The article discusses smart tourism as one of the areas of smart specialization. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia, the “Smart Specialization” program has been developed, which is the basis for strengthening the innovative potential of the regions. When implementing this component, it becomes possible to identify the strengths of a particular region and their targeted development. As a result of active cooperation with the relevant structures of the European Union, Imereti was chosen as a pilot region. The article mentions the role of smart tourism in the context of smart specialization of Imereti, first of all, it can be smart tourism, artificial intelligence in tourism, smart destination, the use of various communication and IT technologies. The article discusses the importance of smart cities, smart destinations, artificial intelligence, and the 5G network in the development of smart tourism. “Smart” tourism determines the prospects for the development of the industry. However, the study of this complex phenomenon is currently in its infancy. It should be noted that a comparative and comprehensive study of the experience of smart tourism will undoubtedly become one of the main directions of this research in the world. Keywords: Smart Tourism, Smart Specialization, Smart Destination.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This work analyzes how regional tourism dynamics (demand, supply and specialization) and innovation performance may influence tourism competitiveness. The novelty and originality of the analysis is the inclusion of aspects related to the sectorial priority options defined within smart specialization strategies in European regions as potential explanatory factors. By using a panel data model and focusing on regions where tourism is one of the priority sectors for Regional Innovation Strategies (RIS3, 2014–2020), the results reveal positive impacts of tourism demand, supply and specialization on the value added produced by tourism activities. Moreover, immaterial aspects related to the qualification of the regional labor force and innovation dynamics (investment in research in development) also exert a positive impact on tourism competitiveness. The novel results obtained regarding the impacts of smart specialization strategies show a high potential of the tourism sector to benefit from geographical, cultural and institutional forms of proximity. The results also suggest that knowledge externalities arising from interactions with both related or unrelated sectors—by exploiting interactions and connectivity with sectors with both low and high cognitive distances—may emerge.

We investigate the relationship between tourism specialization and economic growth. We deviate from previous studies – which have reported mixed evidence – by allowing the relationship to take a nonlinear form. We find that tourism specialization is associated with higher rates of economic growth at relatively low levels of specialization but eventually diminishing returns set in and tourism’s contribution becomes minimal. The policy lesson is that there is promise for tourism-led growth in developing countries but other economic activities must also be developed in order to carry the economy forward once the potential of tourism-led growth has been exhausted.

This article investigates the relationship between tourism specialization and economic growth while accounting for the absorptive capacity of host (tourism destination) countries, defined in terms of financial system development. We use the system generalized methods-of-moments (SYS-GMM) estimation methodology to investigate this relationship for 129 countries over the period 1995–2011. The results support the hypothesis that the positive effect of tourism specialization on growth is contingent on the level of economic development as well as the financial system absorptive capacity of recipient economies. Consistent with the law of diminishing returns, we also find that for countries with a developed financial system, at exponential levels of tourism specialization, its effect on growth turns negative. Significant policy implications flow from these findings.

The article examines the role of smart specialization as an innovative approach to the development of the tourism sector in the regions of Ukraine. The aim of the study is to analyze, systematize, generalize and improve the theoretical and methodological support for the introduction of smart specialization in the context of the formation of the investment potential of the tourism sector. It is determined that the development of tourism in the context of smart specialization allows combining economic growth with innovation and sustainable development. Smart specialization is focused on concentrating efforts and resources on a limited number of strategic areas that have the greatest potential for attracting investment and increasing the competitiveness of regions. The study showed that the introduction of smart specialization in the tourism sector contributes to structural changes in regional economies, increases the added value of tourism services and stimulates local development. The process of developing a project to increase the investment potential of the tourism sector on the basis of the introduction of smart specialization, consisting of eight stages, is substantiated as follows: analysis of the tourism potential of the region with the purpose of assessing the existing tourism potential of the region, which involves identifying its unique resources, opportunities for development and existing limitations; strategic planning of tourism development, the purpose of which is to determine the main directions of development of the tourism sector, set priorities and develop a long-term strategy; analysis of infrastructure development in order to study the existing tourist infrastructure and identify areas for its improvement; partnership and cooperation, the purpose of which is to establish partnerships with local businesses, scientific institutions and civil society for the joint implementation of the project; development of innovative solutions with the purpose of integrating innovations into all aspects of the tourism sector to increase its competitiveness; development of a strategy for attracting investments, aiming at formation of an effective strategy for attracting foreign and domestic investors in the development of the tourism sector; marketing and promotion, the purpose of which is to create an effective system for promoting the region’s tourism product in the domestic and international markets; monitoring and evaluation, in order is to track the effectiveness of the project and ensure that it meets the set goals.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The article reveals international challenges, national guidelines, and regional peculiarities of SMART specialization in tourism and recreation. In the course of the research, we offer methodical approaches to justify the SMART specialization of the region in the field of hospitality and recreation as a component of the general model of strategic development of the regional economy and a key factor of competitiveness. The authors determined that an effective tool for the strategic development of the region and the formation of sustainable competitive advantages, which has proven its effectiveness in the practice of regional management in the EU countries, is the definition of the critical SMART specializations of the region and the concentration of efforts on their development—using the proposed methodological approaches. Zakarpattia tourism and recreation spheres were tested for the conditions of adaptation of smart specialization. The calculations showed that the sphere of tourism, recreation, and hospitality as a whole is an essential branch of the economy of the Zakarpattia region and can develop based on SMART specialization. The key areas of tourism and recreation development in the regions that correspond to modern world trends and are the most relevant given the current military events are highlighted: green tourism, health resort, sports, rehabilitation, and inclusive tourism.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
To examine whether tourism can effectively stimulate economic growth following a disaster shock, we apply a panel threshold regression technique to test the threshold effect of tourism development on economic growth of the 36 Wenchuan earthquake-affected counties in 2008–2016. The empirical results using the panel fixed-effects model show that tourism significantly contributes to economic growth, supporting the validity of the tourism-led growth hypothesis (TLGH) for the disaster-affected destinations. The results of the panel threshold regression model also indicate a threshold effect of tourism development on economic growth, implying that counties with different conditions of tourism specialization and industrial structure experience different impacts on the tourism-growth nexus. Specifically, the estimated coefficients of tourism on economic growth decrease with the levels of tourism specialization and industrial structure exceeding the threshold value. Based on the Tourism Area Life Cycle theory (TALC), we further divide the 36 disaster-stricken counties into six types based on the evolution of tourism specialization: Exploration-stage type, involvement-stage type, transition-stage type, development-stage type, consolidation-stage type, and stagnation-stage type. The empirical findings and managerial implications discussed are generally applicable to policymakers seeking new ways to invigorate the economy in other disaster-affected destinations.

