Melnikova, Tatyana, and Igor Shevchuk. "Tourism in a region: new development opportunities." Socium i vlast 5 (2020): 65–77. http://dx.doi.org/10.22394/1996-0522-2020-5-65-77.
Abstract:
Introduction. Modern times are characterized by independence from financial support for travel due to introducing an ordinary region with its daily surrounding into tourist circulation, focusing not on distance, but on the depth of emotions when choosing a place to visit. The aim of the study is to assess the factors of transforming the tourist environment in a region, which might result in a number of challenges for managing the regional development. Methods. In the framework of the study, both general logical methods and empirical methods are used. In particular, the analysis of approaches to managing a tourist region in the post-tourism era, as well as new tourist practices are based on classification and periodization. When choosing the factors of the tourist region new format, the case method and comparison were applied. The scientific novelty of the study. The authors substantiate that the new era will be determined by changes in the labor–leisure ratio, new tourist practices and new tourist region format. The new tourist region format involves a transition to understanding the tourist as a temporary resident of the region and actualizes the need for coexistence. Results. The state of post-tourism for such a region may be due to the emergence of new residentsowners of second homes and business migrants, as well as the social effect of deliberate tourism practices. The competition of such regions is based on intangible resources. The factors of transforming the tourist environment made it possible to give a new look at assessing the effectiveness of an event for the territory. The authors propose threshold values that will allow making decisions on the co-financing of the event from the regional or local budget. Conclusions. Hybridization of tourism and leisure does not provide a complete answer about a possible reduction in work hours, however, indicates a short-term leisure mobility of individuals. New tourism practices are based on awareness and desire to increase self-efficacy. Such transformations open up new opportunities for the territory development.

"New Practices of Tourism Industry as Effects of Development of the Agricultural Land Market." Journal of Environmental Management and Tourism 13, no. 8 (December 31, 2022): 2348. http://dx.doi.org/10.14505/jemt.v13.8(64).26.
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to identify and analyze new practice of the tourism industry which are in deep relation with the agricultural land market. The development of the agricultural land market causes an intensification of its role in the tourism industry, contributing also to the enhancement of other tourism sub-sectors, such as eco-agricultural tourism, rural tourism, eco-tourism, forest tourism industry, so it is a good reason to boost the need to establish a positive relationship between these two different types of land use. The tourism industry provides 10% of the turnover of the production and service market of the planet through the national product, investments, consumer spending, tax revenues and the organization of new jobs. This is facilitated by natural resources of each country, their hospitality, cultural and ethnic diversity, their individual tourist infrastructure with their burden of change and improvement within each country. Kazakhstan is rich in natural resources, has huge agricultural areas with a full range of agricultural destinations but also for other kind of activities which that can generate income, such are tourism activities

Pieroni, Raphaël, and Patrick James Naef. "Exploring new frontiers? “Neo-slumming” and gentrification as a tourism resource." International Journal of Tourism Cities 5, no. 3 (November 29, 2019): 338–53. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/ijtc-01-2018-0008.
Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse urban transformation as a tourism resource. Tourism is undeniably a powerful motor for urban transformation but in return, urban transformation can represent a resource for actors related to tourism. More precisely this paper focuses on one major transformation of modern cities: gentrification. Design/methodology/approach The central hypothesis of this paper is that gentrification accompanies tourism, but that gentrification itself may also become an object of the tourist gaze. The paper focuses on local guides and small touristic entrepreneurs in order to identify the tensions that might arise. The presentation of two guided tours – “Subculture Brixton Nightlife Tour” and “Where Brooklyn At?” – will enable us to explore how the gentrification of Brixton (London) and Brooklyn (New York) may be used as a tourism resource for local private entrepreneurs. Findings Results presented here are based on ethnographic methods such as observation as well as content analysis and semi-directive interviews. Mobilising the historical concept of “slumming”, this paper proposes an extended conceptual framework, “neo-slumming”, to analyse evolving tourism practices in modern cities, practices that are considered here as tourism’s new frontiers. Originality/value However, as tourism transforms cities, the process itself is now of interest to tourists and thus becomes a resource for sector businesses (Naef, 2018). Yet studies about the touristification of urban transformation are still quite rare. This analysis aims to fill this gap by looking at the way a process, such as some spectacular, rapid or radical transformation of the urban fabric, can become a touristic resource associated with specific narratives and representations. In this context, the tourist gaze (Urry, 2002) is directed on a resource characterised by its ongoing change.

Abstract:
The authors focus on the rise of adventure tourism in New Zealand and suggest that the growth of adventure-tourism attractions is related to important transformations in the sociocultural geographies of the places concerned. Three issues are addressed: first, the increasing importance of adventure-tourism facilities, practices, and subcultures, which have interconnected with the social spatialisation of places and landscapes; second, the ways in which adventure tourism transcends the metaphor of the tourist ‘gaze’, and suggests attention to the embodiment of tourist practice; and third, the implications for an understanding of nature—society relations inherent in representational texts used to advertise adventure tourism.

Abstract:
Purpose This study aims to raises the question of the potential impact of posthumanism, a stream in contemporary postmodernist philosophy, on current tourism practices and tourism studies. The author discusses its denial of some basic positions of enlightenment humanism: human exceptionalism, anthropocentrism and transcendentalism. The author then seeks to infer the implications of posthumanist thought for the basic concepts and categorical distinctions on which modern tourism and modernist tourist studies are based.

The author then discusses some inconsistencies in posthumanist philosophy, which stand in the way of its applicability to touristic practices, and end up with an appraisal of the significance of posthumanism for tourism studies. Findings The author pays specific attention to the implications of the effort of posthumanism to erase the human-animal divide for tourist-animal interaction, and of the possible impact of the adoption of posthumanist practices on the tourist industry and the ecological balance of wilderness areas. The author then discusses some inconsistencies in posthumanist philosophy, which stand in the way of its applicability to touristic practices, and end up with a brief appraisal of the significance of posthumanism for tourism studies. Originality/value This is the first attempt to confront tourism studies with the radical implications of posthumanist thought. It will hopefully open a new line of discourse in the field.

