Many creators from different scientific areas believe that we live in the times of postmodernism, which has touched all the pores of social life: art, culture, architecture, music, etc. In doing so, they are trying to describe the time in which we live, which also results in different definitions of postmodernism. It is no rarity that their views are often in conflict with each other. Nevertheless, regardless of all the differences that exist, one thing is certain: in modern conditions there are many attractions that, in addition to their basic purpose of existence, can be found in tourism.As tourism receives new dimensions at the beginning of the XXI century, in terms of changing its physiognomy from mass to individual, the question arises as to the possibilities of applying different postmodern attractions for tourist purposes? The answer to the question is not simple. On the one hand, there is a postmodern state, in which the critique of absolute truth, identity and traditionalism is dominant, while on the other hand, we have postmodern tourists, with different tastes, desires and demands. The aim of this paper is to try to show where their contact points are and what the future of tourism development is in this regard.

Abstract
In recent decades, from a global scale aspect, tourism demand is becoming more differentiated. On one hand, a preserved natural environment and clean air are demanded, while, on the other hand, a growing number of tourists want to travel and see cultural and historical heritage of the area in which they are spending their holiday. In order to compete in the world tourist market, an area must possess various and extensive resources. Therefore, new destinations that, above all, have a rich original tourist offer are required. Since Western Serbia has significant natural and anthropogenic resources, this paper explores its original tourist potential. In this sense, with the use of modern methodologies for evaluating the still untapped potential tourist area, this paper presents an approach to valorisation, both natural and anthropogenic resources of Western Serbia. The research aims, through this evaluation, to show how, in what way these resources can be placed in the function of tourism exploitation and greater involvement of Western Serbia in contemporary touristic trends.
