Impact of Climate Change on International Tourism Evidence from Baltic Sea Countries

The societal consequences of climate change are still hard to measure, mostly because it is difficult to connect the physical effects of climate change to economic processes and because future climate change and economic estimates are unpredictable. The tourism industry is one of the areas where evaluating the effects of climate change has proven to be especially challenging. The primary influencing environmental elements in the coastal waters of the Baltic Sea are expected to alter as a result of climate change. This study investigates the impact of climate change on the growth of tourism in the Baltic Sea Region, focusing on international tourism. To analyze the possible short-run and long-run impact of climate change on international tourism, a dynamic panel model is used, with data for the period 2005–2022. International tourism is measured through the inbound travel expenditure and the number of overnight visitors. The effect of climate change is captured through the variables of temperature and precipitation, with real GDP and government effectiveness as control variables. Results show a significant negative impact of climate change variables on international tourism in the Baltic Sea countries. There are relatively few studies on the impact of climate change on the tourism industry in the Baltic region; this article complements the existing literature on this very important issue.

A study on the spatial differences between the tourism network attention and tourism flow in Shanghai, China

The tourism network attention as a reflection of tourism demand is closely related to the tourism flow, the differences between the two has become an important criterion for judging the efficiency of destination tourism demand conversion, as well as a manifestation of the balance and coordination of destination tourism industry. Against the background of insufficient release of tourism demand in China, research on the development differences between tourism network attention and tourism flow can provide a basis for demand-side management and high-quality development. Based on the theory of spatial mismatch, this research analyzes the spatial development difference between the tourism network attention and the tourism flow in Shanghai from 2012 to 2021 using methods such as center of gravity model, spatial mismatch index, and two-dimensional combination matrix. The results show: (1) According to the analysis of the center of gravity model, there was a shift of the center of gravity of tourism network attention with the direction of "south-north", while the tourism flow shifted "west-east"; the center of gravity between tourism network attention and tourism flow began to diverge from 2012 to 2016, gradually converged from 2016 to 2019, and then gradually deviated again after 2020. (2) According to the spatial mismatch index, the spatial mismatch types between tourism network attention and tourism flow in various Districts of Shanghai are mainly negative and low mismatch, with high mismatch areas mainly distributed in the eastern and southwestern parts of Shanghai. (3) Combining the two-dimensional combination matrix, it can be observed that the spatial development difference between tourism network attention and tourism flow in Shanghai show a characteristic of "enlarging-shrinking-enlarging". From 2012 to 2016, the spatial development difference between tourism network attention and tourism flow in Shanghai continuously expanded; from 2017 to 2019, the spatial development difference continuously shrank; and from 2020 to 2021, the spatial differences expanded again. (4) The analysis results of the panel data model show that the development of tourism resources and the level of tourism services have a positive promoting effect on the evolution of spatial mismatch, while the social basic development environment has a negative effect. The research results not only meet the needs of evaluating the high-quality development of the tourism industry in the current economic restructuring, providing direction for the high-quality development of the regional tourism industry, but also enrich the research content of network attention as a tourism element participating in the evaluation of tourism industry development quality, and deepen the relationship research between network attention and tourism flow.

Роль цифровизации в развитии экономико-туристического пространства региона: опыт Мурманской области

Introduction. The Murmansk region is the pearl of Arctic tourism, and its tourist and recreational potential is considered in the work. Theoretical analysis. During the theoretical analysis, it was found that a tourist multiplier operates in the economy of the Murmansk region, contributing to the development of the regional tourism industry. At the same time, the acceleration effect in the industry is observed due to the introduction of digital technologies. Empirical analysis. The analysis of the tourism industry economic indicators the Murmansk region gave mixed results. However, the dynamics of many indicators is positive, although it cannot be unequivocally stated that the tourism industry is the flagship industry of the region. At the same time, there is an active application of digitalization achievements in the region, although insufficient. Regional tourist industry facilities use virtual excursions as promotion tools. However, other digitalization mechanisms will also contribute to the popularization of the Murmansk region. In particular, they include conducting excursions through live broadcasts for people with disabilities, producing games with the landscapes of the Kola Peninsula, creating an application with a built-in navigation function along a pre-laid route, and, in the future, building personal routes by amateur tourists independently using this application. Results. Proposals for the introduction of digital technologies into the activities of accommodation facilities, the use of games with locations in the region, and the increase in excursion streams can lead to an acceleration of the cartoon effect in the Murmansk region and increase the tourist flow to the region.