Abstract:
Tourism is a central theme in theatre production in Mallorca today. This article analyses a corpus of twelve theatre plays that draw on different formats, ranging from drama text to interactive performances in the public space, to explore the importance of tourism in the redefinition of local culture. The purpose of this article is to analyse how these productions deal with the consensus on an idea of collective heritage, the construction of an identity interfered with by tourist culture, and the representation of a new model of political agency promoted by both environmental activists and artistic creators. On a more metatheoretical level, this article aims to contribute to shaping Catalan cultural studies as an academic and interdisciplinary field more observant of the geopolitics of the region and the local effects of global dynamics, such as those caused by tourism.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the settings, conditions, and practices of tourism policy through descriptive and analytical methods. One important area of Nepali public policy is tourism. Government is the body responsible for developing, implementing, and gathering feedback on new and updated tourist policies. One of the key components of tourism is the private sector. The distinction is that while the private sector develops its plans for profit maximization, government formulates tourist policy, which is also a matter of public policy. Therefore, tourist policy is a service-oriented policy; a significant amount of input from many sources is a prerequisite for tourism policy. This article explores the conditions and policy practices in the tourist sector using secondary data. Tourists might experience pleasure in Nepal, which is a mysterious location. A more legal structure is required for managing unusual objects.

Abstract:
Shopping tourism has become one of the main economic motivators for tourism development in several destinations. “Shopping means entertainment and experience. Regardless of trip purpose –business, family or vacation—shopping is woven into the human interactions of the visit.” It means exploring and discovering and could be about the planned or temporary consumption. Shopping became gradually more significant element of the tourism “value chain”. Shopping has improved into a contributing factor determining tourism destination selection, a vital element of the total tourist knowledge and, sometimes, the major tourism incentive. Destinations have consequently an enormous chance to influence this innovative “market trend” by increasing realistic and exclusive shopping experiences that enhance value to their tourist deal while strengthening, and even, outlining their tourism brand and planning. This research suggests that there are increasing numbers of tourists who are travelling to Dubai with the aim of shopping, not only because they are encouraged by a mixture of first-class shopping, reasonable costs, trustworthy deals, Duty-free and a variation of rate or goods related aspects, but the charm of the destination certainly creates decision when selecting a destination. This study provides an outline of the significance and up-to-date types of shopping tourism, principally in the emerging market of Dubai, offering recommendations to support Egypt as a central tourist destination to stimulate the inbound shopping tourism. This research first examines relevant literature on possibility to develop this tourism type in Egypt and make it one of the tourist attractions by comparing it to Dubai, UAE as a shopping destination. The study explores the objectives, and factors affecting the progress of that type in Egypt and the improvements made in Dubai. The research then investigates potentialities of developing that type in Egypt and its impacts on improving the tourist experience in Egypt and increasing the tourist flow into Egypt. Results indicated that shopping tourism could face several obstacles in practical performance, but it could be very helpful in supporting the tourism industry in Egypt especially at the time of deterioration. However, shopping tourism can also offer incentives to the tourism employees who have almost lost their jobs and may change their career. Benefits are not only confined to this, but also extended to cover enhancing existing tourism types and introducing new ones as well as enhancing the tourist numbers and their average expenditure. The Research provides recommendations for actions that could encourage more tourists to visit Egypt as a shopping destination.Keywords: shopping, Dubai, purchasing, goods, products.

Abstract:
Dubrovnik-Neretva County, renowned for the City of Dubrovnik, grapples with tourism challenges affecting its UNESCO-listed Old City. This study advocates for promoting less-explored inland areas to ease the strain on the heritage site and alleviate coastal tourist pressure. By diversifying tourism and supporting sustainable rural development, the region can spur economic growth, foster local businesses, and improve infrastructure through EU and national funding. The research explores financial investments in less-developed areas, emphasizing sustainable tourism practices for socio-economic and environmental benefits. The analysis highlights the project’s positive impact on sustainable tourism development inland, preserving natural heritage, and fostering economic benefits for local communities. According to the cost–benefit analysis, the proposed idea outperforms all alternatives with new attractions and enhanced infrastructure, contributing to overall municipal growth. External funding is crucial for viability, with a negative net income until 2040, offset by municipal support. Economic indicators justify social and economic benefits, emphasizing project resilience. The active tourism centre project, emphasizing eco-friendly outdoor activities, highlights the role of cost–benefit analysis in rural tourism infrastructure investment, recommending external funding for success.

Abstract:
Purpose Despite the increasing academic interest for urban ruins and evolutions of urban tourism, research on ruin tourism as an emergent form of urban tourism practice is still lacking. Drawing on existing works on urban exploration, the purpose of this paper is to provide a first geographical insight into ruin tourism and its spatial implications in terms of imaginaries, practices and regulation of urban space. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on an urban and cultural geography approach, the research is based on a mix of empirical methodologies. Participant observation of organized ruin tours as well as formal and informal interviews with participants, organizers, institutional actors and inhabitants have been conducted during fieldwork completed in Berlin and Detroit. This paper also draws on the analysis of additional data provided by online material, especially official websites of tour organizers, forum threads and comments posted on different websites. Findings The research shows that ruin tourism can be analyzed as a new practice of urban tourism based on the reappropriation and commodification of alternative practices developing in marginalized urban areas. The paper provides evidence of ruin tourism’s contribution to the normalization of urban space through tourism conquest of new urban territories. It also shows that the practice fosters contested material and symbolic appropriations of place. Originality/value This paper contributes to current research on alternative tourism practices in marginalized urban areas as well as on tourist appropriation of liminal spaces. It provides a first analysis of ruin tourism and underscores its potential as a geographical object for the investigation of a wide range of urban issues.

