Conditions For Development Of Tourism Research Articles

섬 관광개발의 측정척도에 관한 연구

This study started from the recognition that islands should be developed differently from the mainland because of their specific characteristics such as isolation, narrowness, and being surrounded by the sea. Studies on island tourism have been conducted on the tourism development stage, management model, competitiveness indicators, island image, island selection attributes, experience quality, and revisitation. However, there are few studies on small island tourism development. The purpose of this study is to develop an island tourism development measurement scale to evaluate the conditions of tourism development according to the conditions of the island area, to evaluate the appropriate direction of tourism development, and to apply it to the islands around Jeju Island to examine its applicability. Based on the previous studies on the scales of tourism development related to islands, appropriate scale items for island tourism development were derived and the reliability and validity of the scales were verified by analyzing the results of the questionnaire survey. In this process, factor analysis was conducted using SPSS. The results of this study can be used as basic data for tourism development in small island areas due to lack of research on island tourism development..

A. Sahirova, Development of recreational - tourist potential of the regions of Ukraine.

The article is of a survey nature. Tourism is a sign of the level of socio-economic development of the country and its separate regions. The more developed and stable is the economy of the country, the more stable the position is occupied by the national market of tourist services. The article emphasizes the importance of the regional market of tourist services as an important factor of socio - economic development in the region. The wide range of functions performed by tourism makes it possible to use it as an effective tool for stimulating socio-economic growth at macro and micro level management. The functions of tourism are manifested in the territories of specific regions, and the possibilities of its development are determined by the conditions of these regions. Therefore, the consideration of tourism as an instrument of socio-economic development is particularly relevant from the point of view of the regional approach. For Ukraine, the regional approach is extremely important due to the large territory and the substantial differentiation of regions in terms of the nature of the conditions of tourism development. The main problems of tourism development in Ukraine are also indicated. The ways and directions necessary for the long-term development of tourism at the regional level are considered. The basic principles of state regulation by regional policy are defined. The necessity of coordinating and ensuring interests of all subjects of the market of tourist services is emphasized, the need for development and implementation of effective tools for stimulation of regional development, establishment of international cooperation.

Development of Tourist Traffic in the Regions of the European Union in 2000–2015 – A Spatial and Temporal Analysis

Abstract Tourism is a significant branch of the service sector in the economies of the European Union. The ever-growing role of tourism ‒ as a result of wage increases and the prolongation of free time ‒ is reflected in many studies. For selected countries and regions characterized by appropriate conditions for tourism development and often accompanied by the lack of other developed sectors of the economy, this is an alternative, for others it complements the service offering. In each case, this phenomenon is worth investigating. The aim of this article is to identify similarities and differences in the tourist development of individual regions of the European Union, taking into account selected factors determining these differences. The study uses a space-time model estimated using GRETL and Eviews. EUROSTAT data for 265 regions at NUTS2 level (without oversea French territories) for 2000‒2015 were used based on availability for selected areas. In addition to the data on tourism intensity, the data on the wealth of the population and their demographic characteristics were taken into account. The results should be helpful in developing regional tourism development strategies.

Thermal springs and health tourism - the analysis of the meteorological parameters

In the modern conditions of tourism development, thermal springs are widely presented as they perform recreational functions. Thermal springs are becoming popular tourist attractions in Russia, while their concentration on Russian territory is rather uneven. In comparison with other countries, where thermal springs play a leading role and represent a dynamically growing recreational and tourist segment, in Russia this segment is still an insignificant part of national tourism. In our research, we studied natural conditions of the territories where thermal springs are located, as well as their quality and convenience for people. We also analyzed the regime of meteorological parameters of the territories of thermal springs located in the Ural Federal District for the period 2015-2017. The analysis of the territory showed that the most comfortable climatic conditions are the characteristic of the southwestern part of the district, which comprises the thermal springs located in the Chelyabinsk region and Sverdlovsk region.

Water supply in households and conditions for tourism development in Serbia

The global structural change, together with "the green revolution", caused the economic growth to be based on the service sector today, instead on the traditional economic sectors. The main focus of this paper is on the factors that affect the decisions of households in Serbia to participate in the tourism industry in the context of the sustainable development. In particular, a significant portion of the analysis is devoted to the constraints that can be induced by inadequate drinking water supply and its quality in households. These factors can be considered the main limitations to those households that decide to provide accommodation and food services to the tourists in their local touristreceiver communities. The empirical analysis is based on survey data that describe conditions in the households, whereas the econometric framework is employed in order to determine structural relationships. The null hypothesis that drinking water supply and quality do not affect the likelihood of the household participating in the tourism industry is tested and accepted based on the probit model estimates. The difference between the public urban and local water supply systems that provide drinking water to the households is statistically confirmed, but it does not affect the likelihood of the household participating in the tourism industry.

Role of tourism in the development of peripheral countryside. Case studies of Eastern Moravia and Romanian Banat

As the local agriculture in the era of globalization is often no more competitive, it cannot serve as the main source of local population's income. A relatively intact nature of peripheral regions together with other attractions creates a suitable basis for tourism, which can partly substitute agriculture and bring some capital for local development in rural areas. However, in the Central and Eastern Europe the development of tourism meets serious limits, such as seasonality, insufficient infrastructure, lower quality of human capital, lack of investments etc. The situation is documented on the cases of Eastern Moravia (Bojkovice micro-region) and Czech villages in Romanian Banat. Conditions for tourism development in rural periphery are discussed.
