AB  - The research deals with the sustainable development of the Serbian and Slovenian
countryside, under the influence of tourism progress. The article identifies the main rural tourism
competitiveness in Serbia and Slovenia, as one of the essential factors of rural development in both
countries, analyzing the main contributions and making a series of proposals to guide the future
research agenda. The aim of the paper is to clarify around one obviously defined objective—to point
out the competitiveness of sustainable rural tourism in typical post-socialist settings. The data for
this study were collected using the Integrated Model of Destination Competitiveness to observe
Serbian and Slovenian competitiveness in tourism. Determinants were assessed using a survey
evaluating four demanding factors and 20 supporting factors, based upon a five-point Likert Scale.
The results indicated that the friendliness of residents towards visitors, easy communication
between them, together with quality of infrastructure and health facilities show the highest level
of statistical correlation. These are the main propositions to start an initiative for the authorities in
local communities to actively participate in sustainable rural development. The findings provide
tourism stakeholders with relevant respondents’ perceptions pertaining to the tourism development
in non-urban areas.