Modern tourism is a complex socio-economic and cultural phenomenon of multifaceted significance. Apart from the traditional types of tourism, the modern (alternative, traditional) types of tourism are becoming more and more attractive. One of them is health tourism. Health tourism covers the following subtypes of tourism: balneo, spa and wellness, thalassotherapy and medical. Its development on a global, European and national scale is considered. In Bulgaria there are excellent conditions for its development. The role of human resources in relation to health tourism is also growing. Their personnel development, education and training are monitored. The index of specialization allows to establish what is the health and tourism specialization and the opportunities for overcoming the existing disparities in terms of staffing.

National and local governments are harmonizing the regional policies to enable balanced development of regions. Related research is questioning whether priority should be given to information and communication technologies in the implementation of the Smart Specialization Strategy in a regional level. The objective of this article is to find out whether ICTs have any impact on key tourism statistical performance indicators. Such an impact would justify the priority of ICT in regional policies. 2.181 tourism industry entities were checked for web presence; the region of the entity’s activity was recorded. The correlation between the on-line presence and the key statistical indicators was analyzed. Only 655 (30 %) are present on the Internet by a means of a web page.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Après une ample introduction sur Haïti et la CARICOM, cette thèse regroupe trois essais d'économie internationale pour éclairer les problématiques et le potentiel du pays et de la région.Le premier essai est une discussion critique de la théorie classique de David Ricardo sur l'avantage comparatif, examinant le rôle des différences de revenu sur le commerce international. En s'affranchissant de l'hypothèse restrictive généralement adoptée de « préférences homothétiques » selon laquelle les ménages consacrent une fraction constante de leur revenu à l'achat de chaque bien ou service qu'ils consomment, le rôle de la demande (et donc la distribution des revenus) pour expliquer le flux des échanges est réaffirmé. Un modèle simple démontre qu'un pays pauvre peut être exclu des échanges malgré ses avantages comparatifs, même en l'absence de barrières commerciales telles que les droits de douane ou les coûts de transport.Les pays encore dominés par l'agriculture de subsistance tendent à avoir un faible taux d'ouverture, car l'essentiel de leur production est consommé localement et les biens de consommation produits à l'étranger leur restent inaccessibles. En revanche, les pays spécialisés dans les services touristiques ont tendance à avoir un taux d'ouverture élevé, car ils exportent l'ensemble de ces services qui servent à financer l'importation d'une grande partie de leur alimentation et des biens de consommation, qui ne sont pas produits sur place. En somme, indépendamment de leur taille, le niveau d'ouverture économique des pays à bas revenus dépend largement de leur spécialisation.Une autre implication cruciale du modèle est que seuls les pays les plus riches peuvent vraiment profiter des avantages du commerce international. Le commerce apparait comme un moteur de divergence plutôt que de convergence, car il tend, dans certains cas du moins, à accentuer les inégalités entre les nations. Certains pays profitent de la croissance mondiale alors que d'autres, bien qu'étant proches géographiquement, semblent s'en éloigner irrémédiablement.Le deuxième essai souligne les vulnérabilités découlant de la spécialisation touristique de nombreux pays des Caraïbes. Bien que cette spécialisation leur ait permis de bénéficier de la croissance des pays riches, elle les expose également à tous les chocs susceptibles d'affecter ce secteur. La pandémie de Covid-19 a tragiquement révélé cette fragilité, comme en témoigne la chute du PIB clairement reliée à l'importance du tourisme dans chacun de ces pays. Les économies caribéennes ont été directement impactées par les restrictions de voyage imposées par les pays d'origine des touristes, sans avoir leur mot à dire. Ainsi, en plus de la fragilité intrinsèquement liée à la spécialisation, ces pays se sont retrouvés en grande partie privés de leur souveraineté en matière de politique économique, ce qui est particulièrement problématique quand il y a divergence d'intérêt.Le troisième essai explore une avenue potentielle pour le développement d'Haïti. Malgré les intentions affichées de la CARICOM, les échanges commerciaux au sein de la communauté restent très limités et les bénéfices attendus des accords de Chaguaramas tardent à se concrétiser. Les pays des Caraïbes présentent peu de complémentarités et pourraient n'être que des destinations touristiques concurrentes sans liens entre elles, s'ils ne bénéficiaient pas de l'effet d'appartenance à la communauté Caraïbéenne qui les rend visibles au niveau international.Nous soutenons que l'artisanat haïtien pourrait enrichir l'industrie touristique de la région. Haïti possède un avantage comparatif évident dans ce domaine en raison de sa main-d'œuvre abondante par rapport aux autres pays de la région. Il pourrait donc tirer parti des retombées de l'industrie touristique prospère de ses voisins, alors que ces derniers ont tout intérêt à favoriser un tourisme plus culturel, à la fois plus rentable et plus durable que le tourisme de masseAfter an extensive introduction on Haiti and CARICOM, this thesis comprises three essays in international economics aimed at shedding light on the issues and potential of the country and the region.The first essay is a critical discussion of David Ricardo's classical theory of comparative advantage, examining the role of income disparities in international trade. By breaking free from the commonly adopted restrictive assumption of "homothetic preferences," which pos-its that households allocate a constant fraction of their income to the purchase of each good or service they consume, the significance of demand (and thus of income distribution) in explaining trade flows is reaffirmed. A simple model demonstrates that a low-income coun-try can be excluded from trade despite its comparative advantages, even in the absence of trade barriers such as tariffs or transportation costs.Countries still dominated by subsistence agriculture tend to have a low level of openness because most of their production is consumed locally, and foreign-produced consumer goods remain inaccessible to them. In contrast, countries specializing in tourism services tend to have a high level of openness because they export these services to finance the importation of much of their food and consumer goods, which are not locally produced. In summary, re-gardless of their size, the level of economic openness of low-income countries depends largely on their specialization.Another crucial implication of the model is that only the wealthiest countries can truly bene-fit from the advantages of international trade. Trade appears as a driver of divergence rather than convergence because, in some cases, it tends to exacerbate inequalities between nations. Some countries benefit from global growth while others, despite their geographical proximi-ty, seem to drift away irreversibly.The second essay underscores the vulnerabilities arising from the tourism specialization of many Caribbean countries. Although this specialization has allowed them to benefit from the growth of wealthy countries, it also exposes them to all shocks that may affect this sector. The Covid-19 pandemic tragically revealed this fragility, as evidenced by the clear decline in GDP directly related to the importance of tourism in each of these countries. Caribbean economies were directly affected by travel restrictions imposed by tourists' countries of origin, without having a say. Thus, in addition to the fragility inherently linked to specializa-tion, these countries found themselves largely deprived of their sovereignty in economic pol-icy matters, which is particularly problematic when there is a divergence of interest.The third essay explores a potential avenue for Haiti's development. Despite CARICOM's stated intentions, intra-community trade remains very limited, and the expected benefits of the Chaguaramas agreements have yet to materialize. Caribbean countries have few com-plementarities and could be nothing more than competing tourist destinations without con-nections if they did not benefit from the visibility provided by belonging to the Caribbean community at the international level. We argue that Haitian craftsmanship could enrich the region's tourism industry. Haiti has a clear comparative advantage in this field due to its abundant workforce compared to other countries in the region. It could thus benefit from the successful tourism industry of its neighbors, as these countries have every interest in promot-ing a more cultural, profitable, and sustainable form of tourism than mass tourism

Baird, Tyler A. "Bear River Heritage Area: A Study of Recreation Specialization and Importance-Performance". DigitalCommons@USU, 2013. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1740.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Heritage tourism is a fast growing sector in the recreation arena. Research into multiple aspects of heritage tourism has increased during the last few decades as it has been recognized as a distinct form of tourism and promoted around the globe. This study was conducted in an effort to better understand multiple aspects of heritage tourism in the Bear River Heritage Area of northern Utah and southeastern Idaho. The following aims to provide Bear River Heritage Area leadership with baseline data on their visitors and build upon the base of literature in the areas of recreation specialization, and importance-performance analysis. Attempts to apply the recreation specialization continuum in the context of heritage tourism were relatively unsuccessful in this case. Potential problems with applying recreation specialization to heritage tourism are discussed and implications for future studies are explored. In addition, emerging trends in importance-performance research are applied to respondent ratings of attribute importance and satisfaction in order to provide the best possible suggestions for Bear River Heritage Area management improvements and build upon existing research. Specifically, traditional importance-performance analysis is compared to analyses that incorporate grand means, segmentation, and confidence intervals.

