The Penta Helix Model in the Development Efforts of Agro-Tourism Village Kubu Gadang, Padang Panjang City

Tourism become a leading sector for development in Indonesia. The Development of the tourism industry is carried out comprehensively in almost all regions in Indonesia, one of the potential region is Kubu Gadang tourist village, Padang Panjang, West Sumatera. This research used theory penta helix by (Carayannis & Campbell, 2011) and tourism development theory by (Sharpley & Telfer, 2008) with output indicators including: Environmental Development, Economic and Political Development, Social-Cultural Development, Community Roles Development dan Human Resources Development. The result show that several tourism development indicators have been implemented, but there is still minimal training to Pokdarwis, and there is still no special budgeting for developing teourst villages. Because tourism development is not a main focus from Youth, Sports and Tourism Departement Padang Panjang (Disporapar). Disporapar as leading sector has establishing all collaborations with stakeholders, but there is no specific division to authority. Which means there is still an overlap in division of tasks and authority in developing this tourist village.

Study on the coupling coordination effect and dynamic relationship between tourism development and the ecological environment: a case study of Hainan Island

As a Free Trade Port in China, the protection of ecological environment and high-quality tourism development on Hainan Island have become a national strategy. Exploring the coupling relationship of the two subsystems holds great practical significance for promoting the island’s international demonstration area and high-quality development. Based on the characteristics of international islands, a comprehensive index system is established to explore the coupling coordination evolutionary process and interactive stress relationship of tourism development and the ecological environment in Hainan Island from 2005 to 2020. The results show: (1) From 2005 to 2019, the comprehensive evaluation index of the two subsystems of Hainan Island generally showed a continuous growth trend. (2) From 2005 to 2019, the coupling degree of the two subsystems of Hainan Island strengthened continuously, the coupling coordination degree increased steadily from a moderate imbalance to good coordination, and tourism development and the ecological environment entered a stage of parallel and benign interactive development. (3) In 2020, affected by COVID-19, the tourism development indicators declined rapidly, while the ecological environment still maintained a rising trend. (4) Based on the inverted U-shaped curve model, when the tourism development index reaches 0.7269, the ecological environment quality reaches the maximum value of 0.7956, which is the best state between the two subsystems. The ecological environment and tourism development of Hainan Island are generally in a benign interaction, but there are signs of interactive stress starting in 2017. In the future, the pressure on the ecological environment of Hainan Island will increase.

Nexus between Tourism Industry and Economic Growth of Nepal

The tourism sector is essential to economic growth and has the capacity to stimulate the economy. The aim of this paper to assess the relationship between tourism industry and its economic growth. The gross domestic product (GDP) indicates the economic growth and tourism industry development relates to tourist arrivals, length of stay, and gross foreign exchange earnings from tourism. This study is grounded on secondary data collected from the Economic Survey of Nepal and the Nepal Tourism Statistics from 2000 to 2021. The study finds short and long-term causality between tourism industry and economic growth. The tourism development indicators include arrivals of tourist, length of stay, and gross foreign exchange from tourism. The unidirectional causality of economic growth to the length of stay of tourists and tourism to gross foreign exchange earnings were observed in the study. Adequate government strategies for the tourism sector can accelerate economic growth. The policymakers should give adequate attention to diversifying the tourism services, improving infrastructure, encouraging local communities, promoting sustainable tourism, enhancing marketing efforts, and promoting collaborations between the public, commercial sectors and local communities to support tourism industry for the sustained in Nepal.

Clusterization in Tourism Development Level's Assessment of Regions: Example of Ukraine

Tourism development is uneven, which is related to the level of socio-economic development of territories, peculiarities of historical and cultural processes, resource provision, etc., which determines the need to study the structure of the tourist market based on spatial polarization based on statistical methods. The study aims to identify disparities in tourism development in Ukraine's regions and to group them according to indicators that characterize tourism's development level. To solve the problem, the authors used a modified cluster analysis method. The article presents the author's approach, which, unlike the existing ones, allows taking into account clarifying weighting factors and corrective penalty functions for each indicator to minimize probabilistic influences when determining the distance between objects. The uneven development of the tourism sector in the regions of Ukraine was revealed. As a result, six clusters were distinguished based on indicators of tourism development in the regions of Ukraine as of 2020, and the peculiarities within each cluster were found. State authorities can use the research results to ensure the comprehensive development of territories by forming effective regional tourism strategies and promoting the development of the most promising tourism destinations and products.

