Abstract
Cluster analysis is gaining increasing importance in the contemporary development
of tourism. These are mostly areas that have similar tourist values. This paper presents
the competitiveness of tourist destinations in the cluster of rural tourism Zlatar,
Zlatibor, as defined in the Master Plan for Sustainable Development of Rural Tourism
in Serbia. Having used AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) criteria pairs have been
first compared, and then the alternatives (villages of Zlatar and Zlatibor). The seven
criteria used in this paper are the following: factors and attractors, accessibility
and infrastructure, accommodation facilities, unemployment, experience in rural
tourism, proximity of the marketplace, and seasonality. The AHP method has been
used to determine relations between the influence factors and the dominance of one
factor in relation to another.It has been noted a relatively weak dominance of the
villages of Zlatibor, by all criteria, except when it comes to unemployment, which is
dominated by the villages of Zlatar.