Wang, Chenxu. "Économie du tourisme des seniors et spécialisation internationale". Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019TOU20005.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
L’économie du tourisme des seniors a pour but d’analyser le tourisme international dans le cadre de la demande touristique des personnes âgées. Pour cela, il convient de définir ce que sont les personnes âgées, il s’agit des personnes de plus de 60 ans qui voyages d’après la définition de l’Organisation Mondiale du Tourisme en quittant leur lieu de résidence principale et en se rendant dans un pays d’une autre destination. Le cadre théorique de l’économie du tourisme des seniors et l’économie internationale sont la théorie de la spécialisation internationale. Cette thèse montre que les théories de la spécialisation internationale s’appliquent très bien au tourisme des seniors. C’est le cas particulier de la théorie de la demande, mais également de la théorie du coût comparatif et la théorie du facteur technologique. Pour appuyer la démonstration théorique, il a été décidé dans le cadre de cette thèse de comparer le tourisme des seniors dans le cas de la France et dans le cas de la Chine. Cette comparaison internationale permet de montrer que le tourisme des seniors doit être segmenté d’une part en fonction de l’âge et d’autre part en fonction des motivations. C’est ainsi que cette analyse comparative permet de compléter l’analyse théorique en montrant que la prise en compte de la segmentation conduit à élaborer des déterminants du tourisme des seniors qui peuvent être utile à la fois dans le cadre des comparaisons bilatérales, et également des comparaisons internationales multilatéralesThe purpose of senior tourism eonomics is to analyze international tourism in the context of tourism demand from the elderly. For this purpose, it is necessary to define what a senior tourist is: it is a person over 60 years old who leaves his main place of residence and travels to another country, according to the definition of the World Tourism Organization. The theoretical framework of senior tourism economics and international economics is the theory of international specialization. This thesis shows that the theories of international specialization can explain senior tourism. This is particularly the case with the theory of demand, the theory of comparative costs and the theory of technological factor endowments. In order to support this theoretical demonstration, it was decided in this thesis to compare senior tourism in France and in China. This international comparison makes it possible to show that senior tourism must be segmented on the one hand by ages and on the other hand by motivations. Thus, this comparative analysis makes it possible to complete the theoretical analysis by showing that the consideration of this segmentation can lead to the development of determining factors for senior tourism, that can be useful in the context of bilateral and multilateral international comparisons
老年旅游经济学是在老年人旅游需求的背景下进行的国际旅游分析。因此，首先要明确老年游客的定义。联合国世界旅游组织对于老年游客的定义为：60周岁以上，离开其主要居住地并前往另一个目的地进行旅行活动的人群。老年旅游经济学和国际经济学均以国际分工理论为基础框架。通过该论文可以证明，国际分工理论适用于老年旅游经济学的研究，该研究是需求理论、比较成本理论以及科技因素理论的特殊案例。为了支持理论论证，该论文就法国和中国的老年旅游进行比较研究，证明老年旅游经济学需要从年龄、旅游动机进行细分研究。该比较研究通过明确老年旅游发展决定性因素以补充理论研究基础，并可运用在双边及多边国际旅游比较的背景中。