The Impact and Spatial Spillover Effects of Tourism Development on Urban Welfare: Empirical Evidence from the Yangtze River Delta in China

The ultimate goal of China’s tourism industry is to create a flourishing sector that brings happiness. It is of immense theoretical and practical importance to investigate the impact of tourism development (TD) on urban welfare (UW) and uncover its spatial spillover characteristics from a macro perspective. Utilizing panel data from 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2000 to 2021, this study applies the spatial panel Durbin model to explore the direct and spillover effects of TD on UW. The results show that TD significantly boosts UW in both local and neighboring areas, with the spillover effects taking a dominant position in the total effects. Examining the sub-dimensions of UW, the local welfare effects of TD primarily stem from economic welfare, whereas the spillover effects are characterized by the “three-wheel drive” of economic, social, and environmental welfare. This study can provide practical insights into the coordinated and sustainable development of the regional tourism industry.

On the Path of High Level Development of Tourism and Cultural Industry in Ethnic Minority Regions

Comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and focusing on promoting high-quality development is a major strategic deployment proposed in the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Promoting the higher-level development of the tourism and cultural industry in ethnic minority areas is not only a concrete manifestation of implementing the new development concept and continuously consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation, but also an inherent requirement for promoting the rapid development of the cultural industry, enhancing the country's soft power and competitiveness. It is also an inevitable choice for advancing the task of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country. However, due to multiple factors such as geographical location and historical conditions, there is still significant room for adjustment in achieving higher levels of development in the tourism and cultural industry in ethnic minority areas. This article focuses on ethnic minority areas with relatively lagging economic development in the rural revitalization strategy, studies the current development status and improvement paths of the tourism and cultural industry in these areas, comprehensively analyzes the problems and reasons faced by the tourism and cultural industry in ethnic minority areas, and proposes corresponding countermeasures and suggestions based on reality.

The article analyzes the dynamics of the functioning of the Mediterranean tourist market based on the distribution of international inbound flows of vacationers and the amount of income in the country, which is determined by the modern challenges of the globalized world. It was noted that the COVID-19 pandemic had an extremely negative impact on the tourism industry in the Mediterranean region, which led to economic losses, job losses, and a decrease in the number of international tourist arrivals. With the aim of sustainable and post-Covid development of the tourism sector, the Mediterranean countries outlined the determinants of economic recovery such as: joint development of cross-border tourism products and packages, transport and technology development as one of the key priorities, the acceleration of digital channels implementation for the promotion and sale of tourist services, the promotion of domestic tourism, the implementation of sustainable tourism practice. It is emphasized that ambitious, ecological and inclusive roadmaps for the recovery of the leisure industry are needed at the local, national and regional levels.

Regional Tourism Ecosystem as a Tool for Sustainable Development during the Economic Crisis

The paper aims to examine the perspective on the development of regional tourism ecosystems as one of the pillars of sustainable development in Russian regions. In order to meet the research objective, we combined a variety of methods: the Delphi method to analyse expert views and carry out the process of weighting indicators, mathematical and statistical processing of the evaluation results to obtain a comprehensive estimate of tourism development in Russian regions. We moved through four stages, namely: studying the local ecosystems and natural resources; examination of historical and cultural resources; studying the socioeconomic resources in the regions; evaluating the skills and competencies of regional tourist office staff. Using complex sustainability indicators, we attempted to ascertain, on the one hand, how the current state of the tourism industry in Russian regions affects the overall sustainability of regional development. As a result, we presented rankings of the Russian regions depending on their complex sustainability indicators. On the other hand, we attempted to confirm that the availability, implementation, and establishment of novel approaches determine the future possibilities for the growth and strengthening of regional tourism sustainability. We found that there is a need for pervasive integration of innovations into conventional management approaches, including digital instruments supporting successful regional tourism ecosystem development. Finally, we proposed a model of such an ecosystem as a component of an innovative hypercluster.

Quantitative evaluation of tourism crisis response policies: overview and lessons from China’s tourism epidemic response policies

ABSTRACT Governments and DMOs have enacted a number of policies to cope with the impacts of unpredictable disruptions, such as COVID-19, on recovering regional tourism industries. Retrospective analysis and scientific evaluation of the content, quality, and implementation efficacy of existing policies serve as an important reference for future policy formulation, modification, and improvement. This study utilized the PMC-AE index model to construct an evaluation model of the tourism epidemic response policy and then evaluated and compared China’s tourism policies at the national and provincial levels from the perspective of policy formulation. The results indicated that: First, China’s tourism epidemic response policy included four categories: epidemic prevention and control and follow-up supervision, relief support and recovery development, resumption of work and production, and consumption promotion. Second, most of the policies remain relatively high, and the scores at national and provincial levels decline from high to low, forming a ‘top-down’ pattern to cope with the epidemic’s impact effectively. Simultaneously, there were no significant differences between policy types and regions, but provincial policies were significantly more targeted than specialized policies. Lastly, some tourism epidemic response policies remained problematic, particularly concerning insufficient predictive content, a single target audience, the structural imbalance of incentive methods, and the lack of cooperation between the publishing parties. This study validated the reliability and efficacy of the PMC-AE policy evaluation system in tourism policy research and provided a reference for formulating future epidemic response policies.

