Abstract

Smederevo is located on the Danube River. It is characterized by extremely rich natural and social (anthropogenic) resources suitable for the development of a large number of different types of tourism. However, due to the policies that led to the tourism in the Republic of Serbia after the Second World War, which ignored the tourism as an industry, as well as the presence of the ironworks, this area has so far been very little represented in the plans and programs of development of tourism. Today, it is increasingly present tendency to take advantage of all potential that have destinations in order to maximize effects of tourist development. Considering present favorable natural and social resources suitable for development of tourism, the assumption is that it could have a positive impact on the local economy and its multiplied effects and synergetic character would connect a large number of economic activities. In recent years, great attention is paid to sustainable development. This approach is gaining in importance, bearing in mind the disturbed natural environment as well as the potentials that exist for tourist development. Hence if we seriously account on Smederevo as a tourist destination it must be observed all the standards that are prescribed by World Tourist Organization regading sustainable development. The basis for sustainable tourist development should be on the positive mutual relationship between the economy, visitors local community and environment. In this sense it is important to reduce negative impacts of the ironworks and industry and put focus on a sustainable approach not only tourist, but also the overall development of Smederevo. The aim of paper work is to show that the natural and social resources of Smederevo are suitable for the development of tourism industry generated in the light of sustainable development.