This study aimed at exploring recreation specialization and progression among senior employees in the tourism industries including the reasons and factors why the progression started as well as the cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects of recreation specialization, progression, and changes that had occurred and finally, the influence of recreation specialization on recreational behavior and personal value. The study was conducted in a semi-structured interview with six senior tourism employees as respondents. The important findings of this study are as follows: 1. The study reveals that the senior tourism employees start to travel because someone introduce or through the club and the main characteristics of senior tourism employees emerge including positive emotions, sociability, intellectual, show self-discipline, act dutifully, as well as unique ethos, and significant personal effort identifying strongly with tourism activities of serious leisure participants' traits. 2. The result shows that professional knowledge comes from the experience transmission, whereas past recreational experience affects problem solving ability. Senior tourism employees must make use of communication skills, negotiation skills, crises management, schedule management, and ability to maps reading. Skills can be learned from experience by writing a reflective diary, trying different kinds of routes, or participation in association courses. There are many opportunities from Tourism Bureau to go to other countries for training senior tourism employees. They invite association to train the junior tourism employees. Diversity and freshness of tourism make them acquire joy from work constantly. When traveling becomes a job, they tend to keep developing their skills to enhance their profession. 3. The finding is that tour guide has more time to take family responsibilities when accidental life events and changes happen in life. Tourism employees expand their careers through interaction with different travelers and suppliers. 4. It has been found that they make good use of leisure time to develop more possibilities on their career. The seniors tend to challenge different types of the group, self-guided tour and pay more attention on environmental protection issues and remind customers of issues. 5. The result states that the aspects of recreational specialization are influenced by mutual cycles when recreational activities are regarded as a kind of occupation. Based on the findings above, some suggestions were proposed not only for those recreational and tourism managers, but also for associations. Lastly, future research orientations were proposed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between tourism development and economic growth. This study applies the Panel Smooth Transition Regression Model (PSTR) proposed by Gonzales et al. (2005) to investigate the regime-switching effect of tourism specialization on economic growth in Asia Pacific countries over the period 1996-2009. These results are as follow: (a)There were regime-switching effects of tourism specialization on economic growth; (b)The tourism specialization on economic growth has better explanation effect on non-linear PSTR than linear PLS (Panel Least Squares);(c)In medium degree of tourism specialization countries (the value is above 0.0236~0.0852), tourism development has a significantly positive influence on economic growth, but trade openness, consumption ability and investment ratio has a significant negative influence on economic growth;(d) In low or high degree of tourism specialization countries (the value is below 0.0236 or above 0.0852), tourism development will reduce the influence on economic growth and trade openness, there is a significantly positive influence on investment ratio, there is a significantly crowding-out effect on general government final consumption expenditure, and negative influence increased trade openness. According to the result, this study presented policy recommendations and future research.

The purpose of this study aimed to defining relationships among concepts as se-rious leisure, recreation specialization, participation reward, and sport tourism participa-tive behaviors. A design of survey research with non-random sampling was used to col-lect riders’ perception and behavioral patterns, a total of 388 effective questionnaires were collected and analyzed by SPSS and LISREL statistical software. From the results of analysis, conclusions were draw as the following: 1. From the results, riders’ gender is a significant influencing factor in perceiving participation rewards. 2. Riders’ perception of serious leisure, recreation specialization, participation reward and sport tourism participative behaviors are affected by their marital status and career types. 3. Likewise, other factors, such as riders’ age, education, monthly income, where significant differences can be found among variables. 4. In conclusion, riders’ serious leisure, participation reward have a direct posi-tive effect on the sport tourism participative behavior, and recreation speciali-zation, participation reward have a direct positive effect on the serious leisure. Based on these findings, suggestions are offered to service providers, riders, and government. Further research with continuous efforts in newly developed leisure activi-ties are granted in improving the promoting the leisure participation in Taiwan.

A year into the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the race between vaccine and virus entered a new phase in the Middle East and Central Asia, and the path to recovery in 2021 is expected to be long and divergent. The outlook will vary significantly across countries, depending on the pandemic’s path, vaccine rollouts, underlying fragilities, exposure to tourism and contact-intensive sectors, and policy space and actions. 2021 will be the year of policies that continue saving lives and livelihoods and promote recovery, while balancing the need for debt sustainability and financial resilience. At the same time, policymakers must not lose sight of the transformational challenges to build forward better and accelerate the creation of more inclusive, resilient, sustainable, and green economies. Regional and international cooperation will be key complements to strong domestic policies.