Natural Resources for Adventure Tourism in the Western Region of Mongolia

The tourism industry has become one of the major economic sectors and has been contributing significantly to the socioeconomic development of the country. In the recent years, special interest tourism which is driven by one’s personal interest, passion and novelty has grown dramatically among the various types of tourism. Out of all special interest tourism types, we selected and researched adventure tourism. The range of adventure tourism services that are currently being developed in Mongolia is limited, not particularly inventive and lacks the ability to take the full advantage of accessible opportunities. This kind of tourism is restricted to only a few types of activities, such as horse and camel riding, cycling, hiking and mountain climbing. According to the researchers, the majority of travelers are more interested in skill-based adventure tourism in remote areas and less skill-based adventure tourism in well-known tourist hotspots. The natural resources found in the western region of Mongolia are uncommon in other countries of the world, which is advantageous for the development of adventure tourism. Nevertheless, it is necessary to study these natural resources carefully to identify opportunities particularly for the development of adventure tourism. Natural resources for adventure tourism are categorized into two primary groups: land and water including elements such as mountains, rocks and sand dunes, rivers and lakes. In this manuscript we present indicators for identifying mountains, each element’s potential. As a result, potential natural resources for the growth of adventure tourism industry in the western region of Mongolia were defined.

The Influence of Halal Culinary in Increasing Economic Growth

The research aims to determine a strategy for the development of halal cuisine with a focus on the culinarian center in the Lampung province to boost economic growth in the Province of Lampung. The investigation uses qualitative descriptive methods of research using data collection techniques consisting of field surveys, in-depth interviews, and 7P analysis of products, prices, places, promotions, people, processes, and physical evidence related to the development of halal cuisine in the region. The results of the research show that great potential lies in the development of halal cuisine in the Province of Lampung with strategies that include quality improvement, effective marketing, and collaboration with halal certification bodies that have the potential to enhance the potential of Muslim tourists. By maximizing the halal culinary potential, the Province of Lampung can strengthen its contribution to economic growth and enhance the competitiveness of the regional tourism and gastronomic industries. The problem with culinary halal is that there are still culinaries that do not have a halal certificate, This is due to the minimum of information, which is necessary to do more socialization by the Organizing Authority for the Guarantee of Halal Products (BPJH) so that culinarian perpetrators who have not known can know the importance of halal certificates.

Барьеры и факторы развития туристического бизнеса в России и Арктике (по результатам экспертного опроса)

The tourism sector is the most important for the socio-economic development of countries and regions, contributing to the preservation of historical and cultural values, the formation of humanism and tolerance in the world. However, there are many difficulties in the tourism business that have become seriously exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic and contribute to a rethinking of the problems and factors of tourism development. In Russia, since 2020, the focus has been on the development of domestic tourism, and this further contributed to the restoration and maintenance of a certain stability in this area, which is especially important during the period of aggravation of the geopolitical situation in Russia and the world, from 2022 to the present. Nevertheless, the issues of barriers to the development of tourism in our country remain relevant, taking into account the ideas, orientations and practices of both tour operators and consumers of tourism services, which actualizes sociological research in this aspect. In order to identify the existing barriers and factors for the successful development of tourism in Russia, the authors conducted a sociological study in 2021 among tourism specialists who acted as experts and represent authorities, tourism business and science in Russian and foreign regions. The study was conducted in a qualitative strategy using the in-depth interview method, during which 31 experts were interviewed. The results of the expert survey may be useful in the further development of the tourism industry in the Russian regions.

Reflection and Exploration of Rural Homestead Reform - A Case Study of Ningguo City

This paper focuses on analyzing the current situation of rural homesteads in Ningguo City, including the widespread issue of idle homesteads and the phenomenon of rural hollowing. Due to the hilly terrain in Ningguo City, rural residents' dwellings are relatively scattered, posing challenges to the construction of the new countryside and increasing management complexity. Through in-depth investigation and analysis, the paper proposes diverse solutions to address these issues: 1. Homestead return and compensation: Promoting methods for returning homesteads and compensating with cultivated land or exchanging homesteads for vouchers to offset urban housing purchases, facilitating the rational use of land and the urbanization process of farmers. 2. Centralized resettlement and nursing homes: Through centralized resettlement, reducing the scattered living of rural residents is conducive to the construction and management of the new countryside. 3. Innovative utilization of homestead resources: Distinctive homesteads with resources such as Qinglong Bay and Fangtang Township in Ningguo City can be leased for the construction of homestays, exhibition halls, and popular tourist spots, promoting regional tourism and cultural industry development. 4. Exchange of rural homesteads for cultivated land: Adopting the form of exchanging one acre of homestead for three acres of cultivated land makes it more acceptable for farmers. This research not only provides specific and feasible solutions for the reform of rural homesteads in Ningguo City but also offers references for other regions facing similar problems, contributing to the broader implementation and success of rural homestead reform.
