Research on employment willingness of tourism management graduates based on AHP-DEMATEL model

High-quality tourism graduates who meet the needs of modern tourism development are a central resource in tourism development, critical to enhancing core competitiveness in tourism. However, the employment rate of tourism master’s graduates is low, restricting the rapid development of the tourism industry. This study aims to explain the influencing factors of the employment willingness of tourism management master’s graduates in China. A questionnaire was designed to investigate three influencing factors: personal work preferences and perception, tourism industry development characteristics, and school teaching and training. AHP-DEMATEL method was used to identify the influencing factors in tourism graduates’ employment willingness. The results show that employment willingness is not affected by gender but that it is affected by age, and that students choose stable careers due to insufficient confidence in the tourism development situation. The nature of the work, the social status, and the salary are not the main influencing factors. There are inconclusive findings on future development prospects, personal work preferences, recognition of the value of the work, and opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skills. Additionally, professional practice and employment information issued by the schools affect the employment willingness of tourism master’s graduates.

Academic Mobility in the Context of the Modern Tourism Development

The article examines the impact of the modern tourism sphere on social mobility in general and, in particular, on professional and academic mobility. The purpose of the article is to construct a descriptive characteristic of the formation of academic mobility (at the regional and global levels) in the context of the development of the modern tourism sphere, realized through the combination of educational and tourism spheres, and where communicativeness and foreign language competence become important feathers of the modern competent young specialist in the tourism sphere. Research methods. During the research, general scientific and empirical techniques based on a systemic approach were applied. General methods of generalization and comparison were also used in the work process. Results. As the result of the conducted analysis, the interdependence of the development of educational and tourism spheres has been defined in the conditions of professional and academic mobility, when the influence of «knowledge diplomacy» and cultural exchange between all subjects of academic mobility occur. The author of the article states that the tourism sphere in the conditions of globalization, openness of countries, unification, and standardization was able to create a global tourist space, which includes more than 150 countries of the world. Conclusions. Today, long distance moving/traveling has become common (opening the new opportunities for social, professional, and educational mobility), this has been used during the creation and further functioning of global and/or regional educational centers, where the training process creates conditions for acquiring a high level of linguistic (non-native) competence, and the ability to work in a multicultural, multinational team. At the same time, there is a cultural exchange between subjects of the educational process; the acquired knowledge and experience remain and influence the further behavior of a future political and military figure in one's country (the new elite) who studied abroad. Also, studying in such centers transforms the moral and psychological state along with the social communication of students, teachers, scientists, and young professionals. In addition, staying and getting an education in the specified centers contributes to the formation of a new global elite, which becomes cosmopolitan and, upon returning home, perceives the surrounding world in a different way, and builds relations with neighboring countries. That is, there is a practical implementation of the concept of «educational diplomacy», which further affects traditional diplomacy between countries that are part of the relevant educational space, and this, in turn, makes it possible to form a new agenda for solving problems through joint efforts, as well as work on joint projects. At the same time, the modern global tourism sphere is constantly expanding the geography for new education, working under the condition of high communicative competence of the student of education, a young specialist, and knowledge of foreign languages at a level not lower than B2.

Impact of the visitor walking speed and glass barriers on airflow and Bioaerosol particles distribution in the typical open tomb

With the rapid development of modern tourism, the contamination of cultural heritage including human spiritual civilization by visitors has increased, particularly for precious murals. In this study, the Bioaerosol Particles in air were found to be an important source of contamination on murals by internal transcribed spacer rRNA gene-based sequences. Moreover, computational fluid dynamics was applied to further study the influence of visitor walking speed on airflow and Bioaerosol Particles distribution in a typical open tomb. The accuracy of the results was verified by field experiments, including environmental parameter monitoring and Bioaerosol Particles collection. The fairly mature Omega vortex identification method was introduced to analyse the airflow changes and Bioaerosol Particles migration as the visitor walked at three different speeds. Furthermore, the effects of glass barriers were evaluated neutrally. The results showed that the Bioaerosol Particles migrated around the visitor while walking, contaminating the murals. After walking, the number of Bioaerosol Particles deposited on murals increased and was approximately positively correlated with walking speed. The amount of Bioaerosol Particles deposited decreased significantly when barriers were installed near the walls. This study provides a reference for the sustainable protection and inheritance of the history and civilization of mankind in modern cities.

PROBLEMS OF FUNCTIONING OF THE INTERNATIONAL TOURIST INDUSTRY IN THE CONDITIONS OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC

Modern tourism is called a phenomenon of the twentieth century and an important area of the global economy, because it has acquired the features of a separate sector of the world economy and is characterized by significant volumes of international trade in its own services. In recent decades, the tourism industry has been characterized by high and stable rates of development, which have contributed not only to the expansion of socio-economic and political relations between countries, but also to replenish budgets at the macro level.

Tourist and Recreational Opportunities of Vinnytsia Region in the Context of Ukrainian Modern Tourism Development

Today tourism is considered one of the promising areas of socio-economic development of the country, regions and cities. After all, the tourism industry generates 11% of the world's gross domestic product, and the tourism industry - 4.2%. Analysis of the situation in Ukraine shows that the tourism industry is gradually developing, although not characterized by stable growth. So, if in 1997 our country was visited by 337 000 foreign tourists, in 2003 - 591 000, and in 2004 - 436 000 foreign tourists. A similar fluctuation over the years in the number of tourists is typical for domestic tourism. At the same time, in our country there are all the prerequisites for the development of tourism: historical, geographical, natural, economic, socio-demographic. Accordingly, the causes of instability are a number of problems that slow down the development of tourism in Ukraine and hinder the development of the tourism industry.
 The modern development of Ukraine and its regions is ensured through the creation of effective management of industries at all levels of government with the delineation of local powers in this area. The development of the tourism sector, outlining priorities and ways to address this issue also opens up great opportunities for the country. The transformation of Ukraine into a world-renowned tourist state requires coordination and control over the activities of sectors of the economy on which the quality of tourist services, transport services, trade, creation of souvenirs, publishing, and advertising propaganda depends.

Directions of Improvement of Strategic Planning and Forecasting of Tourism Development at the Regional Level

The paper explores the main aspects of formulation and practical realisation of the theoretical and methodological components to improve efficiencies of regional tourism development strategies based on the enhancement of the method of situation analysis in tourism and the algorithm of forecasting of tourism potential considering territorial specifics. The authors' work helped to discover the core problems as follows. The inferior performance of modern tourism development strategies is caused by the absence of corrective measures to adapt to external economic transformations, by pandemic-related restrictions and by insufficient use of economic and mathematical toolkits in charting forecast trajectories. A solution to this problem would consist in developing and applying government support for adaptive development of the tourism industry to improve its efficiencies. An enhanced approach to setting up analytics and forecasting is proposed in this work with regard to domestic tourism development in the Stavropol Territory, which is based on the scientific and methodological toolkit for building up the efficiencies of strategic planning documents. The proposed algorithm integrates the main stages of strategic management, which, in contrast to existing algorithms, enables a more comprehensive identification of exogenous factors shaping the process of analysis of tourism clusters; it also allows an analysis of their dynamic variation in the macroeconomic environment. The paper presents methodological approaches to determining the capacity of territorial tourism potential based on the systematisation of both domestic and foreign advanced research. The novel contribution of this research consists in the systematisation of research methods and development of a methodology of situation analysis for the tourism sector based on the substantiation of the algorithm and forecasting the tourism potential of a territory.
