Abstract: The tourist assessment fo cultural possessions is of great significance in planning the development of the cultural tourism of a destination. It actually has to do with the assessment of their values and at the same time with examining the possibility to include cultural assets into the tourist development. They are in a unique way a reflection of a location, its lifestyle and surroundings, they promote the ethnic traditions of the destination and give opportunity for various events. There are about 150 protected fixed assets of culture on the territory of western Serbia. The observed area is enormous, the number of assets too and therefore 53 assets have been selected and divided into four groups. The first group is comprised of arheological sites, the second of areas and significant places, the third of the monastery and church inheritance and the fourth of individual cultural monuments. In addition to the classical assessment, Hillary du Cros method has been applied. The tourist assessment of monumental assets that has been carried out shows that these assets can be used for the tourist purpose, that they have market value, the tourist activities can take place without any distraction and their significance goes beyond that of the region.

Keywords: The region of NW Serbia, cultural tourism, tourist assessment, monuments of culture.
