Summary/Abstract: The impact of the global epidemic caused by the appearance and spread of the Covid19 virus has ledto strong effects on all human labor activities, of which tourism stands out, as the activity most affectedby the virus. Less than two years have passed since the outbreak of the epidemic, and tourism, as anactivity, has slowly begun to return to its pre-epidemic state since the complete collapse at the interstatelevel. This paper will analyze the impact of the current global epidemic on tourism in the Republic ofSerbia through the analysis of the sojourn tax in the period of 3 consecutive years from 2018 to 2020,while researching the attitudes of sampled respondents on tourist visits during the epidemic. The issueof the tourist tax and its positive and negative sides will also be considered. The main conclusion is thatthe revenues from the tourist tax in most local self-government units recorded a declining trend, whichin most cases was not significant, as a result of a good state strategy and encouragement of domestictourism during the global closure and crisis caused by the pandemic Covid19. Most of the total numberof respondents are satisfied with the level of tourist services in their home country and after thepandemic they will visit domestic tourist destinations more often.
