Abstract

Tourism is a very important component of national economy. One of the main functions of tourism is that it directly and indirectly affects the growth of gross domestic product. Along with the strengthening of this economic aspect, tourism encourages the employment and it also affects job creation, which is reflected in the improvement of general living standards. Tourism is one of the industries that offer the best opportunities for economic growth and employment creation. However, the role and influence of tourism on employment, and thereby the development, varies greatly on the scope, character and level of development as well as on the relative importance of the tourism industry in a specific country or destination. The aim of this paper is to point out to the tourist sector impact on the total employment and on the employment in the sector of accommodation and food service activities in Serbia. For this purpose, statistical methods will be used to determine the strength and the direction of this relationship.
