Summary/Abstract: In the modern sense, tourism is the phenomenon of the 20th and 21st centuries, which, because of its ubiquity, universality, multi-functionality and dynamism constantly raises many questions of social existence. Therefore, in theory and practice of tourism, the process of finding the answers to the questions concerning the problems of development of the offers in the tourist areas is everlasting, and is considered as one of the elements of a broad spectrum of activities in tourism events. Tourist area, asa compilation of different social networks, is in fact a geographical area where economic and social development emerges. One should not ignore the fact that tourism is a constantly growing economic activity in all emissive states of the world, so why this would not be the case in the Republic of Serbia and in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today's estimates of the future of tourism, regardless of the current economic, security and social crises, predict that in relation to other activities tourism will in all probability still continue to grow. Tourism is the only certain possibility of development, particularly in the industrial and underdeveloped parts of the world, where authenticity, originality and attractiveness represent sustained and competitive advantages of economic and social development in the continent. The development of sustainable and responsible tourism is not something that is given in itself, but it is an important task of organized society at the local and regional levels, and at the same time the responsibility of the global society.
