Abstract

 Zlatibor is a mountain in Serbia where a significant development of the tourist economy has been recorded with a constant increase in the number of visitors. This paper presents the bioclimatic and climatic conditions on this mountain that can have a significant impact on tourism development. The required information was obtained based on physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) and universal thermal index (UTCI). The presentation of climate and bioclimate information for tourism purposes was done using the Climate Tourism Transfer Information Scheme (CTIS). Weather facilities for recreational and tourist activities were calculated using the weather facilities index (WSI). The ultimate goal is a biometeorological informant with the help of which tourists will choose the most suitable moment for the realization of their post on the mountain Zlatibor. This information is also important for the tourism industry, which can direct its business planning based on this study.