Economy and mankind are inextricably interlinked. Just as the economy or the production of material wealth is unimaginable without a man, so human existence and development are impossible without the wealth created in the economy. Shortly, both the goal and the means of achieving and realization of the economy are still the human resources. People have long ago noticed that it was the economy that created livelihoods, and the delays in their production led to the catastrophic events such as hunger, poverty, civil wars, social upheavals, revolutions, moral degeneration, and more. Therefore, the special interest of people in understanding the regulatory framework of the functioning of the economy has existed and exists in all historical epochs [A. Sisvadze. Economic theory. Part One. 2006y. p. 22]. The system of economic disciplines studies economy or economic activities of a society. All of them are based on science, which is currently called economic theory in the post-socialist space (the science of economics, the principles of economics or modern economics), and in most countries of the world - predominantly in the Greek-Latin manner - economics. The title of the present book is also Modern Economics. Economics (economic theory) is the science that studies the efficient use of limited resources to produce and distribute goods and services in order to satisfy as much as possible the unlimited needs and demands of the society. More simply, economics is the science of choice and how society manages its limited resources. Moreover, it should be emphasized that economics (economic theory) studies only the distribution, exchange and consumption of the economic wealth (food, beverages, clothing, housing, machine tools, computers, services, etc.), the production of which is possible and limited. And the wealth that exists indefinitely: no economic relations are formed in the production and distribution of solar energy, air, and the like. This current book is the second complete updated edition of the challenges of the modern global economy in the context of the coronary crisis, taking into account some of the priority directions of the country's development. Its purpose is to help students and interested readers gain a thorough knowledge of economics and show them how this knowledge can be applied pragmatically (professionally) in professional activities or in everyday life. To achieve this goal, this textbook, which consists of two parts and tests, discusses in simple and clear language issues such as: the essence of economics as a science, reasons for origin, purpose, tasks, usefulness and functions; Basic principles, problems and peculiarities of economics in different economic systems; Needs and demand, the essence of economic resources, types and limitations; Interaction, mobility, interchangeability and efficient use of economic resources. The essence and types of wealth; The essence, types and models of the economic system; The interaction of households and firms in the market of resources and products; Market mechanism and its elements - demand, supply and price; Demand and supply elasticity; Production costs and the ways to reduce them; Forms of the market - perfect and incomplete competition markets and their peculiarities; Markets for Production Factors and factor incomes; The essence of macroeconomics, causes and importance of origin; The essence and calculation of key macroeconomic indicators (gross national product, gross domestic product, net national product, national income, etc.); Macroeconomic stability and instability, unemployment, inflation and anti-inflationary policies; State regulation of the economy and economic policy; Monetary and fiscal policy; Income and standard of living; Economic Growth; The Corona Pandemic as a Defect and Effect of Globalization; National Economic Problems and New Opportunities for Development in the conditions of the Coronary Crisis; The Socio-economic problems of moral obsolescence in digital technologies; Education and creativity are the main solution way to overcome the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus; Positive and negative effects of tourism in Georgia; Formation of the middle class as a contributing factor to the development of tourism in Georgia; Corporate culture in Georgian travel companies, etc. The axiomatic truth is that economics is the union of people in constant interaction. Given that the behavior of the economy reflects the behavior of the people who make up the economy, after clarifying the essence of the economy, we move on to the analysis of the four principles of individual decision-making. Furtermore, the book describes how people make independent decisions. The key to making an individual decision is that people have to choose from alternative options, that the value of any action is measured by the value of what must be given or what must be given up to get something, that the rational, smart people make decisions based on the comparison of the marginal costs and marginal returns (benefits), and that people behave accordingly to stimuli. Afterwards, the need for human interaction is then analyzed and substantiated. If a person is isolated, he will have to take care of his own food, clothes, shoes, his own house and so on. In the case of such a closed economy and universalization of labor, firstly, its productivity will be low and, secondly, it will be able to consume only what it produces. It is clear that human productivity will be higher and more profitable as a result of labor specialization and the opportunity to trade with others. Indeed, trade allows each person to specialize, to engage in the activities that are most successful, be it agriculture, sewing or construction, and to buy more diverse goods and services from others at a relatively lower price. The key to such human interactions is that trade is mutually beneficial; That markets are usually the good means of coordination between people and that the government can improve the results of market functioning if the market reveals weakness or the results of market functioning are not