The fair is set to run through February 21.
This concerns "both in the number of participants and the number of countries our guests come from," the minister explained."Tourism received its rightful place in Serbia, thanks to policies pursued by the government. Last year, we were able to talk about tourism not just for the duration of the fair, but also all year round," Ljajic said.
Tourism Minister Ljajic pointed out that Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic was opening the Tourism Fair the second time, "a proof of the event's significance." Serbia will invest € 10 million in the Danube this year to arrange the infrastructure and make the river a part of regional tourism, the Serbian prime minister announced as he addressed the event.
"The priorities for this year will be investments in spa infrastructure, roads and mountain resort infrastructure – in particular on Mt. Stara Planina – and sprucing up the city centers and facades in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Nis to make them the best city break destinations," he said.
"We will invest in the Danube by the end of this year and in the beginning of the next, in particular in the sections from Apatin to Beska and from Smederevo to Kladovo," Vucic said, thanking Slovenia – a tourism powerhouse and a partner country of the fair – from which he said Serbia has still much to learn.
Tourism is one of the most significant economic sectors for Belgrade and it registered record revenues last year, Belgrade Mayor Sinisa Mali said, adding that the Serbian capital is among the top ten tourism destinations in the region.
Speaking at the opening of the fair, the mayor noted that Belgrade has been named one of the top three conference tourism destinations. "The goal is to break the records in the number of guests and tourism revenue this year," mayor Mali said, adding that there were 14 percent more tourists last year compared to 2014.
"There are reasons for optimism. There were 76 hotels in Belgrade in November 2014, while there are 89 today," Mali said, adding that one out of ten employees in Serbia works in the tourism sector.

Stadig flere nordmenn besøker Serbia, som i fjor tok imot hele 6000 norske turister – mye takket være Norwegians rute til hovedstaden Beograd, skriver Se og Hør.
I tillegg til storbyen Beograd har Serbia mye annet å by på – en blomstrende vinindustri, fargerik kultur, internasjonale festivaler, og ikke minst lave priser på mat, hoteller og shopping.
Beograd, hovedstaden i Serbia, er kjent som en spennende matby med høy standard og godt humør. Fra Serbias turistkontor har Se og Hør fått anbefalt tre restauranter som skal være svært bra på hvert sitt vis:
Lorenzo and Kakalamba sies å være kitschy, men med høy kvalitet på maten som beskrives som serbisk-italiensk gourmet.
Little Bay er innredet som et teater med balkonger og flotte lysekroner, og byr på “europeiske” retter, noe som jo kan være så mangt.
Restauranten Tri Sesira (“Tre Hatter”), etablert allerede i 1864, er en av Beograd aller eldste restauranter. Her er det tradisjonell serbisk mat som dominerer menyen, og det betyr i stor grad kjøtt og pølser, akkompagnert av serbiske folkesanger.
