Abstract

Tourism is one of the most developed industries in the world that is continuously growing. It has many different shapes and types with many different factors that affect its success. Over the years, tourism has changed. The new era of tourism is trying to put focus on present environmental problems such as the amount of waste, the use of natural resources and the pollution that it produces as a result of different activities. In this paper, the effect of natural and artificial resources on the development of three types of ecotourism is observed on the area of Semberija and Majevica in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Types of tourism that were research are: cultural and heritage tourism, spa (healing) tourism and recreational tourism. All these types have a great presence on the observed area. The distribution and attendance of the three types of tourism mentioned above is largely dependent on natural elements, such as water and forest areas, which can have both a positive and a negative effect on its development. On the area of Semberija and Majevica, types of tourism largely depend from the location and its surrounding.