Tourism-income inequality Nexus in Africa: evidence from SADC countries

ABSTRACT The tourism sector is one of the fastest-growing services sub-sectors worldwide and promises to unlock job opportunities and improve social inclusion outcomes in developing countries. We focused on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, which houses developing countries with high income inequality and constitutes attractive tourist centres in sub-Saharan Africa. We employed both the disaggregated and composite indicators of tourism development to investigate the tourism-income inequality nexus in the SADC region from 2010 to 2019. Utilizing the panel quantile regression approach, our overall results suggest that tourism development is inequality-worsening, and this is robust to both the composite tourism index and the individual tourism indicators (except in a few instances). While we established that net FDI inflows improve the inequality outcomes in the region, less corruption worsens inequality (except in a few cases). Accordingly, we offer relevant policy options for the governments of the SADC region.

Spatial patterns of tourism development in Germany

Tourism is one of the most important and dynamic sectors of the world's economy. However, the coronavirus pandemic in 2020–2021 caused significant losses in the tourism industry. The pandemic has also significantly affected the tourism development in Germany, which is one of the world's leading tourist destinations. The article analyzes the dynamics of tourism development in Germany in 2012–2022 and calculates the indicator of the integral index of tourism development in the federal states of Germany. The average values of the initial partial indicators for 2018–2022 are taken, to determine the integral index of tourism development level in the federal lands of Germany, which reflect both absolute and relative parameters of tourism growth. Based on the calculated average integrated index of the tourism development level in the federal lands of Germany, the features of spatial differentiation in the tourism development in the country are clarified. The analysis shows that before the coronavirus pandemic, tourism in Germany was significantly developing. The total number of tourist arrivals by 2020 increased annually by more than 20 %. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, their number and tourism revenues halved in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, this indicator and other indicators of the development of the German tourism industry tended to improve. Domestic tourists dominate the total number of tourist arrivals. The calculated average integral index of tourism development in the federal lands showed a significant spatial asymmetry in the levels of development of the German tourism industry. According to this index, the federal lands of Germany are divided into five groups: high, high than average, medium, lower than average, and low tourism development levels. The lands of Berlin and Bavaria have a high level of tourism development. These regions are well-known tourist destinations in Germany. They have a rich cultural heritage, abundant natural resources and attractive landscapes, and a large number of tourist accommodation facilities. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, and Baden-Württemberg have a higher level of tourism development than the national average. These lands are characterised by a large number of tourist overnight stays, accommodation facilities, territorial concentrations, and a high intensity of tourism. The western German lands of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia have an average level of tourism development. These lands are characterised by high tourist arrivals and the number and capacity of accommodation facilities. However, due to the large area of these territories, they have low indicators of the territorial concentration of tourism activity. Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Bremen, Saxony and Brandenburg have a lower level of tourism development than the German average. These regions are characterised by moderate tourism development indicators. The federal lands of Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Saarland have the lowest level of tourism development due to low volumes of tourist flows and low concentration of accommodation facilities. The German government has introduced several measures to support the tourism industry during the pandemic, including emergency financial assistance, grant support, a special loan program, tax measures, and short-term leave for businesses. It is known that higher tourism development indicators are typical for the lands with the highest level of social and economic development. Tourism is a factor that influences the economic development of both the country and individual federal states. Keywords: integral index of tourism development, Germany, tourism, tourist arrivals, federal state.

Investigating medical tourism development indicators in Yazd Reproductive Sciences Institute: A cross-sectional study.

Payingspecial attention to the development indicators of medical tourism (MT) can lead to the further development of this industry and tourists' satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate MT development indicators in Yazd Reproductive Sciences Research Institute, Yazd, Iran in 2021. In this cross-sectional study, 430 medical tourists referred to the Yazd Reproductive Sciences Institute, Yazd, Iran in 2021 were studied. A researcher-made questionnaire with 46 questions and 10 dimensions was used in both internal and external environments to collect data. The Spearman correlation coefficient was also used to assess the correlation between the quantitative factors. The reliability and validity of the scale were confirmed. The mean SD of the advertising and marketing index scored was lower than the other internal environmental indices (15.05 2.16). Also, the economic factors and tourism infrastructure were lower than the other external environmental factors (9.8 1.99, 8.53 2.11, respectively). Given the importance of MT, top managers and relevant authorities should pay close attention to the criteria of advertising, marketing, and tourism infrastructure. MT demand can be improved by increasing the importance of advertising, implementing realistic advertising strategies, and developing adequate urban infrastructure and services.

