Abstract:
With the development of tourism, people's demand and concern for tourist transportation are increasing. Integrating expressway resources into the tourism transportation network is the current trend and direction of expressway network planning. With the rapid development of the Internet, people can easily get the information resources they want, but at the same time, the problem of information overload also arises. The depth of highway access is insufficient, there is a lack of systematic consideration of tourist resources in the area, a systematic tourism network has not been developed, and tourism resources are inaccessible. These issues have stifled regional tourism's fast growth, necessitating research into the convergence of tourist resource development and highway network optimization. The building of highway layouts and the growth of the tourist sector have reached a point where they interact and impact one another, and the degree of this contact has progressively risen. However, there is still a significant disparity in the degree of cooperation across areas. This paper considers the collaborative optimization of tourism resource development and highway network optimization, analyzes its impact on traffic volume distribution, introduces the two-level programming model of collaborative optimization, and determines that the goal of the upper model is to maximize social net income. It also considers the collaborative optimization of tourism resource development and highway network optimization on the basis of clarifying the game relationship between planning decision-makers and traffic travel and considers the collaborative optimization of tourism resource development and highway network optimization on the basis of in-depth learning. For the total investment of tourism construction projects, the time cost saved by highway network optimization, and the total tourism revenue, the lower-level model aims to minimize the travel time of a single user. This paper shows that the layout planning of the regional tourism highway network from the perspective of tourism resources can improve the accessibility of regional high-quality tourism resources and meet the requirements of the coordinated development of highway tourism and resources.

Abstract:
There is a worldwide trend of increasing interest in cultural tourism products, and the World Tourism Organization predicts that the cultural tourism market will be one of the five leading segments of the tourism market in the future. Local culture is an important feature of a tourist destination, and thanks to tourism, it becomes a flywheel of social and economic development. Cultural tourism is focused on cultural attractions and activities as the main reasons for traveling, and the participation of cultural tourism in all tourist movements is increasing. Thus in France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, income from tourists whose primary goal is to get acquainted with cultural goods and cultural achievements exceed 1/3 of total tourism revenues. Starting from the above, this paper focuses on the analysis of the key problems of the development of cultural tourism and the possibilities of enriching tourist destinations with cultural offer through the development of a cultural product, as a way of increasing the value of a comprehensive tourist offer and attracting a large number of tourists. It concludes with a brief analysis of the key issues for this field of cultural policy in the Republic of Serbia and recommendations on how to make a tourist attraction from a cultural resource and to achieve greater satisfaction of the tourists with their stay in a destination.

Abstract:
Cultural tourism is gradually showing a rapid development momentum, but there are also some corresponding problems in the use and development of cultural resources and management mode, so how to maintain the sustainable development of cultural tourism resources and environment on the basis of economic stability is particularly important. Therefore, this paper takes the tea culture resources of Hunan Province as the research object, adopts the methods of questionnaire survey, and conducts a sample survey on the tourists in Hunan of 2020 Oct. It also analyzes the types of tourists’ travel behavior, the reasons for tourists’ travel, the most important tourist attraction elements, tourists’ satisfaction, awareness of tea culture tourism, and awareness of Hunan Province. The value evaluation of cultural resource development, the evaluation of cultural tourism resources in Hunan Province, the evaluation of cultural tourism commodities and the shortcomings in tourism are analyzed. The results show that tourists pay more attention to the comprehensive experience, cultural resources, and environment; they are willing to learn more about cultural resource tourism; at the same time, they also reflect that there are insufficient development efforts, backward supporting facilities, and lack of relevant talents and laws in cultural resource tourism. Finally, this paper puts forward the sustainable utilization and management mode of cultural resources. By comparing before and after the trip, whether the respondents are “willing” to further understand the tea culture, 26.6% of them are “unwilling” before the trip and 73.4% are “willing,” and 12.2% are “unwilling” after the trip and 87.8% of them choose “willing.”

