The article examines the issues of marketing in the business travel market. Suggested is the concept of domestic professional tourism. The author denotes the importance of inter-regional partnerships in developing successful sales channels for the tourist product. For the development of this partnership contacts with regions and twin cities can be intensified, which will give an opportunity to establish business, cultural and scientific relations. Noted that in the process of development of such cooperation it is important to determine the status of the region, which can enter into inter-regional contacts and as a consumer of the regional tourism product, and as a partner, having a kindred tourist specialization. The role of territorial marketing as a tool to implement the strategy of regional development is also highlighted. Analyzed are levels of the tourism product in the formation of prices of territorial tourism products. Disclosed is the basis of companies that create territorial tourism products. The author demonstrates problems with branding areas, as well as the role of economic methods and marketing tools in the formation of an integrated tourist product. It is concluded that a tourism and recreation area appears in several forms: firstly, it is a product that should be promoted on the wide and local markets of tourist services; secondly, it is an administrative unit (subject), operated according to federal, state and local laws; third, it is a geographical unit (space) and has a certain resource, economic and industrial potential; fourth, it is a place where not only tourists visit but the local population resides. The significance of Public Relations for the successful promotion of the territory is high especially in the form of public relations and propaganda by creating public opinion about a product, service, manufacturer, seller, or country.

The subject of this paper is the influence of anthropogenic factors on the state of erosion in the rural part of the municipality of Vozdovac. The aim of the research is the analysis of the influence of the local population on land resources, based on the past and present state of erosion and sediment production, the usage of land resources, as well as natural and mechanical population movements. The municipality of Vozdovac is one of the 17 municipalities in Belgrade area, which covers an area of 15,000 ha. The municipal territory includes both urban and rural parts (9216 ha). When it comes to how land resources are used, it is a characteristic example of erosion processes in the mountainous Belgrade area. This paper presents an analysis of the degree of erosion threat to agricultural land in the municipality of Vozdovac, including three periods (1971; 1988; 2012), where the method used is the erosion potential method by professor Gavrilovic. However, the calculation of sediment yield was made by the method of S. Gavrilovic. The analysis of demographic factors pointed to the influence of anthropogenic factors on the state of erosion. Mathematical methods were used - geometric and exponential progression for population projections in 2020 and 2030. The results of this study showed that the intensity of erosion in that area significantly decreased and that it has a tendency of further decline.

This study aims to analyze how the actions of a non-profit association from Portugal have impacted on development and promotion of social innovations. The literature review discusses origins, concepts and processes of this type of innovation, including criteria for evaluation of its results. The analyses were based on triangulation of semi-structured interviews, direct observation and documentary research data. Results show that, despite not being the focus of the association, actions towards the community quality of life enabled the development of processes and products regarded as social innovations. The main obstacles were financial dependence on state and local subsidies, ingrained habits and customs of the local population, and low levels of active participation from those involved in proposing innovative ideas. However, the association succeeded by relying on creativity, inspiration, engagement and support from its main leaders and on the alignment and support of its human resources in the implementation of strategy.
