DOPRINOS SEKTORA TURIZMA NEUTRALISANJU EKSTERNE NERAVNOTEŽE U ZEMLJAMA ZAPADNOG BALKANA
Sažetak
Izuzev doprinosa ekonomskom rastu i razvoju nacionalne ekonomije, sektor turizma može predstavljati važan faktor reduciranja platnobilansne neravnoteže. Zahvaljujući višem izvozu u poređenju sa uvozom turističkih usluga stvaraju se uslovi za ostvarenje suficita u razmeni turističkih usluga koji mogu biti značajan izvor finansiranja deficita tekućeg računa. Za zemlje Zapadnog Balkana ovo može biti posebno važno budući da se one odlikuju platnobilansnom neravnotežom, ali i ujedno poseduju značajne turističke potencijale koji se dodatno mogu valorizovati u cilju smanjenja deficita tekućeg računa i ublažavanja problema eksterne neravnoteže. Imajući navedeno u vidu, u radu se nastoji kvantifikovati doprinos sektora turizma u finansiranju deficita tekućeg računa zemalja Zapadnog Balkana u periodu 2007-2022. godina. Rezultati istraživanja sugerišu da značaj sektora turizma, kao faktora finansiranja platnobilansne neravnoteže, značajno varira među analiziranim ekonomijama, pri čemu je u svim posmatranim zemljama evidentiran pozitivan doprinos sektora turizma u neutralisanju deficita tekućeg računa. Izuzev navedenog, istraživanjem se nastoji ukazati da postoji značajan potencijal ne samo za razvoj turističkog potencijala u zemljama Zapadnog Balkana, već i za njegov izraženiji doprinos u reduciranju platnobilansne neravnoteže kao jednog od ključnih razvojnih ograničenja posmatranih privreda.