Abstract:
The classic concept of a tourist offer belongs to the past. Today, tourists are motivated by visiting interesting destinations, rich with offer founded on autochthonous elements valorization. Culture, being a basic offer element in cultural tourism, should become a part of a so called creative tourism as well, in which a tourist – visitor is not only a tourist attractions passive observer, but an active participant. Croatian tourist product indicates surfeiting and a certain «tiredness», so the classic forms of tourist offer, already behind us, have lost their key role of attracting tourist masses. On the other hand, Croatia overflows with valuable tourist resources, many of which bear a stamp of autochthtony. Such resources, allowing for some minor efforts, can be presented to tourists through adequate tourist valorization. However, the succesfull inclusion of those valuable resources in tourist offer is to be preceded by raising public awareness (and self-confidence) of our country culture wealth. Music heritage is just one of the elements in Croatian tourism resource richness. One of the Croatian music heritage basic characteristics is the fact that each Croatian region is distinguished by a specific, characteristic music heritage. That is applicable to Istria as well, while the Istrian music scale, unique in the world, suggested for inclusion in UNESCO List of World Heritage, deserves a «special treatment». In this work, the authors point to the necessity of tourist offer enrichment by the inclusion of cultural resources concerned with music, particularly in the case of Istrian region. That should be achieved through primarily organized offer of specific cultural itineraries, «Istrian music Paths», as a kind of «mix» of this cultural tourism form and other selective tourism types. Moreover, in work is stated that tourism, through self-resources valorization, will retroactively have an impact on this valuable cultural resource preserving.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to consider the features of tourist and recreational resources of Japan and to identify those types of tourism that are most developed on their basis. Method. The study was conducted in three stages: 1) preparation of the study (problem statement); 2) the stage of accumulation of scientific information: bibliographic search of scientific information, study of documents, main sources of the topic, compiling a review of the literature, the choice of aspects of research; 3) information processing (methods: comparative, statistical, scientific systematization); 4) analysis of the received information (interpretation of results, formulation of the general conclusions). Results. Tourist activity, as the main form of recreation, belongs to the types of social practice with a pronounced resource orientation. It is determined that tourist resources include everything that can be used to meet the needs of tourists. Three main groups of tourist and recreational resources of Japan are identified and analyzed: natural-recreational, cultural-historical and socio-economic resources. Within the group of natural and recreational resources, the geographical location, relief, climate, water, forest, flora and fauna resources and objects of the nature reserve fund are characterized. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the uniqueness of natural and recreational resources is due to the insularity of the country. Based on the analysis of cultural and historical resources, it was found that although Japan accepts Western standards of living, as a cultural region, it continues to be a unique and inimitable phenomenon. The high socio-economic standard of living has made the Japanese one of the most traveling nations in the world. The main socio-economic resources that contribute to the development of tourism in Japan – the level of socio-economic development of the country, demographic and infrastructural resources. It is determined that Japan has unique tourist and recreational resources that determine the specifics of its tourism product. She skillfully attracts them to improve the country's image in the world tourism market. It was found that the country attracts a large number of tourists with exotic nature, cultural monuments and a high level of infrastructure development, especially transport accessibility. It is determined that taking into account the trends of world tourism and the uniqueness of available tourist and recreational resources in Japan, the following types of tourism have developed: health, medical, environmental, skiing, beach, cultural and educational and business. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the modern analysis of the peculiarities of the tourist potential of Japan and the characteristics of the predominant types of tourism. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of using the results of the article, both by travel agencies to form a tourism product and by potential tourists to understand the specifics of recreation in the country, as well as for educational purposes.

