Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to prove the assumption that in the municipality of Bački
Petrovac there is a predisposition for the development of rural tourism, taking into
consideration the existing Spatial plan of the municipality, its conception and planning
priorities. The analysis of internal and external preconditions for the development of tourism
was conducted and also a field survey of registered rural households. Results of the analysis
show that the external features do not represent a significant obstacle to the development
of tourism, while on the other hand internal assumptions can be a limiting factor because
of the extremely unfavourable demographic situation and the inadequate offer of rural
households, which are mainly based on the services of accommodation. Proposals for the
development of tourism through tourist spots have been given, noting which combination
of existing tourist attractions is the best for the further development of every place except
Maglić because this settlement has no predisposition for the development of rural tourism.
In order to position tourism as an important economic activity and appropriate use of all
available resources eight activities which are necessary to be conducted in the future have
been proposed.
