Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the potentials of Golubac municipality for tourism development. In fulfilling the stated aim, the first step is to outline the position of Golubac municipality on the geographic and tourism map. This is followed by defining municipality’s environmental and anthropogenic tourism resources, focusing in particular on its climate, after which attention is turned to available accommodation facilities and tourist turnover. As regards the methodology used in the research, the statistical method has been employed to determine the weather conditions, tourism climate index (TCI) and water temperature regime of the Danube for the period 1991-2010. The same method has been used to calculate the number of accommodation facilities (units), tourists and overnight stays in Golubac municipality in the period 2009 – 2018, as well as the average length of stay, functionality index, occupancy rates, and functionality score. Other methods used are analysis and synthesis and the field method. Research results point to a conclusion that tourism potentials of Golubac municipality have not been fully realized and that the tourism industry has not been sufficiently developed in this municipality.
