РОЗВИТОК ЕКОТУРИЗМУ В УКРАЇНІ

The history of nature tourism goes back many centuries. The ancient Egyptians went on long journeys to expand their knowledge of the world around them. Great figures such as Herodotus, Aristotle and Pliny the Elder travelled to different countries, exploring not only cultural and historical monuments but also natural conditions. Over time, many years have been spent travelling to the most remote corners of the planet to conduct scientific research on landscapes, flora and fauna, and local cultures. Explorers such as Alexander Humboldt, Charles Darwin and others became pioneers in this area.In modern tourism, one of the most promising areas is the environment. Ecotourism, defined as travel and visits to natural areas, has a low impact on the natural environment, hence it is called "soft tourism". In addition, the development of ecotourism requires strict compliance with environmental legislation. When organising ecotourism, the local population not only works as service personnel, but also stays in the protected area, continuing their traditional way of life and preserving ecosystems. This generates additional income for local residents, contributes to the socio-economic development of the area and allows them to develop traditional forms of farming.Ecotourism also contributes to the development of related industries, such as souvenir production and regional infrastructure. An important component is an increase in investment activity due to the region's promotional development. This results in a new source of funding for nature reserves and national parks, which contributes to their preservation and expansion. This approach allows for the implementation of the concept of sustainable development and supports harmonious interaction with the natural environment. This article examines the current state and development of eco-tourism in Ukraine and the world, analysing the key stages of its history and environmental impact.

Advancing tourism demand forecasting in Sri Lanka: evaluating the performance of machine learning models and the impact of social media data integration

PurposeThis study explores the pioneering approach of utilising machine learning (ML) models and integrating social media data for predicting tourist arrivals in Sri Lanka.Design/methodology/approachTwo sets of experiments are performed in this research. First, the predictive accuracy of three ML models, support vector regression (SVR), random forest (RF) and artificial neural network (ANN), is compared against the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model using historical tourist arrivals as features. Subsequently, the impact of incorporating social media data from TripAdvisor and Google Trends as additional features is investigated.FindingsThe findings reveal that the ML models generally outperform the SARIMA model, particularly from 2019 to 2021, when several unexpected events occurred in Sri Lanka. When integrating social media data, the RF model performs significantly better during most years, whereas the SVR model does not exhibit significant improvement. Although adding social media data to the ANN model does not yield superior forecasts, it exhibits proficiency in capturing data trends.Practical implicationsThe findings offer substantial implications for the industry's growth and resilience, allowing stakeholders to make accurate data-driven decisions to navigate the unpredictable dynamics of Sri Lanka's tourism sector.Originality/valueThis study presents the first exploration of ML models and the integration of social media data for forecasting Sri Lankan tourist arrivals, contributing to the advancement of research in this domain.
