Abstract

According to the concept of authenticity, competitiveness of a tourist
destination depends on the complex interdependence of numerous
destination components and their interaction with the visitors of the
destination. The global standard for measuring competitiveness of countries
is the TTC Index of the World Economic Forum, the ranking list where
Serbia holds a relatively weak position. This position has been cyclically
improving and deteriorating, and opposite trends of indicators within
individual sub-indices also contribute to this, suggesting that activities
are uncoordinated. The Tourism Development Strategy of Serbia (TDS),
as an umbrella document to coordinate efforts to develop and improve
the competitiveness of Serbian tourism, identifies priority products and
destinations in Serbia. Such established priorities should contribute
both to the coordination among key stakeholders and, consequently, to
competitiveness in the international market. The analysis conducted in
this paper indicates that TDS has only partially identified the products
and destinations chosen by visitors.
