Abstract: The potential impact of tourism on changes in demographic characteristics in the spas of Vojvodina
Changes and trends in the tourism market, coupled with the contemporary socio-economic context, have positioned modern spa tourism as an attractive sector for a broader population. This raises the question of the extent to which the development of spa tourism can influence changes in the demographic characteristics of populations within spa settlements. Tourism is frequently highlighted as a significant driver of revitalization of certain areas. Tourism development has the potential to increase population numbers and alter population structures, particularly in economic terms. This study identifies the primary changes in the demographic characteristics of spa populations. Concrete proposals have been presented for the next steps in tourism development within the spa settlements of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.
