Authenticity in tourism has now been for many years a particular challenge for professionals in tourism studies. The concept itself is rather vague, but also useful in analysing the supply of selected tourist destinations. The focus of the paper is on the analysis of the elements of authenticity in the selected protected area of nature in Slovenia. As a case study, we chose the Škocjanski zatok Nature reserve, an urban wetland in the immediate vicinity of Koper. The restored and renatured area acts as green oasis and successfully defies various pressures on this sensitive environment already twenty years after its formal establishment. After conducting a field research and interviews with key stakeholders, we find out that the understanding of authenticity is important in order to preserve the biodiversity of the Škocjanski zatok Nature reserve and, consequently, its uniqueness (in the context of tourism development). This should also be the main guideline, and challenge at the same time, for the management in creating an adequate tourist offer.

The turbulent past and the events of the past centuries have led to the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the creation of an environment in which different religions co-exist, interact and complement each other. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country of long and rich history, which cultural heritage presents a complex mixture of Mediterranean, Byzantine, Ottoman and Central European influences making the country a unique attraction for cultural and religious tourism. As a meeting point of different civilizations and cultures over centuries, most of major religions Judaism, Roman Catholics, Christian Orthodox and Islam exist in harmony in this country offering a number of sacred places and unique experience to domestic and international visitors. In this paper we will present the representation of religious objects and manifestations of Travnik tourismgeographical region, their tourist valorization and proposal in order to improve this specific form of tourism.

The image of Sarajevo is still quite unexplored. The image of the city of Sarajevo has long been disturbed due to war events, but also because of the unstable political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The purpose of the paper is to explore the cognitive, affective, and conative components of the image of the city of Sarajevo. The goal is to discover how the cognitive, affective, and conative component influences the overall image of the city of Sarajevo. The paper used a quantitative approach to research, which included data collection through surveys. This study used a convenience sample of 250 foreign tourists – tourists who visited Sarajevo during the winter (from December 10, 2018, to January 31, 2019). For data analysis, descriptive statistics and ANOVA were used. The results of the research have shown that the cognitive, affective, and conative components of the image have a statistically significant positive influence on the overall image of the city of Sarajevo.

This article analyzes the historical - geographical features and changes in tobacco cultivation in Herzegovina (region of Bosnia and Herzegovina), for a period of 17 century until the late 20th century. The aim of this paper is to investigate the importance of tobacco, both in terms of economic and social significance, and the valorization of rural areas in Herzegovina. Special attention was paid to the smuggling of products, focusing on the time and route of smuggling routes. During the Austro - Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the most important period for the production of tobacco and the social and economic prosperity in rural areas, but also smuggling tobacco during this period, and the most intense, and the fight against it. In this period began in the industrial processing of tobacco and manufacturing cigarettes. Since the 1970s appears outflow of population from rural to industrial centers, both locally and in Western European countries. It happens layering the villages, leaving the agricultural lands and start a negative impact on agricultural production which causes the marginalization of tobacco production.

Demographic features of the population in all the republics of former Yugoslavia were far better prior to the war which started in this area at the end of the 20th century. Although certain republics experienced decline of some demographic indicators during the 1980s, there were no assumptions that several decades later the situation would significantly worsen. During the period of almost half a century mean population age increased for almost ten years in all the republics. The share of the older persons increased, and the share of the younger persons decreased, which resulted in the increase of the age index. War victims, as well as emigration and decrease in the birth rate and the increase in mortality rate with other factors led to further decline in demographic state year by year. Population number fluctuations have been analysed for the period 1880-2011 (2013). Mean age, ageing index and youth index have been calculated for the demographic analysis. Demographic indicators were calculated on the basis of pre-war censuses (1971 and 1981) as well as on the basis of the censuses conducted at the beginning of the war and after the war in the 1990s and then compared. Precisely, the census data from 1991 were used together with two censuses conducted during the 21st century. The latest two censuses were not conducted at the same time in all newly formed countries, which additionally complicated the analysis.

The Una valley with its tributaries, high-yield karst springs, as well as numerous hydrogeomorphological objects of great aesthetic value, represent a unique complex that could greatly affect the development of tourism in Una catchment area. Springs as separate hydrogeomorphological objects can be an important natural potential for tourism development. The Una River System is located in the northwest of Bosnia and Herzegovina and it partly includes the territory of the neighboring Croatia. Concerning its specific geographical position, as well as the physical-geographic determinants, which determine it, the development of tourism industry in this area could be an important source of revenue for the administrative units to which it belongs to.

An exploratory analysis of relations between the overall life satisfaction, selected specific aspects of the life satisfaction, and size of settlements in Slovenia in a case study from 2015 is presented. Analyses of variance and discriminant analysis show weak differences between group averages of life satisfaction in groups defined on the basis of settlement size. However, regression trees method reveals the settlements size as an important life satisfaction factor in specific circumstances, and that overall life satisfaction prediction rules are different for “bigger” (>10.000 inhabitants) and “smaller” settlements (<10.000 inhabitants).

The subject of this scientific work (article) is the research of cultural heritage for the development of cultural entrepreneurship in the tourism of Tuzla Canton. This research includes a detailed analysis of the cultural heritage which is the basis for the development of cultural tourism in Tuzla Canton. More detailed research has also shown the factors to be affirmed in the direction of the development of cultural tourism and thus enrich the tourist offer of Tuzla Canton, which is still not sufficiently developed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The process of identifying tourism resources has shown the presence of numerous and valuable tourist resources, representing material acts inherited from previous generations through different time periods and which testify to the continuity of the people's lives in this area. In this great wealth of tourist resources there are prospects and opportunities for tourism development. The possibilities for development of cultural entrepreneurship in the area of Tuzla Canton are great, but it is necessary to seriously devise a quality tourism development strategy and promotion to the tourism market. The aim of the work is to recognize the possibility of incorporating the cultural identity of the population of Tuzla Canton into tourism which will be cultivated and preserved through tourism activities.

The objective of this study is to analyse the adoption of different corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in small and medium-sized (SME) tourism enterprises in a small transitional economy. Based on literature review, motives for responsible business behaviour and several industry-specific CSR practices, that belong to four CSR dimensions were identified – local community, environment, marketplace policy, and human resources. The study was conducted by direct interviews with managers’ of tourism SMEs. Results reveal that the most significant CSR dimension is the Environmental dimension. The identified CSR practices are implemented through different operational mechanisms and according to the factor analysis, they embrace all four CSR dimensions (respectively): Environmental policies, Company values – workplace policies, Company values – marketplace policies, and Community policies.

Magnesite is an industrial mineral of magnesium, which most often occurs in the form of crystalline, massive and amorphous forms. Mineral magnesite has a wide and varied application in the production of high-strength materials: powder (flour), sinter, bricks (magnesite, magnesite-chromite, forsteric, etc.). In the construction industry it is used for the production of magnesium cement. In smaller quantities it is used in chemical, pharmaceutical, rubber and other industrial branches. The area of the so-called "Bosnian Serpentine Zone" are stand out in the area of the inner Dinarides of Bosnia and Herzegovina, among numerous phenomena and larger deposits of magnesite. In terms of quality, the variability from high quality to those that can not be used in the refractory industry is determined. Magnesite deposits mostly require certain preparation procedures in order to achieve higher quality magnesite. The paper presents deposits and the appearance of magnesite in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with emphasis on the results of previous research, quality, reserves, usability and laboratory testing, and the results of the latest X - ray examinations from one site have been presented.