fair. Moroever, it also shows how the economy works as a whole. In particular, it is argued that productivity is a key determinant of living standards, that an increase in the money supply is a major source of inflation, and that one of the main impediments to avoiding inflation is the existence of an alternative between inflation and unemployment in the short term, that the inflation decrease causes the temporary decline in unemployement and vice versa. The Understanding creatively of all above mentioned issues, we think, will help the reader to develop market economy-appropriate thinking and rational economic-commercial-financial behaviors, to be more competitive in the domestic and international labor markets, and thus to ensure both their own prosperity and the functioning of the country's economy. How he/she copes with the tasks, it is up to the individual reader to decide. At the same time, we will receive all the smart useful advices with a sense of gratitude and will take it into account in the further work. We also would like to thank the editor and reviewers of the books. Finally, there are many things changing, so it is very important to realize that the XXI century has come: 1. The century of the new economy; 2. Age of Knowledge; 3. Age of Information and economic activities are changing in term of innovations. 1. Why is the 21st century the century of the new economy? Because for this period the economic resources, especially non-productive, non-recoverable ones (oil, natural gas, coal, etc.) are becoming increasingly limited. According to the World Energy Council, there are currently 43 years of gas and oil reserves left in the world (see “New Commersant 2007 # 2, p. 16). Under such conditions, sustainable growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) and maximum satisfaction of uncertain needs should be achieved not through the use of more land, labor and capital (extensification), but through more efficient use of available resources (intensification) or innovative economy. And economics, as it was said, is the science of finding the ways about the more effective usage of the limited resources. At the same time, with the sustainable growth and development of the economy, the present needs must be met in a way that does not deprive future generations of the opportunity to meet their needs; 2. Why is the 21st century the age of knowledge? Because in a modern economy, it is not land (natural resources), labor and capital that is crucial, but knowledge. Modern production, its factors and products are not time-consuming and capital-intensive, but science-intensive, knowledge-intensive. The good example of this is a Japanese enterprise (firm) where the production process is going on but people are almost invisible, also, the result of such production (Japanese product) is a miniature or a sample of how to get the maximum result at the lowest cost; 3. Why is the 21st century the age of information? Because the efficient functioning of the modern economy, the effective organization of the material and personal factors of production largely depend on the right governance decision. The right governance decision requires prompt and accurate information. Gone are the days when the main means of transport was a sailing ship, the main form of data processing was pencil and paper, and the main means of transmitting information was sending letters through a postman on horseback. By the modern transport infrastructure (highways, railways, ships, regular domestic and international flights, oil and gas pipelines, etc.), the movement of goods, services and labor resoucres has been significantly accelerated, while through the modern means of communication (mobile phone, internet, other) the information is spreading rapidly globally, which seems to have "shrunk" the world and made it a single large country.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter aims to analyse the promotional tourist texts motivated by wine consumption focused on tourists. These texts, considered as communicating units in translation, acquire a special value when the framework of meanings and images are developed in tourist contexts such as the enotourism –a context in another context–. According to this, we study the Turespaña brochure “Wine routes around Spain” (Rutas del vino por España) and its linguistics versions in four different languages (French, English, German and Spanish). Once the peripherical and the core texts of the document have been analysed, we point out the most relevant translatological divergences among the linguistic versions, paying special attention to the translation techniques that can be appreciated by comparing the texts. To conclude, this work outlines how the enotourist texts can be considered of a certain degree of specialization because of the context where it is inscribed in terms of communication and translation.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
AbstractOur chapter springs from discussions about our roles as tourism researchers in the Arctic in the midst of ecological crisis. We see this chapter as an opportunity to become and stay proximate with the idea of fragility as a collective space where we recognise our weaknesses, dependencies, and solidarities—the fragility of life. We approach fragility as a relational notion helping us to gain new understandings of our entanglements with the more-than-human world and as a vital element of carefull research orientations. As our inspiration, we use memory recalling, looking back, and writing about our experiences as tourism researchers at the University of Lapland. The feminist memory-work method highlights the collective construction of memories through sharing, discussing, and theorising about them as a whole. Applying collective memory work on and with fragility offers us a research method that we have started to call a collective fragility work. Our stories underline the importance of recognising our shared fragilities in relational approaches of becoming—of being and living in the damaged world and engaging in research from those premises.

