Abstract: The attractiveness of food, especially national, is one of the predispositions for developing certain forms of tourism: rural, ecotourism, gastronomic and enogastronomic tourism whose focus is food that is healthy and organic. Although food is not a basic tourist motive for many tourists, there is an increasing trend of manifestation tourism and food festivals, where gastronomy is the central or accompanying motive.Valorisation of gastronomic tourism in the Central Bosnia region is at a very modest level. There is no significant interest in the development of this form of tourism in the region by tourism organizations, but also by local and cantonal authorities. First of all, there are no systemic incentives for the population to develop gastronomic tourism in rural households and for the presentation of traditional products to visitors. Also, there is no interest of the professionals in the field of tourism and cuisine arts for developing strategies and modules for improving the gastronomic supply.The Central Bosnia region has great potential for organic production because of its unpolluted land, climate and numerous agricultural producers, and traditional farming has led to final products that can represent national, regional and international brands.The main goal of this paper is to identify the leading gastronomic potential that the research area has and to point out the necessity of putting them into the function of developing certain aspects of tourism.

Abstract: Both cartography and tourismology are scientific disciplines that originated in geography. Until recently, it was considered that, along with other geosciences, they were only subdisciplines that deal with its individual segments in more detail. From the formal point of view, such theories can be justified to some extent, but essentially, we see that these are two very serious sciences with a wide range of scientific research competencies. Traces of cartographic and tourismological research can be found, from the oldest levels of development of human civilization when they developed under the auspices of geography to their later development as a discipline that studies and observes the Earth and its spheres from a cause-and-effect point of view. Since the separation from their „mother“ discipline and their further independent development, with specific scientific-research peculiarities, both cartography and tourism form a special way of studying the objective reality and interpretation of the observed. This paper will research the connection of these two sciences, which rely on each other, where appropriate solutions arise from mutual connections, which are in themselves answers to the questions asked. The specificity of the connection between these sciences is seen in the application of the cartographic method, ie enabling the perception of three important categories through the spatial, temporal and essential definition of the tourism specifics of the treated space. Cartography draws contents from tourism and tourism, in cartography and its numerous methods and means of expression, seeks the most expedient ways of presenting the obtained data.
Key words: cartography, turismology, cartographic method, cartographic means of expression.

UDC: 338.484:502.131.1(497.6 Podrinje)
Abstract: Podrinje tourist-geographical region is rich in diversity and preserved from pollution natural tourist potentials that can be the basis for the development of more specific forms of tourism (mountain, hunting, rural, excursion-recreational, adventure, recreational-sports, fishing, and ecotourism), both local and of regional, national or international importance. This paper will present the most important natural tourist potentials of the Podrinje touristgeographical region, their valorization, as well as their possibility of use for tourist purposes. Also, the tourist traffic and accommodation capacities of this tourist-geographical region will be shown. Finally, a conclusion will be given as to how these unique, still unspoiled natural phenomena, should be treated so that they remain so for future generations.
Keywords: Podrinje tourist-geographical region, natural tourist potentials, tourist valorization, tourist development.

Abstract: Transport and tourism are interdependent, since the development of tourism is influenced by the development of transport but at the same time it affects the development of transport. The improvement of air transport has enabled faster, safer and more comfortable connection of generating countries and destinations, which has a positive impact on the development of tourism. On the other hand, the increase in tourist demand encourages the further development of transport and means of transport are being developed for tourist purposes. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the role of air transport in tourism has changed in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemicand also in which direction it will develop changes. In order to investigate the changing role of air transport in tourism, a three-step analysis was conducted. The first step analyses the interdependence of tourism and air transport in the period before the global pandemic. In the second step, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on air transport and consequently on tourism is investigated. While the third step predicts the consequences that this pandemic could have on air transport and tourism.The results of the analysis showed that the interdependence of air transport and tourism is stable even in conditions of global crises (such as a pandemic). However, it can be expected that both air transport and tourism will experience changes, both in the area of safety standards and in the area of new product development.

UDC: 338.48-51(497.6 NP Sutjeska)
Abstract: The subject of the research is Sutjeska National Park, with special attention on the possibilities of establishing and developing adventure tourism. Sutjeska National Park is one of the four national parks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was founded in 1962, which makes it the oldest National Park. It was declared a protected area due to the famous Battle of Sutjeska during the Second World War, but also due to the existence of a significant natural geographical basis. A large number of cultural and historical monuments, Perućica rainforest, Maglić and Zelengora mountains, the mountain lakes, Sutjeska, and Hrčavka rivers are just some of the tourist potentials of the protected natural area. Until 1992, tourist activities in this area were based mainly on the achievements of the national struggle for liberation. After 1995, the interest of tourists in this type of tourism decreased to a large extent, so complementary tourist activities began to develop. To complete the tourist offer in Sutjeska national park, adventure tourism is being developed (hiking, mountaineering, alpine climbing, cycling, rafting, etc.). Given the natural geographical and cultural-historical elements, the Sutjeska national park is an ideal area for the development of this type of tourism, which contributes to the completion of the tourist offer.