Abstract:
Purpose The theoretical framework of this study focuses on the trends towards experiential tourism and new communication channels in the tourist sector. The specific areas of action that are covered in this research work focus on: a definition of experiential tourism, an analysis of markets as a resource of experiential tourism and communication strategies and the use of social media by the markets of Madrid to interact with the new experiential consumer. Design/methodology/approach This paper is arranged as follows: first, a review of the documents on new tourist sector trends towards the demand of experiential tourism, on marketing 2.0 and on social media has been carried out; second, communication strategies of the food markets seen as tourist resources are described herein, including results of the research in the use of social media; and finally, conclusions of the study are developed. Findings According to the conceptual approach and after reviewing the documents cited in this paper, it is possible to conclude that food markets are tourist resources that shall be exploited as “experiential providers” for a market niche that is increasingly demanding and expects to have a “tourist experience”. The present paper contributes to the literature on experiential tourism, including new communication strategies as a tool to contact experiential tourists. Accordingly, an analysis is carried out of a specific product/resource, such as the food markets of Madrid as resources or experiential leisure centers, and a study on product strategies (offer of experiences) and communication strategies on their experiential tourism offer fundamentally based on social media and websites. Research limitations/implications Although this work represents an in-depth study of the food markets analyzed, the research could be extended to other markets or to other cities that are also working with markets as experiential tourism resources, though not in a structured design as in Madrid. Practical implications This work is different from previous studies for several reasons. In the first place, food markets are integrated as elements for the study of experiential tourism as tourist resources, and second, commercial interaction and other types of productive activities in urban centers are considered. In particular, social relations and collaboration between small retailers in markets, their managers and the institutions responsible for tourism management in the city of Madrid are barely analyzed in the literature. This includes the collaboration between public (Madrid City Council), cultural and business institutions (Madrid Fusión and Gastrofestival), hospitality and other businesses (established in the food markets) to promote cultural experiences and historic tourism. Social implications The performed study has several implications for employers and policymakers. As historical, cultural and experiential tourism are growing trends throughout the world, new tourist consumer profiles must be analyzed. There are new groups of tourists looking for unique experiences and “local” activities, eager to visit renovated urban historical centers with a developed experiential leisure offer. This tourist activity facilitates the rebirth of the traditional food markets and promotes the creation of jobs and new opportunities for traditional businesses as shown in the present case study focused on the markets of Madrid. Originality/value The present paper contributes to the literature on experiential tourism, including new communication strategies as a tool to contact experiential tourists. Accordingly, an analysis is carried out of a specific product/resource, such as the food markets of Madrid as resources or experiential leisure centers, and a study on product strategies (offer of experiences) and communication strategies on their experiential tourism offer fundamentally based on social media and websites. The role played by food markets in the creation of an experiential tourism offer in Madrid and the communication strategies generated by them is described in this research. This study not only sheds light on the changes undergone by the tourist demand, specifically urban tourism but also it helps understand some of the strategies that big tourist cities are implementing in historic centers to reduce the risks of mass tourism.

Abstract:
Tourism is regarded by many countries, particularly resource-poor countries, as a potential stimulus to the economy. Yet tourism, by the nature of the activities involved, is constrained by the natural resource base and infrastructure, and by the pollution and other environmental and social impacts of tourist numbers. Tourism development strategies of national governments have been diverse in the face of this complex relationship between the economic costs and benefits of tourism. This paper examines tourist development based on concepts of open access and renewable natural resources. The experiences of two economies highly dependent on tourism, the Maldives and Nepal, are compared and contrasted. Although these countries offer very different attractions to tourists, they are faced with similar problems in terms of adverse environmental impacts of tourism. The dominant impacts in both areas are those associated with solid waste disposal and water resources, compounded by the depletion of natural resources. Both countries are currently employing 'dispersal' techniques to overcome the adverse impacts of tourism, but such strategies do not address the fundamental problem of maintaining tourism revenues whilst minimizing environmental damage. Even if an ecological carrying capacity can be defined, the experiences of these two countries indicate that impacts on local communities may well exceed so-called cultural carrying capacity.

