Serbia Tourism
Serbia represents a unique, unexplored, and unsaturated destination with rich history and vibrant culture. Numerous attractions that can generate significant tourist demand can be found all over the country: from stunning nature and specific microclimatic spas to peaceful villages and busting cities. Medieval monasteries housing beautiful frescoes and modern galleries represent Serbia's real treasures. One can also experience senses of Serbia through enjoyable national cuisine, authentic wines, and famous brandy.
Compared to other regional economies, Serbia offers very skilled and experienced labor at reasonable costs and higher degree of flexibility in terms of labor relations. Furthermore, as the ease of communication with hotel staff is crucial for guest's satisfaction and vital for providing quality tourism service, it should be emphasized that the knowledge of foreign languages has always been an advantage of the Serbian workforce when compared to other SEE countries.
There are numerous tourist attractions along 588 navigable kilometers of the River Danube in Serbia. Historical monuments, national parks, and natural reserves make perfect environment for cruising and fishing, but also represent investment potentials. Moreover, the costs of transportation on this waterway are much lower than those associated with any other form of transport.
At present, a number of Greenfield projects in the tourism industry are well underway. Yet, many premium locations in downtown Belgrade are still waiting for potential investors. Many attractions for city breaks and MICE tourism will attract an increasing number of tourists, but international hotel chains are still not sufficiently present in Serbia to meet this increasing quality demand.
In the late 1980's, Belgrade was one of the key destinations in terms of congress tourism. Nowadays, Serbia has emerged as a new prospective destination for many reasons: existence of one of Europe's largest plenary spaces, good hotel packages for up to 1,000 rooms, good accessibility by air, number of tourist attractions, etc.