Tourism has a significant and, for some countries, even a dominant impact on economic growth and more efficient use of natural, technical and human resources. The main goal of the research is to explore the current state of international tourism, and the basic causes of that state, as well as to indicate possible ways of increasing income based on the export of tourist services. The paper will use the descriptive method, the method of specialization and comparison, the methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as the methods of generalization and observation. The main conclusion is that the global Covid-19 pandemic has hit the international tourism sector the hardest, and that it is gradually returning to the pre-crisis level. The paper focuses on the EU and B&H, which has been found to have great possibilities for the growth and development of tourism, especially in the field of rural tourism.

The issue of forming cluster structures is very relevant for tourist destinations and certain forms of tourism in Ukraine. The scope of the study is the tourist clusters of Western Ukraine, which are characterized by high tourist attractiveness. The purpose of the study is to analyze the factors of tourist clusters formation and to develop guidelines for their scientific and educational support. Methodological and procedural framework was used to develop cluster models, as well as to typify them and assess formal and informal connections between scientific, educational institutions and cluster subjects. The typification of tourist clusters of the region is presented according to the criteria of the state of functioning, legal status, territorial coverage and specialization. Emphasis is placed on the structural features of clusters and the main tools of their development. The multifaceted analysis of scientific and information-educational support has been carried out for the introduction and functioning of tourist clusters. Emphasis is placed on the need to develop the regulatory legal framework for the clusters, the need for their innovation and investment support.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Purpose - The changes caused by economic and technological development are present in all sectors of an advanced industrial society. The educational sector as such is not exempt from such changes; on the contrary, changes in the educational sector are becoming necessary. The challenges in transforming the entire educational system affect all segments of the educational process, including curricula, learning materials, teaching practices, and educational stakeholders. The hospitality industry, as a part of the overall economy based on human resources due to its specificity, is different from other industries and as such has a direct impact on the design of the educational model for future hospitality employees. Methodology - This paper aims to identify trends in higher education institutions for the hospitality industry, with a particular focus on analyzing the top 15 QS ranking world universities. The focus of the paper is to identify the challenges faced by higher education institutions specializing in the field of hospitality education and to analyze the educational programs that respond to the challenges and needs of the market. For the analysis of the collected data, the study used a qualitative methodology, employing a summative content analysis. Findings - The analysis of the educational system of established universities in the field of tourism and hospitality provides insight into specific teaching models for the hospitality industry. The results of the research showed that the focus of universities is in the segment of a tailor-made specialization, an internship in high-quality hospitality brands, and subjects that have foundations in hospitality, management, food and beverage, and marketing. Contribution - The research findings of this paper provide insight into the direction of further innovation of degree programs specializing in the hospitality field.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Medical tourism is a growing economic sector with a $272.70 billion market. In the last ten years, especially after the Pandemic, the health tourism market has increased for Estland with tourists from developed countries. Germans, French people, citizens from the US, and the UK are interested in medical services after the border with low-cost medical care, high technologies, and specialized health workers. This study analyzes factors pushing health migrants to travel abroad: working conditions, salary revenue, poor life conditions, lower education system, and desire to have opportunities to gain better experience, and specialization. This study shows the migration source countries, international agreements, and mutual arrangements that manage this phenomenon. The research methodology is a literature review. The study's goal is to analyze the situation of migration health workers from Romania and the Republic of Moldova and to respond to questions: how this phenomenon affects the public healthcare sector, what is their desire, and is this a national or international problem? The globalization era is an opportunity for health workers to choose quickly actual job requirements, obtain a higher work position, and receive professional reviews and skills evaluation. Artificial intelligence, Virtual reality, and the Metaverse are the instruments proposed to resolve this phenomenon by the government. The migration of healthcare workers is not just an economic strategy for authorities. World Health Organization proposes a reform for Romania and the Republic of Moldova according to educational and social instruments. Today this phenomenon is influenced by refugees from Ukraine.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Barrier free tourism is increasingly getting a greater attention by the tourist industry, not just for the added value given to the touristic experience, but because of the difference and specialization on a wide market share that the Spanish touristic sector has not been able to fully take advantage of yet. Following this idea, the National Plan for Smart cities (Plan Nacional de Ciudades Inteligentes) stands up for smart touristic destinations where innovative technologies should play an important role to improve accessibility. The development of the mobile phone App “Barrier Free-Valencia” intents to offer a useful tool to walk through the city of Valencia guaranteeing a 100% barrier free route. The methodology used for the development is based on the combination of a systematic field work, using free access information provided by the Municipality of Valencia, and calculations based on the Dijkstra algorithm (1959) implemented on a GIS software. To calculate the route, it is used the impedance or crossing difficulty concept where the different urban barriers and low comfort situation areas are identified. The main data used are: presence of lower sidewalks, path narrowing, slopes, steps and noisy pavement. After this data has been identified, the routes are divided into accessible, passable, and not accessible. It is necessary to work on the idea of creating representative single line grids of sidewalks and, therefore, of real paths followed by urban citizens. By doing so, more data can be collected to build a complete Smart City grid. The development of Apps such as Barrier Free will help on the evolution towards more inclusive cities. An idea that is the basic line of our investigation.

