For the case study is taken Srem District. Through the questionnaire, the views of local agricultural producers in Srem regarding the placement of their products were examined (who are their customers, whether the hotels/restaurants are interested in buying their products, whether they know how to sell their products to restaurants/hotels, there are some difficulties in such a sales chain (placement of goods), etc. In addition to the historical method, descriptive statistics (SPSS 17) have been used. The results of the survey provide an insight into the current situation and provide concrete guidelines for improving the cooperation of the tourism sector and the local community with positive multieffects to high number of stakeholders.