Abstract:
The article reveals the essence of the development of a strategic partnership based on the creation of an innovative business model for the post-war development of the tourism industry in Ukraine. A number of factors were identified that had a negative impact on the state of tourism in Ukraine during the war. It was established that the development and further implementation of an innovative business model of the post-war development of the tourism industry on the basis of strategic partnership practices will help to form a strategy for the development of the tourism industry in Ukraine on an innovative basis to restore the potential of the tourism industry in Ukraine and achieve its competitive advantages. It has been proven that in order to develop a strategic partnership based on the creation of an innovative business model of the post-war development of the tourism industry in Ukraine, it is necessary to conduct a detailed analysis of the existing methodological and methodical support for the factors of the development of the tourism industry of Ukraine, to analyze the world experience and best practices in the field of the tourism industry. It was found that the result of the development and further implementation of the innovative business model of the post-war development of the tourism industry on the basis of strategic partnership practices is the improvement of the strategy for the development of the tourism industry in Ukraine on an innovative basis, which, in turn, contributes to the restoration of the potential of the tourism industry in Ukraine and the achievement of its competitive advantages in the international arena. There will also be further recommendations on the practical use of advanced information technologies in the provision of hotel services and the development of new tourist services, focused on the creation of new tourist products, new methods of customer service and pricing policy. It was determined that the priority goal of creating an innovative business model for the post-war development of the tourism industry in Ukraine is: substantiation of directions for the strategic development of tourism in Ukraine; solving tasks related to the recovery and development of the tourism industry at the stage of post-war recovery; introduction of advanced information technologies, development and development of new tourist products in the tourism industry of Ukraine. An algorithm for the development of scientific-methodical and organizational foundations of Ukraine's strategic partnership in the post-war period through the implementation of an innovative business model for the development of the tourism industry is proposed.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the key determinants of sustainability practices and policy adoption in small- and medium-sized tourism accommodation firms and its possible impact on the firm’s competitive advantages. Design/methodology/approach A combined model has been developed and tested with a set of relevant hypotheses based on primary data collected from tourism firm’s owners and personnel. Structural equation modeling has been used to test and validate the hypotheses. Findings The key results indicate that collaboration and innovation of tourism firms, employee culture, technological infrastructure, tourism intermediary’s sustainability practices and top management support have a significant impact on sustainability practices adoption, whereas government sustainable tourism policy and local’s attitude toward sustainability have an insignificant impact. Practical implications The findings assist managers and owners of tourism accommodation firms to re-address their policy and operational processes toward sustainability. This study is an endeavor to bridge the knowledge gap of current literature on sustainable practice adoption and tourism accommodation firm. This would be ensured through encouraging the economic aspect of sustainability practices and also facilitate social well-being, which is a real contribution that ought to practice to other countries where the tourist area is environmentally adverse tremendous. Social implications Considering sustainability is a social commitment, this study positively changes tourists’ behavioral approach reducing the undesirable use of social resources and maximizing the enduring socio-economic and environmental development for social well-being. Originality/value The novelty of this empirical study is that sustainability practices and policies adoption is entirely a new phenomenon. However, the mediating impact of the construct on the competitive advantage of small and medium tourism accommodation firms enhances the effectiveness of emerging tourism economy.

Abstract:
Community-Based Tourism (CBT) has become a new trend for local-based development. However, many villages have not developed this potentiality as a new commodity as a tourism-based community. For this reason, this article explains three important elements in the development of community-based tourism in the Sekapuk Village community, Gresik Regency, East Java, namely following the potential, participation, and development of Setigi tourism. This research highlights three critical issues concerning i) how the role of local communities in maximizing village potential, ii) how Community-Based Tourism practices work effectively in increasing community social awareness, and iii) how communities build new tourist destinations. The research method using observation in Setigi tourism, interviews with village leaders, managers of Tourism Awareness Group/Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis), local traders, and visitors. The indication of community has built Setigi tourist destinations by utilizing the potential of nature. Meanwhile, CBT is implemented in environmental conservation, tourism training, accessibility of transformation, and the development of communication systems. Setigi tourism is built based on social participation, which results in nature-based tourism destinations, the development of the Mbok Inggih kitchen, and the home industry. As a successful tourist village development, the village has achieved the icon of the Millionaire Village. Nevertheless, in the end, Setigi tourism still has limitations in optimizing the socio-cultural and socio-religious potential.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the emerging practices of the “tourism of the ordinary” in the wider frame of post-socialist transformation of Serbia’s capital city – Belgrade. By sourcing the inspiration in cultural studies and classics of the studies of the ordinary, focus is directed to the patterns of tourism consumption of practices, places and people that do not fall in the category of tourism attraction. The attention is drawn to New Belgrade (Novi Beograd in Serbian), residential part of Belgrade built predominantly after the Second World War. New Belgrade lacks proper tourism infrastructure, commoditized attractions and consumerable tourism experiences on a large scale. Nevertheless, this part of the city is slowly becoming explored by tourists individually or in organized walking or cycling tours. Visits to New Belgrade are most often connected to alternative or hip visitors and have the allure of both urban exploration and cultural practice, as the tours are offered by specialist architectural organizations or individual guides. By introspecting the case of New Belgrade, this paper attempts to address the prospect that ordinary exist only in relation to the attraction and that its appeal comes from the fact that what is ordinary to someone is attraction to another. Design/methodology/approach As far as specific approach is concerned, some archival and librarian materials have been analyzed in order to map the territory that is being researched (New Belgrade) and to frame the significance of potential heritagisation (Harrison, 2013) on the built environment and its territory. Further, relevant websites and both primary and secondary resources have been consulted. This mostly refers to the websites of Tourist Organization of Belgrade (TOB) and the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Belgrade as two most relevant bodies connecting the urban fabric of the city and its tourism valorization. Findings In this paper, the authors have tried to demonstrate how tourism of the ordinary might be conducted in urban environment that lacks no tangible resources, whose physical physiognomies are not insignificant and which, in another, alternative tourism regime might be considered attractions. However, in the specific set of characteristics spanning from contested past to ambiguous contemporary valorization, New Belgrade remains an uncharted part of the city for much of the mainstream tourism, leaving its charms for very few visitors, most often engaged in interest of the “ordinary.” Originality/value Although Belgrade is experiencing steady rise in numbers regarding tourist arrivals, length of stay and on-site expenditure, New Belgrade is nowhere to be seen on the map of tourism offer, as per Belgrade’s Tourism Organization. TOB’s official web page, at the time this piece is written, in the section Attractions, mentions nothing regarding New Belgrade. Among 13 entries – 12 are historic sites of more than a century behind them and one is a lake and outdoor destination.

