Gospojina event in Novi Becej attracted over 200,000 visitors last year. This year's event, which is held every year on the religious holiday Gospojina, will most likely break the record from the last year, so local authorities are considering boosting the accommodation capacity in this town in central Banat that aims to become an attractive tourist destination.
As eKapija was explained by Nemanja Vaskovic, the director of the Novi Becej Tourism Organization, this place in Banat hosts over 20 events during the year. During the summer, there is one event almost every weekend, meaning that the number of tourists looking for accommodation is on a rise.
- Camping tourism is characterized by a smaller number of overnight stays in one place. It is also known as transit tourism, so it may be one of the best solutions for tourists visiting these events. That is why we've decided to build a camp and boost the accommodation capacity of our town in that way - said Vaskovic, who is also the creator of new camp to be located on the very bank of the Tisa River.
One of the indications that this type of tourism has become an European trend is the information that Germany registers 32 million overnight stays in camps every year, and Novi Becej plans to have at least 1% of that number in the future. The Sustainable Development Strategy and the Comprehensive Zoning Plan call for the construction of camp in Novi Becej as well as a dock for tourist boats and an aqua park.
