Summary/Abstract: All the indicators about the development of tourism in Serbia so far point to the spa tourism as a chance that has been missed. If economic and social circumstances had been different, the majority of spas in Serbia would undoubtedly have found a place among the most attractive destinations in Europe in view of tourist demand and natural resources. As a spa with a long tradition, Niska Banja shared the destiny of Serbian spa tourism. Thermo-mineral springs and radon gas are primary natural resources of Niska Banja which are used as natural means in spa treatment and rehabilitation. However, tourist flow of Niska Banja is inadequately proportional to its natural resources. The authors point to the characteristics of the current and possible future tourism development.
