Abstract: At the beginning of this century, Tuzla became recognizable for the construction of salt lakes in the city center. The Pannonian lakes are the only salt lakes in Europe. They belong to the group of tourist values with emphasized recreational features. Of particular importance for the development of tourism are their aesthetic and healing properties, and they are frequent destinations for a large number of visitors to stay there. They stand out as the centers of the city's outdoor swimming pool, representing the basis for the development of cultural and event tourism. The Pannonian lakes have become a real attraction for all those who are unable to go to the sea and the basis for the future development of tourism in Tuzla. The paper presents theoretical-practical research of contemporary processes of tourism development in Tuzla. The goal of this research is the valorization of tourist destinations of the Pannonian Lakes as a creative tourist destination in the function of tourism development in Tuzla.
