Analysis of The State of The Tourism Industry in Russia аnd The Direction of Its Development

The purpose of the study. The purpose of the work is to assess the state of the tourism industry using statistical methods, analysis of scientific literature and identification of the main trends and promising directions of its development. The article is devoted to the possibilities of statistical analysis in the conditions of limited statistical information on Russia in relation to the tourism industry.Materials and methods. The following scientific methods are used in the article: analysis of scientific literature, analysis of dynamics and structure, coefficient analysis, correlation and regression analysis, graphical analysis, forecasting of indexes of the tourism industry. The analysis of Russian and foreign literature allowed us to formulate conclusions about modern methods of analysis used to assess the problems of the tourism industry. The analysis of the indexes in dynamics made it possible to identify and describe the main trends in the development of tourist flows, the volume and cost of selling tourist packages. The calculated structure of collective accommodation facilities showed their percentage ratio during the study period and the change in their shares. The use of correlation analysis made it possible to establish the closeness and direction of statistical relationships between individual factors affecting the state of the industry and the volume of tourist trips. A multiple regression model based on indexes characterizing the dynamics of prices for tours sold, the state of the transport sector and the food sector methodology is created. Based on the Box–Jenkins methodology, predictive models were created and medium-term forecasts were calculated for variables characterizing the number of tourist firms and the number of sanatorium-resort organizations and recreation organizations. The initial data for the study were Rosstat data in annual and spatial dimensions for the period 2011–2020.Results. The article highlights the main directions of research in the field of tourism industry, presented in the works of domestic and foreign authors. The foreign approach to its assessment is carried out through evidence-based methods. The research of domestic authors is more focused on the implementation of program-targeted methods and the identification of problems of assessment and prospects for the development of the industry in the Russian Federation. The analysis of the dynamics of inbound and outbound tourist trips showed a tendency to decrease their total number, which is due to the low level of tourist attractiveness, shocks and restrictive measures caused by the SARSCoV-2 pandemic, the tense foreign policy situation. It is established that the most active external tourist flows of the Russian Federation are observed with neighboring countries. Correlation analysis showed the presence of a statistical relationship between the number of trips made with the state of the transport infrastructure and the cost of the tour packages sold. The trend of growth in the implementation of tour packages in Russian destinations and a reduction in their number in foreign destinations, which is due to an increase in the disparity between the average cost of tour packages depending on the destination of the holiday, is established. The carried out regression analysis procedure showed the relationship between the number of tourist packages sold to citizens of the Russian Federation with the variables “average cost of sold tourist packages” and “fleet of aircraft”, which indicates the need to develop transport infrastructure and optimize the cost of recreation. Forecast calculations on the number of travel agencies and sanatorium-resort organizations have shown their decline in the medium term, which indicates the need to take appropriate measures to activate tourism entrepreneurship.Conclusion. Based on the results of the statistical analysis, the analysis of scientific literature and the content of tourism development programs in the Russian Federation, the authors identified common problems and directions of development of the industry. The main problems of the industry are the following: weak tourist attractiveness, insufficient development of tourist and transport infrastructure, lack of accommodation facilities aimed at mass tourists, low quality of domestic accommodation services, and high cost of foreign tours. The priority directions of the development of the domestic tourism business are related to: the introduction of modern digital technologies, active advertising of domestic tourism, optimization of the costs of tourism industry enterprises, activation of state support in difficult economic conditions.

Predictors Influencing the Choice of Master’s Programs in the Tourism Industry

The authors analyzed trends in integration of education, science and business in an industrially developed area. New ways of interaction between universities, research organizations and businesses are proposed especially in the field of tourism industry. The dynamic change in global economic processes entails reform education in this area of study, which from a method of simple reproduction of labor was transformed into a source of growth for economically and socially active population groups capable of acting in a competitive environment. The need to train highly qualified personnel to quickly changing working conditions is a priority for states and organizations, focused on meeting their economic goals. In Kazakhstan, the requirements for university education are increasing. It due to both new conditions on the labor market and the increased role of “lifelong education". The number of people applying for university education is growing. Is growingcompetition between different universities, between universities and other research institutions, between private and public education. Representatives of the business community, in turn, make demands on how they would like to see graduates of Kazakh universities. Business success depends on the ability of employees of firms to quickly restructure their activities in the changing conditions. That is why domestic business is becoming interested in the reform education: it needs specific specialists definitely in tourism area, and it is ready to financially support their training.

Rural Tourism as a Transformative Service of Community Well-Being: A Systematic Literature Review

This study aims to look at the pattern and focus of rural tourism research over the last two decades. How much current research on rural tourism has centered on the position of rural tourism as a transformative service industry, in particular. A rigorous search is conducted in the current scientific literature databases, integrating narrative review and bibliometric research, to evaluate this correlation as well as to assess the effect of rural tourism growth on the various actors in the ecosystem (i.e., local population, local service providers, local authorities, tourists). It also includes a narrative study of clusters of topics under the headings of rural tourism and community well-being. We conducted a systematic thematic and material study of our chosen literature in addition to bibliometric analysis. Finally, a critical analysis of the methodologies used in the field of rural tourism is conducted. Since the connection between tourism growth and local TSR is still being researched, this study uses well-being (and other related terms) as an inclusion criterion for all types of tourism in rural areas. The report also aims to assess research progress on terms related to rural tourism, such as eco-tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, and community-based tourism, from 2010 to 2020. Furthermore, the study examines the relationship between rural tourism and well-being before and after 2010. The choice of 2010 as the turning point reflects the fact that after 2010, the relation between TSR (or wellbeing) and rural tourism becomes more visible. By using title, citations, publication journal and year, author information, keywords (name, countries, and institutions analysis), and author information, this search provides us with an aesthetic nature of our research. This paper set an agenda for future research in the field. Future researchers will get a clear insight about literature gap in the field of tourism industry.