Purpose – The main purpose of this research was to analyze the position of vocational education in Croatia from the perspective of tourism high school teaching staff. The main objective was to propose state regulations to limit the access of non-professionals to specialized jobs in tourism, and to enhance the status of tourism vocational education. Methodology – Desk research was focused on the analysis of available body of knowledge related to tourism employment and tourism education. A structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data. The research sample included 104 tourism high school vocational teachers in Croatia. Descriptive statistics were used for data evaluation. Findings – Although Croatia heavily relies on the economic benefits from tourism, its performance is often diminished due to a labor market mismatch in terms of specialization, knowledge and skills. This research determined that Croatia has a well-established and prospective high school education system for tourism, but lacks of image among employers and young generations. The state market regulation of tourism employment and the improvement of 'dual education system' of tourism education were strongly supported by respondents. Contribution – The theoretical contribution of this research is to determine long-term gaps in matching tourism education outcomes and tourism employment practices. Empirical contribution is derived from the analysis of attitudes and perception of tourism high school teaching staff on how to improve tourism education and employment practice. Practical contribution is in providing empirically proved policy recommendations, while social contribution can be recognized in promoting tourism vocational education and professionalism to young generations.

The purpose of this paper is to apply new methodologies to analyze the history of and future opportunities for structural transformation in the Caribbean. We first look at the composition of exports from the Caribbean, and show that the region is specialized in relatively unsophisticated, "poor-country" export products, and this is not simply a consequence of their small size or specialization in tourism and financial services.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study assesses the Philippine Retirement Authority's (PRA) current program and business model. Established by Executive Order No. 1037 in 1985, the PRA aims to position the Philippines as a prime retirement destination, contributing to the country's social and economic development. Utilizing GAP and SWOT analyses, the research explores potential enhancements to PRA’s business strategy, guided by Porter's competitive advantage model and Prahalad and Hamel's core competencies framework. In addition, the analysis supplements the analytical frameworks with a strategic agenda that covers a discussion of five strategic dimensions: 1. PRA's goal; 2. PRA’s source of market or competitive advantage; 3. PRA's major source of core competence; 4. PRA's current business model; and 5. PRA's strategies in specific management functions. The findings reveal PRA's commendable financial performance from 1986 to 2021, achieving fiscal autonomy in 1993. As of December 31, 2021, the agency reported significant financial metrics per retiree. The GAP analysis suggests two pathways for performance improvement: intensifying efforts to meet targets or recalibrating targets to align with available resources, with the SWOT analysis supporting the latter. Recommendations include enhancing SRRV benefits with a focus on efficient processing and registration, developing a medium-term plan detailing corporate goals and necessary initiatives, promoting a brand identity synonymous with exceptional customer service and the warmth of Philippine hospitality, collaborating with the Department of Tourism to support retirement promotion, and adopting a specialization model to better serve targeted customer segments and regions.
