In order to accomplish the main objective, a statistical overview of the two mentioned tourism markets is conducted, as well as a comparison of available and potential tourism products. Furthermore, the paper brings to the equation a comparative analysis of several tourism policies based on each national strategic plan for tourism, as well as a brief review of their effectiveness. Bearing in mind that Serbia is a landlocked country, sun & sea product of Portugal was analysed separately.

A significant trend in the world is a priority in creating the strategies for the preservation of the environment. Bearing in mind the importance of environmental sustainability, the authors of this paper point to environmental responsibility, which is part of corporate social responsibility, which makes it an indispensable part of modern hotel business. The concept of environmental responsibility in hotel companies contributes to the maintenance of ecological balance and natural resources of destinations in which it operates, as well as improves the economic results of operations. The aim of this paper is to present, on the basis of reasoned theoretical considerations, the results of the research on environmental responsibility and awareness of managers of hotels in Serbia.

Konkurentnost hotela u mnogome zavisi od nivoa primene određenih koncepata zaštite životne sredine i štednje energije, jer su današnji gosti sve zahtevniji u tom pogledu. U ovom radu se razmatraju teorijski aspekti zelenog menadžmenta i zelenog brenda. Analiziraće se i primena pametnih materijala u projektovanju, izgradnji i rekonstrukciji zelenih hotelskih objekata.

Izgrađeni objekat je izvor znatnog dela zagađenja vazduha, vode i zemlje, kao i veliki proizvođač otpada. Hotelske zgrade, zbog svoje specifične i jedinstvene funkcije i drugačijeg obrasca funkcionisanja, imaju daleko veći ekološki udar od drugih komercijalnih zgrada slične veličine. S druge strane, razvoj turizma i hotelijerstva je dosta vezan za dostupnost čiste i zdrave životne sredine. Zato je za održivi rast i razvoj važno da se hoteli grade, ali i da funkcionišu, na način koji je najmanje štetan za okolinu, jer, ako je prirodna okolina važna za poslovanje hotela, onda njena zaštita znači i zaštitu tog poslovanja. Zbog potreba za smanjenom potrošnjom energije, i korišćenjem energije iz obnovljivih prirodnih resursa, projektovanje zelenih hotela se od procesa, koji su prvenstveno vodili arhitekte, pretvorilo u pristup u kojem multidisciplinarni stručni timovi treba da obezbede ekonomski opravdano, socijalno i funkcionalno prihvatljivo i pre svega energetski efikasno održivo rešenje, koje će da zadrži, pa čak i poveća nivo komfora gostiju hotela. Rezultat implementacije energetski efikasnih tehnologija i procesa su hoteli koji koštaju manje tokom eksploatacije, a koji su vredniji svojim korisnicima, tzv. inteligentni zeleni hoteli, koji predstavljaju optimalnu dinamičku reakciju na postojeće uslove iz okruženja sa razvijenom sposobnošću učenja sa ciljem optimalne upotrebe energije.

Analiziraće se, u skladu sa savremenim konceptom turističkog poslovanja, i efektivne prednosti savremenog načina upravljanja kao i brojne koristi sistema za upravljanje destinacijom (Destination Management Systems).

Energetska efikasnost u izgradnji novih zgrada je postala glavni cilj ka smanjenju upotrebe energije na nivou države. Efikasna i racionalna implementacija strategija i politika smanjenja emisije CO2 u zgradarstvu zahteva primenu modernih tehnologija i tehnika u gradnji koje imaju mogućnost da smanje potrošnju i gubitke energije, kako kod omotača zgrada (prozori, zidovi i dr.) tako i kod tehnologija grejanja i hlađenja. U ovom radu dat je pregled aktivnosti koje se mogu preduzeti u cilju povećanja energetske efikasnosti zgrada, kao i nove preporučene tehnologije za grejanje i hlađenje.

It also covers a review of the need for location-based services and methods of location acquisition, which include GPS, cell-stations, wireless access point and IP address based Geo-location lookup positioning. The paper covers a review of contemporary technologies for development of software systems based on location-based services and their use on smartphone devices. The presented implementation demonstrates an example of a GIS designed to provide venue information based on location information of Android operating system driven smartphones.

The conducted survey found that one of the three most commonly used formulae for the analysis of the site achieved the highest accuracy. The elements of the formula were inserted into PHP language and thereby determined which of the analysed formula gave the highest accuracy the distance between two points. Haversin formula, which is simple to use, and also showed satisfactory accuracy, has been translated into a SQL query where the query execution time was tested. In order to get the information about the location quickly, the query was expanded with a request to search for locations located in a predefined radius starting from the given coordinates. The results used to determine the most accurate location gained this way to may be used for the development of modern mobile phones applications.

The evolution of the World Wide Web, from Web 1.0, through Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 generation continues, and significantly affects the way consumers obtain information. On the other hand, tourism information systems support organisation’s business processes, and integrate supply chain systems with customer relationship management. Currently, there is a gap between the implemented systems and contemporary technologies thatn the new Web generation brings. This paper explores the impact of Web 3.0 technologies and services for tourism information systems.

U početku su bili svedeni, mahom, na pomaganje turistima u lociranju određenih atrakcija ili prilikom izbora hotela, da bi danas upotreba GIS-a u turizmu bila proširena i na marketing turističke destinacije i na analizu prometa turista. U ovom radu je dat pregled rezultata primene geografskih informacionih sistema u turizmu, sa naglaskom na primenu u marketingu turističke destinacije.
