Abstract
Dominance of the free time and free money as basic factors of tourism development is confirmed
by the synthesis of relevant economic and theoretical concepts and empirical studies, from the earliest, to
the modern stage of tourism. Both of these factors imply consumption as the main outcome of the economic
process. Also, these two factors as final objectives of the economic activity are characteristic only for the
individual. A human with all its characteristics - both positive and negative, has a crucial influence on
development of tourism. In order to confirm the set hypothesis, a research entitled "The impact of socio-demographic characteristics of the population to develop tourism in Serbia" has started. Theoretical
elaboration is dominant in the research results according to the defined purpose of the research. During the
research process and results, the following methods were used: Likert Scale, T-test, ANOVA, Pearson
correlation coefficient, Logistic regression and Multiple regression