Abstract:
[From the introduction]:The purpose of this dissertation is to study the development of tourism in the town of Bakau, in The Gambia, to place its development within the general context of socio-cultural changes in the town, and to study and assess interaction between tourists and residents in Bakau. As my fieldwork for this dissertation developed, the main focus of my research narrowed to a study of the youths in Bakau and their interactions and relations inward to their elders in town and outwards to the tourists with whom many youths have regular contact. A large number of youths in Bakau become beachboys or so-called "bomsas" and in this dissertation I focus on the activities of the "bomsas" who assume the role of culture brokers, acting as mediators and innovators in town. I also focus on the level and the types of interaction between the tourists who visit Bakau and the "bomsas" and other residents in Bakau. Finally I consider how the residents in Bakau view tourism and tourists in their town.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the relationship between tourism policy, its formulation and implementation, at a national and regional level, and human resource concerns within tourism. The thesis includes detailed literature reviews in two main areas, i) tourism policy formulation and implementation and ii) human resource issues in relation to the tourism/hospitality industries. Through the execution of two surveys of national tourism organisations, the study considers a) the extent to which employment and related human resource determinants shape wider tourism policies; b) how human resource policy, planning and implementation are managed within tourism; c) the specific role of national tourism organisations within the development of policy and implementation strategies for human resource matters within tourism, and changes that have occurred in the role since a previous WTO study in 1975; and d) mechanisms that can be implemented to integrate human resource concerns more closely with mainstream tourism policy development. The study reports considerable fragmentation in the management of human resources, within tourism, both in terms of policy and the implementation functions. As a result, the area is seen as peripheral to the mainstream concerns of most tourism industries, is accorded low status and does not receive the same attention or support as related product and marketing concerns. A conceptual framework is proposed, which is designed to assist in the creation of an integrated approach to policy development and planning for human resources within tourism. The framework is developed in the context of a case study, based on Malaysia.

Eftychiou, Evi. "Power and tourism : negotiating identity in rural Cyprus." Thesis, University of Hull, 2013. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:10420.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the disputed identity of rural Cyprus. It is an ethnographic study on tourism that argues that the power of western hegemony, not only defines but also reverses the definition of ‘modern’ identity in the cultural setting of Cyprus in a way that its authority is maintained and legitimized. By focusing on identity politics and tourism in the Troodos mountainous region, this study examines the conflict between native elites and locals over the definition of modernity. In the postcolonial setting of the 1960s, native elites reproduced the western vision of ‘development’, ‘progress’ and ‘modernity’, as expressed in Europe after the Second World War. The invented concept of ‘modernity’ was introduced by native elites and was translated into policies and strategies towards the achievement of rapid ‘progress’ and the development of mass tourism in the coastal zones of Cyprus. As a result, the Cypriot authorities neglected Troodos mountainous region as a low--‐priority area and its residents were exposed as underdeveloped, backward peasants. The economic boom of the 1970s and 1980s, provided to rural residents the opportunity to, finally achieve ‘progress’, by reproducing the mass tourism model. In the meantime though, the native elites reversed the definition of modernity, which reproduced the western principles of sustainable development, environmental and cultural heritage protection. The ‘underdeveloped’ region of Troodos, was now identified as ideal for the implementation of environment and heritage conservation projects, with the ultimate goal of developing small scale, cultural tourism in the area. In this context, native elites appropriate material tradition, in other words elements that were once classified as evidence of backwardness, in order to achieve ‘modernity’. The denial of locals to reproduce the new paradigm of development and their persistence to strive for material modernity left them once again exposed as ‘backward’, ‘ignorant’ and ‘parvenus’ peasants.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis aims to identify the main factors that significantly affect tourism demand for Egypt. Both time series data and panel data are used to model and forecast tourism demand for Egypt from all origins, as well as three individual regions of origin, including Europe, Arab and the Americas. The methodological and econometric approaches introduced in this thesis proceed from the simple to the more complex structure to obtain more reliable estimation. First, we estimate tourism demand for Egypt using the co-integration and error correction (CI/ECM) approach based on a single equation, followed by using a system of equations approach over the period 1970-2009. All the estimated econometric methods, in addition to two univariate time series methods, are used to generate ex-post forecasting for all the models over the period 2005-2009. The preferred method is used in producing ex-ante forecasting of future tourism demand for Egypt for the period 2010-2014. Panel co-integration techniques are also used to estimate tourism demand models over the period 1980-2009. Finally, the causality relationship between tourism demand and its economic determinants is estimated based on panel data analysis, which may provide more guidance for policy makers in Egypt. The results indicate that tourism demand for Egypt is found to be co-integrated with its fundamental determinants at the 1% significance level, with a high adjustment speed toward the steady state equilibrium. The importance of long-run income for all tourists from different nationalities is affirmed; with an elastic demand for non-Arab tourists. Price is also an important determinant, with a different effect in each originating region. It takes less than unity value for all tourists, except the Arab. Tunisia is found to be the most significant alternative to Egypt, with a complementary effect for Europe and the Americas tourists, but substitutability effect for Arab tourists. Hotel capacity is a significant and positive factor for all nationalities, except the Americas. Globalization is important in all models; it has a positive effect for all non-Arab nationalities. Political instability has a significant and negative effect, with the most effect on the Americas. All the determinants Granger cause tourist arrivals in the long run, but globalization and hotel capacity are of great importance with a bidirectional effect with tourist arrivals. Ex-post forecasting results show that the CI/ECMs outperform the other time series methods and produce highly accurate forecasts. The number of arrivals and nights from all origin markets is likely to increase in absolute terms (2010-2014), but with slower growth than recent trend.

