Abstract: AP Vojvodina is a highly multi-ethnic community, with 29 nations and national or ethnic
groups living on its territory. Croats make only 2.43% of the population of Vojvodina, but with
their rich culture and tradition, they represent a significant potential for the development
of Vojvodina’s cultural tourism. The richness of customs is best represented through numerous
events that take place in areas with the majority of Croatian population. The paper presents
the results of a survey conducted to determine how informed the population of Vojvodina
is about the maintenance and significance of events of Croats in Vojvodina. A sample of 158
respondents was obtained. Descriptive statistical analysis, t-test of independent samples and
analysis of variance ANOVA were used to analyse the obtained data.
Keywords: Croats of Vojvodina, events, attitudes, local population, Vojvodina