Tourism Industry must benefit from IT&C Hyperautomation

The tourism industry is one of the most significant users of Internet technology, an important communication tool for travelers. The Internet influences travel behavior in a variety of ways and leads to fundamental changes in the structures of the tourism industry in the context of the new era of digital travel. The Covid19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we travel. It is essential in this context that companies in the hospitality sector digitize their business processes to survive in a global ecosystem. Digitalization and innovation are essential for the development of new business models, and there is a growing need for staff with well-defined digital skills. This fully applies to the tourism sector, companies in this industry must invest in staff, to provide opportunities for changing mentalities and work paradigms. This paper analyzes and emphasizes the urgent need to cultivate, understand, implement and use the capabilities of information technologies, which prove their economic and social potential in the field of tourism industry, through a complex process of hyper automation. Intelligent automation of tourism activities, along with increasing the recognition and processing capabilities of various forms of language or visuals, accompanied by a massive migration to the cloud, are just some of the current and future requirements for building smart and safe tourism.

KONTRIBUSI KOMPENSASI DAN JOB DESKRIPSI TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN

One effort that is deemed necessary is to always provide compensation and provide a clear job description so that it will improve employee performance which in turn can increase competitive advantage. The purpose of this study is to analyze and explain the contribution of giving compensation and determining the job description of employee performance. The location of the research was conducted at the Kusuma Agrowisata Hotel, where the selection was based on a study that in the field of tourism industry, the provision of compensation and the preparation of clear job descriptions greatly determine employee performance in particular and company performance in general. Statistical test results between compensation and employee performance obtained a significant value of 0,000. The significant value is still below 0.05, so the variable giving compensation affects the performance of employees. The positive regression coefficient value indicates that if compensation increases, the performance of Kusuma Agrowisata Hotel employees also increases. The level of compensation has a contribution to the value of the decline in employee performance by 0.488 with a proven strong / significant influence between providing compensation to employee performance, so of course this compensation must receive attention from both employees and the company. Job descriptions are a good means of combining talent and can provide innovative solutions to an established approach.

PROBLEMS OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Tourism represents one of few real chances for significant development that Serbia have. Serbia is rich in natural and cultural resources. Great variety of tourism resources concentrated in Serbia provides many possibilities for tourism development. In order for tourism to become one of the main strongholds of Serbian economy, there must be a strategy that will give guidelines for its future development. There are several main problems of Serbian tourism. Biggest one is the lack of traffic infrastructure. Also, Serbia is not very well recognized as attractive tourist destination. Tourist facilities are insufficiently developed. Also, the structure of employees working in the field of tourism industry in Serbia is problematic. The fact that tourists stay in Serbia between three and five days, means that tourists are not very well informed about the possibilities that Serbian tourism offers. Making Serbia globally recognizable as an attractive tourist destination is a task reachable only whit the synergetic effect of all relevant factors in this process.

The impact of the development of the residences in desert ecotourism (Adaptive comparison of Matin Abad residence in Iran and Nights residence in Oman)

Abstract. Deserts are important in nature traveling and can meet emotional, psychological and recreational needs of the tourists. Meanwhile according to the wilderness areas of Iran, history and rich culture of the desert and because this is the main source of income through the country's mortal resources of oil, we can exploit it as the main source of income by correctly plan in the field of tourism industry. In this study, the fundamental question is: how much performance and body of the desert resort make it act successfully in the development of desert ecotourism? Conducted studies through full recognition of the desert resort of Matin Abad in Iran and Nights in Oman (as the national and international sample residence) and adaptive comparison of body and functions of them, concluded this result that in terms of physical and functional point,Matin Abad residence was stronger than Nights residence in Oman which is still working. Unfortunately, this residence has less visitors than Nights residence. The majority of the visitors of Matin Abad are national and local adventurers and nomadic, but in Nights only 2% are local visitors and about 90% are from European countries and about 8% are from the rest of Asia, Africa and Oceania. While the area of Oman desert is not as the size of even one of the deserts of our country, Iran. In total this research proved that the existence of an appropriate desert resort could help well to extend the tourism industry.

Сетецентрическая модель управления в туристской индустрии

The article deals with the network-centric management model for tourist destinations. The model is based on the use of modern information technology and the network system of the organization of information exchange between destinations and consumers of tourism services as well as marketing organizations. Networks are considered as «clusters» or aggregation structures consisting mainly of small and medium tourism enterprises that are using web technologies and modern market interaction and thus help each other (the principle of «B2B»), giving customers a complete package of tourism products and services. We consider the principle of self-synchronization in the construction management of network-centric destinations, allowing the tourist and recreation structures to organize themselves «from below» and not to be reformed administratively. In the framework of the synergetic approach the concept of«attractor of tourism and recreation» is introduced. It is shown that the development of this idea is associated with the concepts of the fluctuations of chaos, bifurcation, dissipation, diffusion of innovations, i.e. anew conceptual apparatus, including those notions related to the theory of catastrophes. It is concluded that the initial methodological basis for solving network-centric management problems of large tourist and recreation system is the principle of graph-dynamics representing a promising direction in management theory. The strategy of «borrowing» is elaborated with regards to the application of the mechanisms of diffusion of innovations and advanced technologies in the tourism and recreational tourism industries in the regions of Russia. It is concluded that the process of diffusion of innovation and advanced technology implies a large number of small and medium enterprises, as well as innovative infrastructure that will allow these companies to create effective cooperation ties in the field of tourism industry. A multi-network scheme is proposed for innovative development of tourist and recreational areas which includes an educational segment.