Bennett, Jonathan William Peter. "The regulation of tourism business activity in the transitional Vietnamese economy." Thesis, University of Hull, 2005. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:5636.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the extent to which regulation theory provides an appropriate theoretical framework for analysing the development of capitalist economic relations and activities in transitional economies. The investigation uses secondary sources and information gained from interviews conducted with tourism business owners and managers in three Vietnamese cities: Hanoi, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City. I find that through its recognition of firstly, the path dependent nature of regulatory processes and secondly, national and local scales as key sites in the regulation of global economic processes, regulation theory can be utilised in analysing the development of capitalist economic relations and activities in transitional economies. Nevertheless, the findings in this thesis also challenge and offer new perspectives on a number of the key concepts contained within regulation theory. Firstly, my findings illustrate how political imperatives play a much more significant role in the regulation of economic activity than acknowledged in regulation theory. In Vietnam, as a way of maintaining the state as the leading institution in the Vietnamese socioeconomy, the central Vietnamese state has historically ceded a significant degree of regulatory control over economic space to the local state. As a consequence, the local state has traditionally constituted the key institution regulating economic activity in local space. In the transitional Vietnamese economy, I illustrate that political imperatives are continuing to inform the practices of the central state in regulating nascent capitalist economic processes. I find that this is chiefly being articulated through the informal regulatory practices and capacity of the central state as it seeks to mediate capitalist economic relations between supra and sub-national actors and institutions. This runs counter to assertions within regulation theory where the regulatory power of the central state is chiefly derived from its capacity to enact a formal framework of regulatory forms to guide global economic processes throughout national space. Secondly, I highlight the importance of the social regulation of economic activity and how in Vietnam the cultivation of social ties with local state officials has historically constituted an important institutional mechanism regulating economic activity in local spaces. In the transitional Vietnamese economy, I find that among private tourism business owners interviewed in Hanoi, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City, the cultivation of social ties with local state officials has continued to play an important role in the establishment and running of their businesses. Out of these findings, I adapt the conceptual framework provided in regulation theory and build a more appropriate analytical framework that can be utilised in examining how regulatory processes and relations are evolving in regulating capitalist economic activity in transitional economies.

Hadjikakou, Michalis. "Measuring the impact of tourism on water resources : alternative frameworks." Thesis, University of Surrey, 2014. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/805395/.

Full text
Abstract:
Tourism is a highly important and diverse economic sector. All tourism activity relies directly and indirectly on water resources. While direct water use in hotels, golf courses and other tourism establishments is relatively well researched, the more substantial volumes of water used indirectly to produce goods which cater for tourism demand are poorly understood. The thesis develops and tests three innovative approaches as part of its overall aim of comprehensively quantifying total (direct and indirect) water demand and water productivity (water use in relation to economic output) across different tourism products. The first approach is based on the water footprint concept and uses readily available data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the Water Footprint Network. The second approach uses statistical segmentation and secondary tourism expenditure data, along with Environmental Input-Output (EIO) analysis, to create distinct tourist groups whose water use and productivity is subsequently compared. The third approach employs primary survey data along with a novel EIO model, in order to quantify the specific impacts of tourist dietary choices. The water scarce island of Cyprus, a popular tourism destination, serves as the central case study. The contribution of the thesis is primarily methodological, producing three methods of differing complexity thus offering a previously unavailable choice to academics and policy makers. Additionally, the approaches generate results with important theoretical and policy implications. Firstly, when both indirect and direct water use is taken into account, cheaper mass tourism is shown to have a higher water productivity compared to higher-spending tourists. With many destinations currently investing in attracting the latter group, this finding is of immediate relevance. Secondly, the findings highlight the importance of obtaining accurate information on dietary preferences in order to better manage the supply chain of key products which account for a significant amount of water consumption.