The Influencing Effect of Tourism Economy on Green Development Efficiency in the Yangtze River Delta.

In the context of ecological priority and green development strategy, accelerating the upgrading of tourism structure and promoting the development of ecotourism is an important guarantee to achieve green and low-carbon economic growth and high-quality development. On the basis of constructing comprehensive evaluation indicators of tourism development (TD) and green development efficiency (GDE), this study analyzed the impulse response relationship between TD and GDE and the impact effect of TD on GDE in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2000-2018. Findings showed that: (1) During the study period, TD generally exhibited a W-shaped fluctuating upward trend and GDE showed a staggered evolution of upward and downward fluctuations, while both regional gaps of TD and GDE continued to decrease. (2) Most cities had made a leap from low to medium, high, and higher levels of tourism development, with tourism development levels decreasing along the Yangtze River basin to the north and south of the delta. The overall green development efficiency was relatively low, showing a spatial pattern of high value in the southern delta and low value in the northwest delta. (3) There was a one-way Granger causality of TD on GDE, and the impact of TD on GDE showed a significant positive cumulative effect. (4) TD exhibited a significant inverted U-shaped impact on GDE. The economic development level and government intervention had a significant positive impact on GDE. The proportion of secondary industry, energy consumption intensity, and foreign direct investment had a significant negative driving effect on GDE. While the impact of environmental regulation on GDE was insignificant positive. This study has great practical significance to alleviate the problems of urban resources and environment, and to realize a green economy and high-quality life.

КОБРЕНДИНГ КАК ФАКТОР ТУРИСТИЧЕСКОГО ПОТОКА В ГОРОДА

The reorientation of Russian tourist flows to domestic destinations under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the aggravation of the geopolitical situation creates opportunitiesfor expanding the supply in the domestic tourist market. Cooperation between regions and cities in the development and promotion of new tour routes and brands, as well as the joining of new participants to existing formats of joint branding, is becoming relevant. Meanwhile, influence of branding on tourism development indicators in literature is still insufficiently covered, with practically no studies measuring the effects of cobranding cities. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the participation of cities in the cobranding associationon tourist flows to these cities. The authors focus on the activities of brand managers in creating and communicating city brands, while the tourist flow indicator evaluate the activities results. In the framework of the empirical study, a quantitative comparative analysis of two groups of cities was carried out (group 1 - cities included in the Golden Ring cobranding association, group 2 - cities with similar characteristics, but branded independently). The analysis shows a significant correlation between branding and tourist flows in group 1. At the same time, no such relationship is found for group 2. Thus, the findings suggest that there is a real influence of cobranding strategies on the tourist flows of cities. The results of the study may be a tool to substantiate the feasibility of cities' participation in cobranding associations, which makesit possible to increase the effectiveness of promoting tourist brands of all participating cities