Abstract:
Purpose – Providing a new approach to the destination management oriented on the social responsibility and keeping the interests of local community at the forefront of tourism development. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Key concepts from systems theory, stakeholder management and social enterprises theories are rethought from the perspective of tourist destination. Main characteristics of the model of community-based organisational structure are identified as well as demands for socially responsible practices and a case study method is used for holistic and in-depth analysis on a real community-based tourism enterprise (CBTE). Findings – The paper proposed innovative socially responsible organisational business model aiming to serve the interests of local community. Interlinking the economic and social objectives in managing the tourist offer on destination level is the critical issue when cooperation of various stakeholders is concerned. Originality/value – The paper provides new insight on organising the tourism offer in the destination by using CBTE model. Findings might give impetus for new lines of research oriented on socially sustainable organisational models for responsible destinations. Recommendations suggested by the paper can be used in designing new destination management organisations oriented on developing community-based tourism practices in socially responsible manner.

In this respect, tourism as a sector of global economic and social importance is aware of the need to implement innovative practices in all tourism activities. International tourism market show specific changes in the actual and potential tourist behavior. These changes are significant and affect all of the participants in the process of formation and realization of the tourism products, producers and distributors. The main goal is connected with the achieving of a more personal experience, inner satisfaction and maximum recovery as expression of the global contemporary trends in the tourism business. In a more dynamic competitive environment, participants in the tourism market must increasingly rely on the implementation and use of innovative technologies that improve management, organizational structure, economic policy and contributing for the success of the tourism companies.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the new technologies offer new capabilities for the tourism industry. New disruptive innovations have appeared forcing the tourism companies to adjust to the new changes and challenges. Disruption in the tourism industry is currently happening and is overthrowing the status quo. Airbnb, TripAdvisor, Expedia and Booking.com are four of the most influential tourist companies. They leverage demand-side economies of scale by scaling up the customer acquisition and providing a great user experience. Their primary business requirement is the ability to respond to new, unforeseen or unpredictable business requirements and customer demands, in order the willingness to embrace disruption to be achieved. Their reorganization of the allocation of demand and supply leads to a disruption of tourist markets, particularly those that were formerly monopolised. This study examines the best practices in the business models of four digital disruptive intermediaries (DDIs) in the tourism industry through two different methods: SWOT Analysis and PESTEL Analysis.

Abstract:
Abstract. The integration of Ukraine into the international tourism space requires the training of future specialists in the field of tourism who are ready to work in the conditions of a digital society on the basis of intercultural dialogue. In this context, the problem of forming their cultural experience on the ground of intercultural communicative interaction with observance of network principles is actualized. The purpose of the article is to study new forms of culture of the electronic type, to analyse the possibilities of introducing digital technologies in the process of forming the cultural experience of future specialists in the sphere of tourism. Research methods were used to achieve the defined goal: system-structural method; abstract-logical; statistical methods; modelling method. Results. Deep structural transformations in the tourism industry are accelerating the pace of transformations of individual and collective cultural practices in which computer visualization is used. It is about the introduction of innovative forms of digital transformation, new Internet technologies, and the construction of cultural practices of spatial mobility into the process of forming the future tourism specialists` cultural experience. Cultural experience involves the creation of effective ways of interacting with the audience using digital means and the implementation of them in the process of professional training. As a result, the hierarchy of values of modern travel in virtual space is changing; new configurations of tourism with elements of digital culture are being formed. The personalization of tourist behaviour models for future specialists in the field of tourism is realized thanks to electronic resources, elements of remote technologies, multimedia equipment that function in the educational environment (MOODLE). Conclusions. The formation of the future tourism specialists` cultural experience in the conditions of the digital society takes place under the conditions of virtual reality of the 21st century, which changes the models of tourist behaviour, makes corrections in individual and collective cultural tourism practices.

Abstract:
This article explores why and how youth can build community bonds in the new era of rural development in Indonesia that produces local works in the form of tourist sales products. This article uses qualitative methods through a case study approach. The research was conducted in Balkondes Wringin Putih. Starting from individual unrest into community bonds that produce youth solidity, the village succeeded in developing tourist destinations in special economic areas based on tourism. When tourism development programs become the country’s priority, youth through the provision of village tour packages can create new jobs and increase rural economic productivity. The community ties and administration in the village’s growth, resulting from the ruralization process, are contextualised in the macro-political structure of the new age of Indonesian rural development, in fact, able to develop youth-based economic resilience. As empirical research to understand the development of new rural tourism, this study learns from the practices in Balkondes about a relational view of the ever-changing mechanisms of community bonding in the modern world.