Semler, Keith R. "Development of a Karst Tourism Management Index to Assess Tourism-Driven Degradation of Protected Karst Sites." TopSCHOLAR®, 2019. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/3143.

Full text
Abstract:
The intent of this research was to create and evaluate a karst tourism management index (KTMI). This index is intended to be a new management tool designed to quantify environmental disturbances caused specifically by tourism activities in karst regions, particularly show caves and springs. In an effort to assess the effectiveness of the index as a management tool in karst terrains, after development, the index was applied to six case study sites. A review of the management policies at each study site was conducted with the use of standard policy critique methods and semistructured interviews with managers at the study sites. After interviews were completed, the newly created index was applied to the study areas with the aid of park land managers. Including land managers in the application process allowed for active land managers to provide more meaningful feedback on potential improvements to the KTMI to ensure the most universally applicable and thoroughly field-tested index tool was created. Upon application and continual refinement of the index to the six study sites, a new data-driven management tool to measure disturbances to karst terrains by tourism was developed. The KTMI consist of an Overall Score category that is broken down into the two main categories of Management and Tourism. The KTMI contains 168 indicators that all need to be scored individually to obtain results, with Management containing 100 of the indicators and Tourism containing the other 68 indicators.

In Creative tourism: activating cultural resources and engaging creative travellers. CABI, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/9781789243536.0009.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract In Portugal, gastronomy is also seen as a valued asset that can enrich the tourist experience and add value to the territories, differentiating them (Turismo de Portugal, 2017). In a mass tourism destination like the Portuguese region of the Algarve, a major sea and sun destination, gastronomy can contribute to a more sustainable tourism, helping to diversify the Algarve's attraction base and to reduce tourism seasonality. The satisfaction of tourists with the gastronomy experience in the Algarve was studied some years ago and the results show that it depends on three main determinants: quality and price, gastronomy, and atmosphere. The evaluation showed that satisfaction 'was very much related with gastronomy related factors, including local courses, originality and exoticness, and the presentation of food and staff. Quality, and price were also found to be an important influence on satisfaction although to a lesser extent than gastronomy' (Correia et al., 2008, p. 174). Atmosphere was considered a less important factor.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter explores how creative tourism can be applied as a strategy for decolonization, inclusion, and participation. Creative tourism is about engaging tourists in activities that stimulate them to use their creative potential (Runco and Acar, 2012) and confidence (Kelley and Kelley, 2013) in a cultural tourism setting. Creative tourism can occur through either total immersion in cultural activities, for example singing, craft production, painting, or through less interactive roles, such as being spectators in a concert, museum, or more informal cultural settings, for example, community theatres or cultural events.

Abstract:
Tourism in protected natural areas is one of the main economic drivers of rural economies in Europe, and Spain is the European country with the highest number of protected areas awarded as sustainable destinations by the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas. The involvement of both local businesses and tourists is vital to the effective management of sustainable tourism, and social media is increasingly becoming a relevant tool to this task. Taking these considerations into account, this chapter has two goals: first is to examine the online activities performed by tourists in Facebook pages of local tourist businesses, aiming to enhance customer engagement with sustainable tourism; second is to perform a comparative analysis on the impact and degree of engagement achieved of firms from different Spanish regions. Findings will contribute significantly to our understanding of the influence of social media in fostering citizen engagement with sustainable tourism.

