Description
Summary:The massive development of tourism in recent years has undergone certain transformations precisely with the appearance of small forms of tourism, which have significant prospects for development in the future. It is believed that the rapid growth and development in the coming period can be achieved by some of the selective or alternative forms of tourism such as cultural, cruises, city-break, mice, eco-tourism, etc. Common characteristics of selective forms of tourism are mostly individual travels or in the form of small groups. Participants were mostly more educated, experienced and responsible than the typical tourist participants in mass tourism, and a common occurrence are also individuals who are traveling alone, as well as tourists of higher financial abilities. City Municipality of Surcin represents the youngest (seventeenth) Belgrade municipality, formed in 2004 from a part of the municipality of Zemun. It is located about twenty kilometers west of Belgrade city center, and thanks to favorable geographical features it is classified in the green belt of the capital of Serbia. The first and the most common association with Surcin is the airport "Nikola Tesla", which this municipality is famous for. Convenient tourist traffic position of the municipality Surcin is defined by the directions of the corrido r Belgrade-Zagreb highway M1 (E70) and parts of the Belgrade bypass M-22 (E763 or E75). Following the latest trends in the tourism market, Surcin is becoming increasingly attractive to the individuals and small groups of tourists, positioning itself as a tourist destination of small form tourism, with the prospect for durable development.