Abstract:
The war in Ukraine, the closure of airspace and drastic changes in demand affected the marketing, advertising, eventing and logistics of tour operators. In this regard, the segment of bus tours, which allow tour operators to avoid logistical problems, is actively developing. Entry into the niche of bus tours by new competitors presupposes the active use of marketing tools by all market participants. Marketing in the segment of bus tours is changing radically under the influence of the recent pandemic and quarantine restrictions, the war in Ukraine, the economic crisis, the active implementation of information technologies and digitalization, the emergence of new generations of consumers, environmental activities and other factors. Theoretical aspects of bus tourism marketing are developed and practices of using marketing tools by tourist operators of the bus tour segment in the crisis state of the domestic tourist market are generalized in this article. The essence, goals and objectives of marketing activity in the field of organized bus tourism are considered. The concept, specifics and types of bus tourism are described. It is proposed to understand bus tours as trips of organized groups of tourists on their own or rented buses of tourist operators along a certain route and a formed excursion program. Factors affecting the development of bus tourism and tourist demand for bus tours are noted. The marketing practice of domestic tourist operators in the «bus tours» segment is summarized and it is concluded that they understand the threats and modern challenges, therefore they actively use marketing tools to successfully compete and maintain their market share. The considered practices of marketing activity form cases for players of the tourism market to adapt their offer to modern realities related to the crisis state of the domestic tourism market caused by the war, a decrease in demand, population migration, the change of generations of consumers and demonstrate experience in using new communication channels, tools of sustainable tourism, etc.

Abstract:
The study holds significance as it has the potential to establish sustainable and inclusive tourism practices in Pakistan, simultaneously promoting economic growth and addressing the requirements of marginalized communities. This study tried to explore the hidden tourist attractions for pro-poor tourism development in Pakistan and specifically studied the tourist attractions of Khushab district. Focus group discussion method have been used to collect information from the respective area. Moreover, the study tried to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the tourism industry to make Khushab district as one of the good tourist attraction points of Pakistan. The study reveals that the travel industry faces challenges in various areas, including limited advertising efforts, inadequate infrastructure, and inadequate transportation. Stakeholders suggest the need for improved facilities, particularly for women and children, and the need for redesigning and examining significant structures and locations. They also advocate for liberal government approaches to support local and global investments, land acquisition, and promoting new ventures. Governments are increasingly focusing on promoting and promoting the travel industry, but a proper physical and restricted system is crucial for its growth.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the consideration of the main challenges in the world that faced the process of forming the theory of tourism. Historical genesis testifies that tourist practices take their beginning in ancient times. They present themselves as a “traveling” as the practice of opening new countries, new “lands”. And therefore, there is no random characteristic of man-nomad, a person who opens new worlds of life, enriching himself, his outlook, entering a dialogue with another: world, society, culture, etc. To date, genesis (grenesis) – origin, occurrence; The process of creating and becoming tourism is the use of innovations that positively affect not only the process of promotion, sale of a tourist product or providing tourism services, but also on the country’s economy as a whole. The main stages and trends in the development of tourism science are analyzed, the study of the prerequisites for the emergence of the theory of tourism and the definition of its place in the system of scientific knowledge about tourism. Panelizovano versions of the concepts “Tourism”, “Tourismoznazvasty”, “Tourismology”. It is determined that tourism is not a separate science, but a scientific interdisciplinary field or a set of general and applied sciences about tourism and tourism. Modern tourism is one of the leading and most dynamic areas of the world economy, thanks to which facilities and infrastructure are developed taking into account local cultural, political and historical traditions. It is concluded that due to tourism in the modern world, intercultural communication is becoming possible on a global scale. However, tourism represents life in a diversity of his diversity, concentrating on a short period of time, characterized by certain goals and the thickness of their advance. At the present stage of the development of the tourism industry, scientific comprehension of tourismology, the formation of the theory of tourism and modern “tourist consciousness”, subjects of tourist process – an urgent need for time. The correctly created image of a tourist firm, its product, increases its need for a modern tourist market.

Abstract:
Tourism is a multifaceted phenomenon that has undergone significant evolution over time, transitioning from traditional mass tourism models to more diversified and sustainable approaches. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of tourism's evolution and its global influence on new era dynamics, drawing on a diverse range of literature and research findings. The study examines key drivers, trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the contemporary tourism landscape, with a focus on the transition from conventional to innovative practices. The analysis reveals a gradual shift towards innovative tourism models that prioritize authenticity, sustainability, and personalized experiences, driven by changing consumer preferences, technological advancements, and global socio-economic trends. This evolution has profound implications for new era dynamics at the global level, including increased connectivity, cross-cultural exchange, and economic growth, but also challenges such as over tourism, environmental degradation, and socio-cultural tensions. To address these challenges and capitalize on opportunities, stakeholders in the tourism industry are urged to embrace innovation, sustainability, and collaboration as guiding principles for future development. Recommendations include promoting sustainable tourism practices, addressing over tourism through destination management, fostering collaboration and stakeholder engagement, and investing in capacity building and education. By adopting a holistic approach to tourism development that balances economic, environmental, and social considerations, stakeholders can navigate the complexities of the tourism landscape and chart a course towards a more sustainable and inclusive future. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics shaping the tourism industry and provide valuable insights for policymakers, industry practitioners, researchers, and other stakeholders seeking to harness the transformative power of tourism for positive impacts on people, planet, and prosperity.

Abstract:
Writing in 1997, Britain's leading historian of tourism John K. Walton lamented that ‘tourism has not been accepted into the charmed circle of acceptable themes in European history’. While it would be premature to suggest that tourism has now been welcomed into this select inner circle on equal terms with more traditional fields of research, there is nevertheless much for historians of tourism to be positive about. Over the course of the last two decades, a growing body of scholarship has demonstrated not only that tourism needs to be taken seriously as a factor that shaped the modern world but also that the study of tourist practices has the potential to shed new light on seemingly familiar historical issues and debates. The complex range of factors that have enabled and hindered tourism's rise towards respectability within historical studies have been discussed in detail elsewhere by prominent exponents of the genre and will not be reiterated here. However, three flourishing and interconnected fields of historical inquiry, to which historians of tourism are making valuable contributions, deserve particular mention. Each of the works discussed below can be situated broadly within these three historiographical trends.

