Zelena evropska fondacija uz podršku platforme za teoriju i praksu društvenih dobara Zajedničko i uz finansijsku podršku Evropskog parlamenta i Zelene evropske fondacije, poziva vas na prezentaciju rezultata istraživanja i panel debatu o mogućnostima za prelazak na fer, održivi i ugljenično neutralni turizam. Prezentacija istraživanja i panel biće organizovani 4. novembra od 18h u prostorijama Kulturnog centra Grad – Braće Krsmanović 4.

Beograd je glavni i najveći grad Republike Srbije. Prema popisu stanovništva, domaćinstava i stanova 2011. u Srbiji, u Beogradu je živelo ukupno 1.659.440 stanovnika, što predstavlja 23,09% od ukupnog broja stanovnika Srbije. Kao bivši glavni grad Jugoslavije i jedan od najvećih gradova na Balkanskom poluostrvu, Beograd predstavlja i jedan od regionalnih centara. U poslednjih dvadesetak godina primetna je tendencija rasta broja turista koji iz različitih razloga posećuju Beograd. Upitno je koliko je ovaj rast broja turista bio održiv?

Sektor turizma jedan je od najpogođenijih merama uvedenim kako bi se suzbila globalna COVID-19 pandemija. Zatvaranje granica, smanjena mobilnost građana unutar države kao i ograničenje rada barova, hotela i restorana uticale su na to da se broj turista u Beogradu značajno smanji. Ovu situaciju ne treba sagledati kao isključvo nužno lošu, već i kao potencijalnu šansu da se nakon prestanka globalne pandemije turizam oporavi na održiviji način koji će biti značajno manje ugljenično i resursno intenzivan. Kako bi postao grad sa održivog turizma Beograd mora pre svega da postane održivi grad za svoje stalne stanovnike, a to znači da je neophodno rešavanje brojnih socio-ekonomsko-ekoloških problema.

About the Event:
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus significantly affected the number of tourists and overnight stays in Serbia, and tourism in Belgrade was particularly affected. The number of tourists in March 2020 in Belgrade decreased by 65.2% compared to March 2019, while in April 2020 the number of tourists decreased by 98.8% compared to April 2019; in May 2020, a reduced number of tourists was recorded compared to May 2019 with 95.7%.

The COVID-19 pandemic especially affected the number of foreign tourists who, due to the closure of state borders and prevention measures, did not come to Belgrade. After the mitigation of measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, an increase in the number of domestic tourists was noted in Serbia, but that recovery was limited in Belgrade, which was the main focal point of the infected in Serbia. In June 2020, the total number of tourists in Belgrade was 83.8% lower compared to June 2019, this trend continued in July with 88.2% and in August with 85.8% less tourists compared to the same months during 2019.

The almost complete shut down and uncertainty that emerged in the tourism and hospitality sector at the global and European level, as well as in Serbia and the city of Belgrade, left room for reflection on how to make the tourism sector more fair, sustainable and carbon neutral after the COVID-19 virus pandemic.

Context:
This event is part of the Green European Foundation’s Fair and Carbon Free Tourism transnational project. This project aims to identify and create conditions for collective action against the detrimental social and environmental impacts of tourism. In many countries, tourism is a generator of GDP and fully employed in a growth oriented consumerist economy. However, there is an underestimated environmental and social impact of tourism.
