In recent years, Serbia has become increasingly popular as a tourism destination, attracting travelers from the surrounding region, as well as Europe and even distant locations. The environmental impact linked with tourism activities, specifically their carbon footprints, has gained growing attention as sustainability becomes an important factor when discussing the future of tourism. This research, which is based on the DEFRA and ADEME methodologies using the Greentripper tool, examines the significance of carbon footprint estimations for incoming tourism in Serbia from a scientific standpoint. By considering the emissions produced from transportation, accommodation, and on-site activities, the results of 1,431,394,511 kg CO2e offer valuable information about the extent of carbon emissions linked to tourism movements. The primary driver of this carbon footprint is transportation (80.2%), on-site activities (15.2%), and housing (4.6%). The per capita tourism carbon footprint is 670 kg CO2e, which is lower compared to the values derived using general data and carbon emissions on a worldwide basis, which amount to 759 kg CO2e. These findings are essential for comprehending the environmental sustainability of tourism operations. Furthermore, carbon footprint assessments play a crucial role as a tool for making informed decisions and implementing initiatives to reduce carbon emissions in the tourism business. This could involve selecting environmentally friendly modes of travel, advocating for sustainable hotel choices, or integrating carbon offsetting activities into vacation packages. In addition, carbon footprint assessments promote transparency and responsibility in the tourism industry.

Many studies have examined hunting satisfaction and identified factors that influence hunting tourism behaviour. However, the attractiveness of hunting tourism destinations requires further exploration, and its key dimensions need to be defined. This study used the Analytical Hierarchy Process to assess the attractiveness of hunting tourism destinations, aiming to understand the contribution of their key elements and dimensions to overall appeal. The goal was to contribute to the hunting tourism literature through an expert evaluation of what makes a hunting destination attractive. Hunting tourism experts (hunting managers, hunting outfitters, hunting enterprises, and academic scholars) were asked to select between various pairs of items (six factors and 32 attributes). The results show that at the first level of the hierarchy, the most important criterion of attractiveness is hunting tourism infrastructure. The findings indicate that the attractiveness of hunting destinations is influenced by natural resources but also by the functionality of the destination. According to hunting tourism experts, the main factors for an attractive hunting destination are quality of game populations, a well-maintained hunting lodge, and easy access to the site.