Abstract:
PurposeThis paper aims to examine the direct intervention of university researchers in tourism practices in Hokkaido, Japan. The overall objective is the further understanding into the potential value of research-based evidence and scientific knowledge in tourism destination management. The paper articulates how the outcomes of structured knowledge creation were able to fundamentally change the long-held presumptions of local stakeholders about their destination, and the paper also examines how this knowledge was used to aid decision-making and the formulation of new tourism strategies.Design/methodology/approachThrough an action research approach, data were collected by direct participation and interviews and then qualitatively analyzed.FindingsThe results clearly depict that the key factors for making destination management workable and sustainable are related to academic researchers’ direct intervention in tourism practices.Originality/valueThis paper has filled a gap in existing scholarship where empirical understanding from first-hand experiences has lacked around the important role that scientific knowledge or evidence-based research can play in enhancing decision-making in collaborative initiatives aiming to develop local tourism resources. The importance of the scientific approach and evidence-based decision-making is gaining increasing recognition in tourist destination development and management. This points to an important opportunity for academic researchers to contribute to the realization of sustainable tourist practices.

Abstract:
The development of tourism has a negative impact on the environment of new management practices in the tourism industry, namely tourism villages. Tourism villages are also a form of implementing sustainable development goals. As one of the tourist villages in West Manggarai Regency, Wae Lolos Village must be able to be managed into a tourism village that is following the goals of sustainable development, so it is essential to manage a tourist village that understands the management of a tourist village under the goals of sustainable development. There are public lectures, pre-and post-tests, and self assessment using the global sustainable tourism council criteria in community service activities—Results of increasing mean value between the pre-test and post-test indicate the understanding of sustainable development goals. In addition, based on the GSTC aspect of the destination category, the aspect of governance is the aspect that has the most percentage of met criteria, but environmental aspects are the aspects that have presentation criteria. Wae Lolos Village uses the GSTC criteria as a measuring tool for monitoring and evaluating the performance of tourism villages.

Abstract:
This article presents a research carried out in 2016 within the framework of a Master’s degree in geography at the University of Savoie Mont Blanc, which focused on the concept of tourist image of the lakes of Savoie. Regarding the latest bi-departmental promotional tourism campaign focused on lake tourism, it proposes to take a retrospective and analytical look at the lake tourism development in the department of Savoie, with the lakes of Bourget and Aiguebelette. To do so, the article mobilizes the chronosystemic tool in order to cross the images produced by the stakeholders of the destination and the lake planning actions. Three main tourist periods are thus defined, with several «types » of lakes interspersed. Their perspective highlights both i) permanences in the images produced, with “ types of lakes” continuously mobilized by tourism stakeholders to sell their destination but also ii) innovations with the creation of new discursive elements. In fine, this work highlights the logic of permanent readjustments between the tourism images produced by the stakeholders of tourism promotion, the main developments carried out and the tourism practices observed.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Hospitality& Tourism industry is a major industry contributing to 10% of the GDP of the country. wherein they have a significant economic, social, and ecological impact on nature. Today owing to the Pandemic, this sector is badly hit due to the closure of tourism operations and restricted movement of people across the country and globally. Tourism and hospitality definitely add to the generation of waste, but if managed systematically the environment can be protected from damage. Today mankind is hit by a virus and the reason is we have not respected the environment. Therefore, in recent years, the Indian Government has taken strict measures and made mandatory guidelines for hotels in tourist spots to comply with all environment-friendly practices like proper disposal of wet & dry garbage, recycling of water, sewage treatment plants installation in premises, horticulture, and minimal use of plastic, etc. Five Star hotels were generally assumed as a place to enjoy the vacation, using a swimming pool, and enjoying world cuisine but nowadays people have started asking for recycling paper, recycled linen, recycled amenities in the room, etc. With this changing trend, hotels need to adapt to a new approach and start using green initiatives which give rise to green and eco-friendly hotels. This in turn would benefit mankind, environment and a better future will be passed on as a legacy to coming generations. This paper, therefore, analyses the environment-friendly practices of selected hotels of Delhi and the awareness among the staff.

Abstract:
Food and tourism are the largest industries in New Zealand. While the interfaces between food and tourism have been extensively studied during recent decades, media representations of food tourism still remain as an unexplored issue. This paper studies the coverage that New Zealand daily print media carries out with regard to food tourism. The method design is based on a discourse analysis, and it encompasses the six newspapers with major circulation across New Zealand. The study period runs from 2000 to 2016. Results reveal that media coverage of food tourism in New Zealand newspapers is focused on three topics: food culture, regional development and international practices.

Abstract:
Introduction: the financial constraints of local budgets stimulate the local authorities to search for new opportunities in promoting the tourist attractiveness of the territories. The need to involve local communities into the management practices of tourism develop- ment raises the importance of the study into motivation and assessments of the residents and their readiness to interact with authorities in the sphere of tourism. Objectives: to determine the prospects for tourism development in the Russian Federation municipalities based on the analysis of the population opinions and assessments. Methods: questionnaire survey of the Russian municipalities’ residents. The final sample, spontaneously selected, included municipalities from 28 Russian regions. Results: the obtained results illustrate the confidence of the majority of respondents (64.7 %) in the possibility of attracting tourists to their town / rural settlement. Despite such optimistic opinions, 2/3 of the respondents (66.8 %) believe that promoting tourist attractiveness is a secondary task (the urgent needs to address being hospitals, roads, communal services, etc.). According to those interviewed, the key instruments of tourism development are the tourist infrastructure modernization (49.8 %), creating attractive tourist sites (45.1 %), improving the urban environment quality” (44.8 %). Conclusions: the results of the study showed a contradiction between the public opinion recognition of tourism as the basis for the financial recovery of the territory on the one hand, and the attitude to the costs of developing this industry as irrational due to the presence of unsolved social problems – on the other. The respondents support to the need of involving local residents into building the tourist attractiveness of the territory can be considered a potential opportunity for a wider use of social resources in the local communities and the internal sources of territorial development (traditions, authenticity of cultural patterns, historical heritage, etc.). According to the respondents, tourism development tools are associated with traditional practices that require significant financial investments: the development of tourism infrastructure and tourist attraction sites. Creative ideas on branding the territory or organizing inter-municipal cooperation received less support.

