Abstract

This study explores the establishment of intersectoral linkages between agriculture, hospitality, and tourism in the microregion of AP Vojvodina, Serbia, with a focus on developing a model that identifies the key factors for its effective implementation. For research purposes, the Delphi method, pilot testing, and advanced statistical techniques are used to validate the model. The Sustainable Intersectoral Linking Model in Agriculture, Hospitality, and Tourism (SILM-AHT) is developed, encompassing 37 indicators distributed across five factors: Sustainability, Education, Government Policy, Contribution of Farmers and Hospitality Providers, and Infrastructure. The SILM-AHT model can serve as a valuable tool for policymakers, enabling the monitoring and evaluation of sustainable development strategies. Its further practical application is recommended, along with the development of sustainable and well-coordinated activities and programs involving all the relevant stakeholders.