Abstract:
The striving for achieving a more even development of Bulgarian tourism both in time and in territorial terms makes the topic of the report especially relevant. Although widespread, anthropogenic tourist resources are not evenly distributed throughout Bulgaria. The purpose of the paper is not only to examine the unevenness of their territorial location, but also to indicate the reasons for this, as well as the reflection of this fact on the tourism industry. The analysis is at the level of administrative areas. The areas that are presented with dignity in terms of sites and events (anthropogenic tourist resources) are the cultural centers of our country. Accordingly, they are most attractive to tourists. The data reviewed in the paper show that the tourism industry of the districts that make full use of their anthropogenic tourism resources is more competitive than that of most of the other districts.

In 2020 International Conference on Resources Management. Koya University, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.14500/icrm2020.gen293.

Full text
Abstract:
Tour guides are considered a significant part of the critical player in tourism development and experience. The tour guide's role in the tourism sector differs according to its type, importance, characteristics, and location. Besides, the person who is guiding a group of people (tourists) may significantly impact attracting tourists and developing the tourism sector through the role and characteristics they played and practice during their tours. Therefore, this research aims to examine tour guides' role in developing the tourism sector: from managers' perspectives of travel and tourism companies operating in Erbil. The researchers used a survey questionnaire as a data collection tool; however, the survey sample includes 122 managers randomly selected from different tourism companies to reply to the survey questions. The conceptual scheme and hypotheses are established that emphasize the correlation and effect among the research variables; the hypotheses are tested using SPSS V.25. The research reached some conclusions; most significant, the research found a positive relationship and effect between tour guides and developing tourism.

The article presents the resources for business tourism in Sofiya and Plovdiv. These events are described in the "Catalogue of fairs and exhibitions in Bulgaria". In Sofia, such events are held at the Inter Expo Center, the Central Department Store, the National Palace of Culture, the Universiade Hall and Sofia Tech Park, while in Plovdiv they are organized only at the International Fair. The article uses the terms exhibition day, when a fair or exhibition is held and calendar day when one or more exhibitions are held in the city. Intensity interval is the ratio between the exhibition days and the calendar days by rounding to the second decimal place and it can be explained as the number of exhibitions that residents (visitors, tourists) of (in) a city can visit in one day.

Abstract:
The subject of the paper is human resource management during the pandemic. The authors highlighted two issues: the influence of human resource management on business results in tourism and the impact of COVID-19 on labor law, psychological and interpersonal relationships in organizations dealing with tourism. The scientific goal is to confirm the hypothetical assumption that the COVID-19 pandemic limited and modified activities related to human resources management in tourism in emergency conditions. The paper uses the general scientific statistical and comparative method and method of document content analysis. The end effect of the work is two results: one, that COVID-19 affects the quality and quantity of human resource management in tourism, and the other, that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduces the satisfaction of basic tourism needs and requires the involvement of more institutions to preserve the satisfaction and safety of tourism employees and users of tourist services. The ultimate purpose of the paper is to harmonize the Labor Law regulations in the conditions of mass pandemics.

Abstract:
Ajara Autonomous Republic, both within the country and in the world tourist market, has always been positioned as a maritime tourist destination. However, over recent years diversification of tourist products and appealing new market segments have become one of the main priorities of the tourism development strategy of Ajara Autonomous Republic. As a result, the government is creating an appropriate tourist infrastructure, especially in rural areas to support developing such tourist products as adventure and eco-tourism. Adventure tourism can deliver significant benefits at the local level and it is a developing segment in Ajara. Creating adventure tourism products requires integration of various interdependent services. A tourism value chain is defined as a system that describes the cooperation of private and state sectors in providing resources, which creates costs and adds value through various processes and delivers final products to visitors. The purpose of the research was to determine weak links in the value chain and creating a comprehensive value chain model to form the competitive adventure tourism product. The research involved all actors, which operate in the tourism sector. Based on the results of the survey, in the value chain, the food link turned out to be the weakest, whereas the accommodation with the highest share was distinguished in the visitor spending structure. Overall, the cost of the adventure tour will be affordable for both international and domestic tourists. At this stage, government support and participation are crucial in the formation of adventure tourism infrastructure. Through using the case study and qualitative research methods, we tried to identify challenges to the growth of adventure tourism in Ajara and developed recommendations to overcome these challenges.

