HUSUKIC, Alen

At a time when BiH is on the one of the lowest levels of development in Europe, and when most of economy sectors are undeveloped, it is very hard to say what should be considered as starter of economic development. But I decided to consider tourism sector as a field that could contribute the most, and as a field that has biggest chances and opportunities to increase economic well-being of people in BiH. My research is going to be set of data which proves and defends statement that tourism is sector it can be most useful for BiH economy. If the plan for tourism development is carried out systematically it could make rapid economic growth, with the long-term and sustainable development.Data will be collected by doing surveys and questionnaires, and then analyzed. Most of the analyses will be done in SPSS program, but also some secondary data will be used to get conclusions needed for the research. Work will be divided into three parts. In the first one, present situation in BiH tourism will be subject of analysis. Advantages and disadvantages of BiH tourism will be shown, and we will see which parts should be changed or developed the most. Second part is going to be cooperation of tourism sector with some other economic sectors in BiH economy. In this part, last 15 years, period after the war will be analyzed and actual and potential growth will be presented. The third part is core of this research, where we will make some conclusions, explain and analyze possible strategies for development, and see what is possible to do, or what shouldn’t be object of interest. Key words: Economy progress, tourism sector, sustainable development