Abstract:
Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean located to the south of India and separated from Indian subcontinent by a small straight. The island has been one of the major tourist attractions since antiquity. End of the protracted civil war is a blessing for the recent surge of tourist arrival and the rapid expansion of tourism facilities on the island. Although small, the island is rich in religious and cultural diversity with an immense attraction to the tourist. Buddhism is the main religion of the overwhelming majority of people even though Hinduism, Christianity and Islam are practiced side by side by several followers. The rich cultural heritage rotating around the religious practices, tolerance and beliefs ranges from historical monuments and ancient cities through meditation, yoga, folk music and dances, festivities, ceremonies and rituals. Special sites with multi-religious attractions reflect the diversity and uniqueness of a rich culture. North Central province is rich in religious and cultural resources than any other province in Sri Lanka. Only a small fraction of these vast resources has been utilized by the tourism industry so far. The promotion of the religious and cultural tourism products in the province will open new avenues for tourists as well as many people of the province.

Abstract:
This article charts the gendering of mass tourism in Spain under Franco in the 1960s as a locus of intercultural encounters and innovation in forms of popular sociability and gender dynamics. By highlighting the centrality of gender it suggests that exploring the tourism that emerged in this period maps the reinvention of gender representations involving the alignment of tourist otherness and gendered cultural differences that reinscribe the Franco regime's models of femininity. The meaning of the new gender representations that emerged in tourist sites – the iconic Sueca (Nordic female tourist) and a reinvented Don Juan – is also explored from the frame of reference of privileged ‘contact zones’. This study argues for the need to examine the relationship between tourist discourse and practices on the meaning of femininity and masculinity and aims to disclose how the connections between new and old gender representations give insight into the complex contestation of the established Francoist gender order before the end of the Franco dictatorship.

Abstract:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic businesses in the travel and tourism industry were pushed to the edge of chaos and bifurcation and restrictions resulted in unprecedented and far-reaching impacts. Using a qualitative method, chaos theory is applied to investigate 24 tourism business managers in Plateau State in Nigeria on the business management practices employed for their businesses to promote tourism activities following the post-pandemic reopening of tourism businesses. Results reveal that most of the tourism businesses survived the pandemic with businesses gradually ‘bouncing back’ due to human resources and the overhauling of business operations. Bifurcation caused tourism businesses to be on paths that led to their closure (destruction), while some gained new market segments thanks to reorganization to reach self-organization facilitated by strange attractors. The incorporation of chaos theory in business management practices during the pandemic further confirms that crises are complex and unpredictable.

Abstract:
The general idea of prospects for innovative development of the Ukrainian tourist industry in the crisis caused by the pandemic coronavirus infection is given. The influence of a new global threat - the COVID-19 epidemic - on the tourism industry in Ukraine and the world is determined. Emphasis is placed on the need to stimulate innovation processes in the travel industry, which in the future will contribute to the expansion of promising opportunities for Ukraine to bring this economy sector to a qualitatively new level. The Ukrainian public innovation policy in tourism and prospects of its development are analyzed. The issue of general innovations classification in tourism is investigated and their three main groups are defined: product-related, technological, and managerial. Examples of successful innovative solutions for the revival of tourism in the conditions of coronavirus restrictions are given. Phototourism is presented as an example of product innovations, which focuses on the implementation of the environmentally responsible tourism concept for the low level of impact on the environment. Other examples of product innovations that attract the attention of travel services consumers in the context of coronavirus restrictions are the practices of staycation (short trips for short distances, which allow for a brief change of scenery and relaxation) and workation (combining work with vacation). Examples of technological innovations that have resulted from the development of scientific and technological progress are electronic tourism (ETravel), virtual tourism, tourist information systems, and others. The program "Tourist Cashback" and the introduction of passports of immunity and security certificates are described as an example of managerial innovations aimed at supporting domestic and regional tourism. The paper proves that the digitalization of all types of tourist services around the world in general and in Ukraine, in particular, meets the current conditions for the existence of the tourist market and opens wide prospects for the future.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review recent studies published from 2007 to 2015 on tourism and hotel demand modeling and forecasting with a view to identifying the emerging topics and methods studied and to pointing future research directions in the field. Design/methodology/approach Articles on tourism and hotel demand modeling and forecasting published mostly in both science citation index and social sciences citation index journals were identified and analyzed. Findings This review finds that the studies focused on hotel demand are relatively less than those on tourism demand. It is also observed that more and more studies have moved away from the aggregate tourism demand analysis, whereas disaggregate markets and niche products have attracted increasing attention. Some studies have gone beyond neoclassical economic theory to seek additional explanations of the dynamics of tourism and hotel demand, such as environmental factors, tourist online behavior and consumer confidence indicators, among others. More sophisticated techniques such as nonlinear smooth transition regression, mixed-frequency modeling technique and nonparametric singular spectrum analysis have also been introduced to this research area. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this review is that the articles included in this study only cover the English literature. Future review of this kind should also include articles published in other languages. The review provides a useful guide for researchers who are interested in future research on tourism and hotel demand modeling and forecasting. Practical implications This review provides important suggestions and recommendations for improving the efficiency of tourism and hospitality management practices. Originality/value The value of this review is that it identifies the current trends in tourism and hotel demand modeling and forecasting research and points out future research directions.

