Abstract: Tourism as an activity of the future is the driving force of the rural and peripheral European regions development. Those areas are usually located near the geospatial borders of the countries and they are often considered as an ideal area for the promotion of different types of the tourism. Border area could become a tourist attraction if it has enough potential represented by specific and unique features which can attract many tourists and curious visitors. Only as such, the border area provides opportunities for the development of tourism types which are not based on massiveness, but on the individualization of the modern tourists needs. The aim of this paper was to identify the possibilities for tourism development in the border region Lower Danube in Serbia. Based on the detailed overview of this region, it was concluded that this area has significant advantages compared to the other tourist destinations located around the Serbian borders. Possibilities for regional development are predominantly reflected in the different types of the tourism - ecotourism, nature tourism, sport tourism, cultural tourism, etc. Nevertheless, identified potentials are still insuficiently used. In order to develop tourism and the region as a whole, precisely defined tourist product and comprehensive strategy is required. Also, some of the guidelines could be: stimulation of cross-border cooperation between the interested neighbour countries, implementation of measures for improving the educational structure of tourist workers in this area and encouragment of the public-private partnerships.