Abstract:
The relevance of the study is determined by the need to improve the application of Internet marketing in the management and distribution of travel companies, which would increase efficiency in their management. The aim of the study is to identify the specifics of Internet marketing, as well as the resources needed by travel companies to improve it to achieve positive changes in management and distribution. The study proves that the effective application of Internet marketing in the management and distribution of tourism companies, in particular hotel companies, needs to be developed on the basis of established theoretical statements, as well as on the best practices of leading hotel companies in the field. They are adapted according to the specifics of the resource provision of selected tourist sites in a specific tourist area and location.

Full text
Abstract:
Tourism business development perspectives mostly depend on the level of infrastructure. Tourism infrastructure includes a group of industries which provides passive tourism balance. It has its own resources: natural, recreational, production assets - service enterprises, personnel, relations with other sectors of economy, providing accommodation, feeding, recreation, information and transport services for tourists. Tourism infrastructure contributes to the adequate functioning of tourist’s leisure. Despite all efforts to develop tourism in Kyrgyzstan, good results of its development are not yet observed, the share of tourism in GDP still remains very low. Tourism infrastructure is developing very poorly. Today, tourism rests solely on natural beauty, only beach tourism remains developed, in recent years, recreation at ski resorts has become more or less popular. Taking into account all the above, in this article we will try to assess the current state of development of the republic’s tourism infrastructure, identify the main problems inhibiting the development of quality tourist services and identify the main directions for the development of tourism infrastructure in the future. Creating a quality level of tourism infrastructure, in our opinion, is one of the factors for increasing the share of tourism in the GDP of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Full text
Abstract:
Groundwater resources development and the threat of future drought in Garfield County, southwestern Utah, prompted a study of groundwater quality and quantity in the environs of Bryce Canyon National Park and Bryce Canyon City in Johns and Emery Valleys. Water quality, water quantity, and the potential for water-quality degradation are critical elements determining the extent and nature of future development in the valley. The community of Bryce Canyon City is an area of active tourism and, therefore, of potential increase in growth (likely from tourism-related development). Groundwater exists in Quaternary valley-fill and bedrock aquifers (the Tertiary Claron Formation and Cretaceous sandstone). Increased demand on drinking water warrants careful land-use planning and resource management to preserve surface and groundwater resources of Johns and Emery Valleys and surrounding areas that may be hydrologically connected to these valleys including Bryce Canyon National Park.

Full text
Abstract:
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. The Mesoamerican Reef contains the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. However, its health is threatened, so there is a need for a management and sustainable conservation. Key to this is knowing the economic value of the ecosystem. “Mainstreaming the value of natural capital into policy decision-making is vital” The value of environmental and natural resources reflects what society is willing to pay for a good or service or to conserve natural resources. Conventional economic approaches tended to view value only in terms of the willingness to pay for raw materials and physical products generated for human production and consumption (e.g. fish, mining materials, pharmaceutical products, etc.). As recognition of the potential negative impacts of human activity on the environment became more widespread, economists began to understand that people might also be willing to pay for other reasons beyond the own current use of the service (e.g. to protect coral reefs from degradation or to know that coral reefs will remain intact in the future). As a result of this debate, Total Economic Value (TEV) became the most widely used and commonly accepted framework for classifying economic benefits of ecosystems and for trying to integrate them into decision-making. This report estimates the economic value of the following goods and services provided by the MAR's coral reefs: Tourism & Recreation, Fisheries, Shoreline protection. To our knowledge, the inclusion of non-use values in the economic valuation of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System is novel, which makes the study more comprehensive.

Abstract:
Water is our most valuable natural resource, and is used to support the demands of industry, agriculture, hydroelectric power generation, and municipalities. Water also sustains Montana’s booming recreation and tourism economy and maintains the diverse freshwater ecosystems that provide natural goods and services and promote human well-being. As our population continues to grow, and the collective demand for water increases, it is imperative that we carefully assess how our water is used, as well as how changes in water distribution, management, and governance are likely to influence its availability in the future. This is especially important in the context of a changing climate.
