеката геопросторно оријентисана. Za koncepte pametnog grada i pametne turističke destinacije važna je uloga geoprostornih aspekata u njihovoj izgradnji, upravljanju i korišćenju. Geoprostorne tehnologije su posebno bitne IKT i čine sastavni deo infrastrukture pametne turističke destinacije. Teorija i praksa ukazuju na nedovoljnu zastupljenost geoprostornog pristupa, iako se geoprostorne tehnologije nalaze u osnovi većine pametnih projekata koje čine grad i destinaciju pametnom. Istraživanje u gradu Novom Sadu je pokazalo da je znatan broj pametnih rešenja, projekata i praksi već implementiran, ali i da postoji prostor za nove, te da je većina istraženih pametnih projekata geoprostorno orijentisana. The role of geospatial aspects is important for the concepts of smart city and smart tourism destination in their construction, management and use. Geospatial technologies are especially important ICT and they are an integral part of the infrastructure of a smart tourism destination. Theory and practice underestimate the geospatial approach, although geospatial technologies are at the core of most smart projects that make a city and destination smart. Research in the city of Novi Sad has shown that a significant number of smart solutions, projects and practices have already been implemented, but also that there is room for new ones, and that most of the researched smart projects are geospatial oriented.

Туризам је у многим земљама препознат као кључни фактор развоја, повећања прихода и запослености. Истовремено има важну улогу у креирању имиџа и промоцији дестинације на међународном тржишту. Туристичка конкурентност је препозната као кључни фактор успеха туристичке дестинације. Због тога је важан задатак дестинацијског менаџмента да разуме како да се постигне и одржи конкурентност. У докторској дисертацији детаљно је приказана ресурсна основа туризма Јужнобанатске области кроз преглед туристичко-географског положаја, природног-географских карактеристика, друштвено-географских карактеристика и материјалне базе. Посебно су анализирани постојећи и потенцијални облици туризма, стратешко планирање и развојни пројекти. Извршена је туристичка валоризација и SWOT анализа расположивих ресурса Јужнобанатске области. Туристичка конкурентност оцењена је на основу ставова представника понуде добијених кроз анкетно истраживање. Анкетни упитник заснован је на Ричи и Кроуч моделу конкурентности. Резултати истраживања указују да Јужнобанатска области није конкурентна туристичка дестинација. Постоји значајна разлика у ставовима преставника приватног и јавног сектора у погледу дестинацијског менаџмента,политике, планирања и развоја дестинације. Ипак кроз истраживање указане су дестинацијске предности које могу бити полазиште за успостављање конкурентности. У оквиру рада дате су препоруке за будућа истраживања и активности јавног и приватног сектора туристичке привреде. Turizam je u mnogim zemljama prepoznat kao ključni faktor razvoja, povećanja prihoda i zaposlenosti. Istovremeno ima važnu ulogu u kreiranju imidža i promociji destinacije na međunarodnom tržištu. Turistička konkurentnost je prepoznata kao ključni faktor uspeha turističke destinacije. Zbog toga je važan zadatak destinacijskog menadžmenta da razume kako da se postigne i održi konkurentnost. U doktorskoj disertaciji detaljno je prikazana resursna osnova turizma Južnobanatske oblasti kroz pregled turističko-geografskog položaja, prirodnog-geografskih karakteristika, društveno-geografskih karakteristika i materijalne baze. Posebno su analizirani postojeći i potencijalni oblici turizma, strateško planiranje i razvojni projekti. Izvršena je turistička valorizacija i SWOT analiza raspoloživih resursa Južnobanatske oblasti.

Therefore, the fundamental task of destination management is to understand how tourism destination competitiveness can be enhanced and sustained. Available resources of South Banat district are being reviewed through interpretation of geographical location, natural and anthropogenic values and material base. The existing and potential forms of tourism, strategic planning and development projects were particularly analyzed. Tourist valorization and SWOT analysis of the available resources of the South Banat region were conducted. The assessment of tourist competitiveness is based on the survey of the stakeholders. The questionnaire was based on Ritchie and Crouch's competitiveness model. The results show that stakeholders believe South Banat is not a competitive tourism destination. A comparison of two groups of stakeholders, the private and public sectors, indicated significant differences in the ratings of destination management and in the destination's policy, planning and development determinants. However, the destination's advantages, which can be used as a starting point for improving the destination's competitiveness, were identified. Suggestions for future research and stakeholders activities in tourism are provided in the dissertation.

