The Tisza river basin, mainly situated in the low land, covers of 157.220 square km, out of which 9.460 square km is in the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Artificially made meanders shortened the flow of the Tisza for 453 km, which contributed to its present length of 966 km. The Tisza flows in a 164 km long meandrous riverbed through Serbia. The Tisza is the largest of the Danube river tributaries, joining the Danube at its 1,214.5th river kilomer near Stari Slankamen (Serbia). Due to the wide scope of passive and active measures, undertaken with the aim to organize the water of the Tisza, the river system was significantly changes in comparison to the natural one. However, due to the prevailing natural conditions, first of all climate conditions, it could be established that in lower part of the Tisza, the highest water levels and flow rates occur in spring reaching their maximum values in April and the lowest occur in autumn, reaching minimum values in October. Navigation conditions on the river are improved to large extent by building dams on the Tisza and making hydro accumulations in upstream sectors. On Serbian part of the river flow the conditions are particularly good upstream the dam build near Novi Becej at 63th river kilometer. Firstly, the main predispositions for nautical tourism development in Serbian Potisje (Tisza river basin area) are good navigation conditions on the Tisza river, transit feature of this part of the flow, as well as numerous natural and cultural assets closer to or farther from riversides. The missing links, which leave nautical tourism in Serbian Potisje on very low level, are well equipped privare accommodation, generally higher level of services and well planned marketing activities.
