Abstract

Visitor management planning is a new concept, tool and strategy of sustainable tourism and ecotourism. The importance of this concept is in the new approach to tourism in protected areas of the country, which means implementing a completely different philosophy of tourism. This paper provides an overview of the potential for sustainable tourism development in Serbia as well as an overview of visitor management planning methodology – Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) that was tested in Special Nature Reserve Zasavica, in Srem District, Serbia.