Abstract:
Tourism is a major activity in the global economy, not only in terms of its economic impact but also its social and environmental implications. The management practices and processes adopted by tourist companies and destinations are very heterogeneous and have variable impacts on the triple-bottom-line sustainability (people, profit, planet) of the ecosystem. However, there is still only limited available knowledge about the value of different practices for promoting both sustainable development and greater competitiveness. This Special Issue includes papers that present new ideas, theories, advancements, experiences, evidence or methodologies that support the convergence of economic, social and environmental competitiveness, the factors that help ensure their alignment, and the obstacles to complementarity between sustainability, responsibility and competitiveness in the tourism industry.

Abstract:
AbstractHistorically, the Gold Coast is a ‘young’ city and urban area inextricably tied to tourism, and a reputation for sun and surf. While this is undeniably true, another lesser known narrative bound to music-driven youth culture from the 1960s to the 1980s is also part of the Gold Coast's history. With ‘heritage tourism’ linked to popular music in recent years, this article examines how the Gold Coast's youth culture history may potentially inform new tourist practices in the country's sixth largest city. Regardless of whether such heritage tourism is ever adopted by the Gold Coast's governing bodies, mapping this relationship between music, youth and place offers a new perspective on an active Australian city— one often stereotyped as a place with a penchant for erasing its past and only looking to the future.

"Research of Attitudes toward Implementation of Green Accounting in Tourism Industry in Montenegro-Practices, and Challenges."

Abstract:
The transition to green economies is considered to be a key driver of sustainable economic development. Growing awareness of environmental costs and their integration into corporate performance reporting has led to the development of a new environmental dimension of accounting. Although it is a modern concept, its integration into the tourist business community is important, especially because tourism is recognized as energy and emission intensive. As preserving the environment can create an optimal framework that is in the function of the development of sustainable tourism in Montenegro, this paper discusses and analyzes the degree of knowledge of tourism companies on the application of the green concept, especially through the prism of socially responsible business. The research study was conducted by applying the classification Decision tree model (DT) on the data obtained by surveying employees and owners of Montenegrin tourism companies. The DT method has shown that socio-demographic factors have a significant impact on understanding the importance of green accounting in the tourism sector of Montenegro and that most tourism companies include corporate social responsibility in their business strategy and policy. The fact that the same or similar research on this topic has not been done in Montenegro, but also in neighboring countries, indicates an important contribution that this paper may have for the scientific and professional community, primarily in the form of incentives to create and publish reports on environmental protection.

Abstract:
In the last fifty years world tourism and hospitality industry experienced a phenomenal growth of international tourist arrivals, overnights and receipts. It is widely recognized that the tourism became one of the most dominating socio-economic activities at the beginning of the 21st Century. The example of Croatia speaks in favour of that statement. Tourism is the most prosperous industry and the essential development factor in Croatia. The great share of tourism results refers to family business that is of high importance to development strategy of Croatian tourism. Family business in Croatian tourism is based on households and family hotels. Family hotels are recognized on the tourism market by its original and identifiable service imbued with indigenous values and cultural heritage, diversity and individuality. Moreover, they are the most sound and prosperous segment of Croatian tourism and their top-level quality and high professionalism are basic elements of tourism development. Croatian strategic tourism development documents highlight the participation of private sector in tourism development. One of the possible ways of such participation is through public-private partnership (PPP). There are many examples of public-private partnerships in tourism around the world. According to world experiences, marketing and promotions and product development are the main areas where public-private partnership has developed. Despite the fact that tourism is very important economy generator, Croatian experiences with integral implementation of public-private partnerships in tourism are only at the beginning. The aim of this paper is to examine how Croatian family hotels could take a part in establishing public-private partnerships in tourism. Considering the world best practices on publicprivate partnership in tourism investment, the paper also suggests two acceptable partnership models. The first is related to existing tourism clusters while the second is more innovative and is related to the development of a new tourist complex. Proposed public-private partnership model for the new tourist complex development includes government (on local or/and national level) as public sector representative and family hotels as private sector representative. The paper also examines necessary prerequ

Abstract:
The tourist practices those have been developed at the sites of selected former Soviet military bases in Poland (Borne Sulinowo, Kłomino, Pstrąże) and in Latvia (Skrunda‑1, Karosta in Liepāja, Daugavgrīva fortress) are considered in the submitted article. The catalogue of tourist practices presented in the text includes 1) the urban exploration movement, 2) creating new paths and exploring on foot, 3) establishing and visiting museums and quasi-museums, 4) reality shows those include elements of performance, 5) organising and participating in events – was intended to be open and selective. It only includes the type of practices based on using material military heritage and selected episodes from history to create unique products of tourism, such as the individual character of a site in the context of its past. The focus on tourist practices has been developed in different contexts – Polish and Latvian – illustrates how the post-Soviet material military heritage is used in each of these countries to serve new functions. It also sheds some light on whether (or how) tourist practices contribute to the ‘rehabilitation’ of bases and other post-military facilities in the eyes of the public, reveals the process of negotiating meaning within and in reference to these sites, and indicates how tourist practices affect the materiality of the place. The research has shown that diverse tourist practices are developed in de-militarized zones in both Poland and Latvia; specific patterns of tourist experience are formed there, which do not have anything in common with mass tourism. In any given case, it is the materiality of the post-military space that determines the type of tourist practices developing there. In the context of tourist practices, the material heritage of military bases is presented as something unusual and worth seeing. At the same time, however, military heritage is contemplated and experienced in a tranquil, safe environment, which makes the emerging images and experiences ‘sterilised’, and ultimately far removed from the dangers due to which these bases have been built. Thus, they are detached from their original functions and meanings. Nevertheless, the development of diverse tourist practices indicates that although the military heritage of former Soviet bases has its meaning in the present, it is still contested, ambivalent and inspiring slightly disturbing perceptions of both the past and the future.
