Sanica region based in the north-west part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on relatively small area and it has potential for creation of complete and united tourist destination. Besides verything, Sanica region offers precondition for development of some neglected kinds of tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina: alpine/mountain tourism, rural tourism and adventure tourism (extreme sports tourism). Attractive characteristics, which generate development of tourism in Sanica region, can be divided into natural and social attractive characteristics. Geomorphologic and hydrogeographic variety, as well as many natural phenomenon, separate natural attractive characteristics above social ones. The most significant natural attractiveness in Sanica region are rivers: Sanica and Korčanica, lakes in Sanica, and mountain massif Grmeč with many geologic, geomorphologic, hydrologic and biologic monuments of the nature. Tourism is offering many posisibilities for the region whereas reasons for insufficient tourist valorization should be looked for, in bad traffic connection of the region; deficit of receptive and catering trade; and insufficient help of municipal, cantonal and state administration, insufficient tourist advertising of the region; lack of professionals in present situation. War events have negatively affected tourism and its proposals of the Herzegovina, and emphasising development of tourism could be one of the priority measures for rebuilding of the area.
