A DECADE OF TOURISM CHANGES IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA

Abstract

This research will present the changes in arrivals and overnight stays of the tourists to the Republic of Srpska in the observed period from 2013 to 2022. This is a continuation of the research, which was conducted in 2020. Data for tourist arrivals and overnight stays, according to NACE, were also presented in the same observed period. The paper explains the changes in the oscillations of visits and overnight stays in relation to the crisis years for tourism in the Republic of Srpska (2014 and 2020), but also the recovery in the years after. According to the research results, the authors again gave recommendations, based on the UNWTO Forecast (2022) which states that international tourism is on track to return to pre-pandemic levels, with twice as many people traveling during the first quarter of 2023 as during the same period in 2022.