Паметни туризам је постао образац примене ИКТ у туризму. Као посебна агенда у оквиру дискурса Е-туризма, паметни туризам показује већи степен деловања, остварујући утицај у свим фазама туристичког путовања, као и на готово све чиниоце везано за хетерогену туристичку понуду и тражњу. Поједине дестинације су препознале значај паметног туризма и на принципима развоја које подржава овај концепт, унапредиле своју конкурентску позицију. Ту се подједнако мисли и на побољшање туристичког искуства, али и на добробит коју остварује сама дестинација и њени становници. У том контексту, ова докторска дисертација је испитивала могућности примене концепта паметног туризма на простору Републике Србије и начине на које он може утицати на туристичку конкурентност земље.Анализирана је конкурентност Србије као дестинације паметног туризма и то са аспекта запослених у туристичком сектору, као и са аспекта туриста у две одабране дестинације, Нови Сад и Врњачка бања.Да би Србија могла у будућности да се профилише као дестинација паметног туризма и да се развија на могућностима овог концепта, неопходно је, између осталог, анализирати ту проблематику са аспекта људских ресурса. С обзиром да се паметни туризам као најновији тренд у туризму, заснива и на информационо-комуникационим технологија, ова два аспекта су узета као кључна у анализи конкурентности. Разумевање ових фактора може бити значајно у утврђивању слабих тачки и предности, као неопходних услова за развој паметног туризма, односно утврђивање потенцијала Србије за развој паметног туризма. Добијена сазнања такође могу да покрену питање да ли су запослени у туристичком сектору спремни да развијају паметни туризам тако што ће показати спремност и прихватити имплементацију нових технологија, било да се ради о усвајању новог информационог система на радном месту, или ће се нагласак ставити на системе услуга намењене туристима., Pametni turizam je postao obrazac primene IKT u turizmu. Kao posebna agenda u okviru diskursa E-turizma, pametni turizam pokazuje veći stepen delovanja, ostvarujući uticaj u svim fazama turističkog putovanja, kao i na gotovo sve činioce vezano za heterogenu turističku ponudu i tražnju. Pojedine destinacije su prepoznale značaj pametnog turizma i na principima razvoja koje podržava ovaj koncept, unapredile svoju konkurentsku poziciju. Tu se podjednako misli i na poboljšanje turističkog iskustva, ali i na dobrobit koju ostvaruje sama destinacija i njeni stanovnici. U tom kontekstu, ova doktorska disertacija je ispitivala mogućnosti primene koncepta pametnog turizma na prostoru Republike Srbije i načine na koje on može uticati na turističku konkurentnost zemlje.Analizirana je konkurentnost Srbije kao destinacije pametnog turizma i to sa aspekta zaposlenih u turističkom sektoru, kao i sa aspekta turista u dve odabrane destinacije, Novi Sad i Vrnjačka banja.Da bi Srbija mogla u budućnosti da se profiliše kao destinacija pametnog turizma i da se razvija na mogućnostima ovog koncepta, neophodno je, između ostalog, analizirati tu problematiku sa aspekta ljudskih resursa. S obzirom da se pametni turizam kao najnoviji trend u turizmu, zasniva i na informaciono-komunikacionim tehnologija, ova dva aspekta su uzeta kao ključna u analizi konkurentnosti. Razumevanje ovih faktora može biti značajno u utvrđivanju slabih tački i prednosti, kao neophodnih uslova za razvoj pametnog turizma, odnosno utvrđivanje potencijala Srbije za razvoj pametnog turizma. Dobijena saznanja takođe mogu da pokrenu pitanje da li su zaposleni u turističkom sektoru spremni da razvijaju pametni turizam tako što će pokazati spremnost i prihvatiti implementaciju novih tehnologija, bilo da se radi o usvajanju novog informacionog sistema na radnom mestu, ili će se naglasak staviti na sisteme usluga namenjene turistima., Smart tourism has become a form of ICT application in tourism. As a special agenda within the e-tourism discourse, smart tourism shows a higher degree of action, having an impact in all stages of travel, as well as on almost all factors related to the heterogeneous tourist offer and demand. Certain destinations have recognized the importance of smart tourism and on the principles of development supported by this concept, have improved their competitive position. This refers on improving the tourist experience, but also on the benefits for the destination itself and its inhabitants. In that context, this PhD theseis examined the possibilities of applying the smart tourism concept in the Republic of Serbia and the ways in which it can influence the tourism competitiveness. The competitiveness of Serbia as a destination of smart tourism was analyzed from the aspect of the employees in the tourist sector, as well as from the aspect of tourists in two selected destinations, Novi Sad and Vrnjacka banja. In order to profiled Serbia as a smart tourism destination and to develop it on the possibilities of this concept, it is necessary, among other things, to analyze this issue from the aspect of human resources. Considering that smart tourism, as the latest trend in tourism, is based on information and communication technologies, these two aspects have been taken as crucial in the analysis of tourism competitiveness. Understanding of these factors can be important in identifying weaknesses and advantages, as the necessary issue for the smart tourism development, i.e.,determining the potential of Serbia for the development of smart tourism. The gained knowledge can also raise the question of whether tourism sector employees are ready to develop smart tourism by showing willingness and accepting the implementation of new technologies, whether it is the adoption of a new information system at the workplace, or it is about service systems for tourists.