Место европейских городов Средиземноморья в сфере туризма Европейского союза

The purpose of the study is to determine the position of Mediterranean cities in the European tourism system. For this purpose, the tourist attractiveness and tourism development of the Mediterranean region and the EU countries are analyzed. The place of the most attractive tourist cities of the Mediterranean in the EU market has been determined. Their strengths and weaknesses in the development of tourism are highlighted and opportunities and threats are considered. The methods of comparative, cluster, SWOT analysis were used in the work, a classification and a series of tables and maps were created. As a result of cluster analysis of a dozen indicators, groups of countries by tourist attractiveness and groups of cities of the European Union by the level of tourism development were identified. The study showed that the cities of the Mediterranean have different degrees of tourism development, while the level of tourism development in the cities of the western part of the region is higher than in the eastern. The largest of them have a diversified tourist offer and attract tourists as centers of resort, cultural and educational, business, event and religious tourism. They are a popular destination for citizens of Germany, Great Britain, Austria and the Scandinavian countries. There is also an interchange of tourists from the Mediterranean countries: France and Italy. Mediterranean cities have different and, in some cases, significantly different values of tourism development indicators. Higher rates of tourism development are observed in cities in the western part of the Mediterranean, while lower rates are observed in cities in the eastern part (cities of Greece, Croatia, Slovenia, Cyprus). The predominant number of Mediterranean cities, which are included in the list of the most popular destinations, demonstrate indicators of tourism development closer to the minimum values: economy and business, tourist activity, tourist policy and attractiveness, tourist infrastructure. In terms of characteristics, they are similar to cities in Portugal, as well as cities in Eastern Europe. The weak side of the development of tourism in Mediterranean cities is the indicators of sustainable development (the increase in average air temperature, the content of PM2.5 particles in the air), which affects the index of sustainable tourism. After the lifting of all coronavirus restrictions, Mediterranean cities are capable of rapid recovery due to the fact that they provide a familiar tourist product of good quality, which is important in conditions of uncertainty. Also, a plus is the proximity to the countries-the main suppliers of tourists and a long travel ban, which stimulated the desire to travel.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC INDICATORS OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE AND THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND

Objective. The objective of the article is to carry out a comparative analysis of a group of economic indicators of tourism development in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland. Methods. In order to achieve the set goals and objectives, the following research methods are used: analysis and synthesis (to determine comparable economic indicators of the tourism development in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland), comparative analysis, comparison (to determine similar and different trends in the functioning of tourist markets in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland for the selected period), graphic method (for a visual representation of statistical data). Results. Based on a comparative analysis of economic indicators of tourism development in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland during 2009-2022, namely: international tourist arrivals; international tourism receipts; international tourism expenditure, both similar and different trends in the functioning of the tourist markets of both countries, inherent in a certain period, are highlighted: 1) presence of two clearly defined phases in the dynamics of international tourist arrivals in the Republic of Poland, namely steady growth (2009-2019) and rapid decline (2020-2021); presence of wave-like dynamics of international tourist arrivals, with periods of growth (2010-2013, 2015-2017, 2021) and decline (2014, 2018-2020) in Ukraine; 2) absence of a stable trend in the dynamics of international tourism receipts both in the Republic of Poland and in Ukraine, given the presence of a number of peaks and troughs in the analyzed data sample, with an overall positive trend of receipts from international tourism in Poland for 2009-2022 ( +58.24%) and negative in Ukraine (-77.7%); 3) presence of constant fluctuations in the international tourism expenditure in Ukraine and the Republic of Poland, with a significant increase over 2009-2022 in Ukraine (+495.7%) and an insignificant increase in Poland (3.4%).

Estimation of ecological footprint based on tourism development indicators using neural networks and multivariate regression.

The ecological footprint has attracted a lot of attention in the top tourism destination countries, and this issue may be worrying. This study aims to estimate the ecological footprint, using such indicators as economic growth, natural resources, human capital, and the number of tourists in top tourism destination countries. For this purpose, artificial neural network models and multivariate regression were used for a period of 24years (1995-2019). The results of the study showed a significant positive correlation between economic growth and ecological footprint. Multivariate regression estimation (R = 0.75) is weaker than neural network models (R = 96.3). Regarding predicting the ecological footprint, neural network models have better performance in comparison with the multivariate regression statistical methods. Accordingly, one can say that for planning ecological footprint, deeper look at neural networks can be more effective in predicting top tourism destination countries.

Discussing the Spatial Underpinnings of Tourism Policy and Planning in Romania

"The paper examines the spatial concepts and mechanisms that drive the reconfiguration of the tourism space and provide policy-relevant informa tion. Mapping the spatial patterns of tourism supply and demand at finely-grained data over the last two decades, the analysis employs spatiotemporal and scaling methods to capture the interactions and de pendencies among tourism concentrations. The findings point to space-tourism realignments based on heterogeneous concentration patterns and trajectories of change, supply growth and ex pansion at the first level of contiguity, and diffused domestic vs. polarized international arrivals. The bi nary approach of tourism concentrations of supply and demand with varying location quotients enables the identification of both differences and similarities in terms of contextual and tourism development in dicators. In support of context-sensitive policy inter ventions, we argue that space should be regarded as a central dimension of the tourism development pol icy. Providing a snapshot of the tourism concentra tions in 2019, the study may count as a baseline ref erence for further analyses in post-pandemic times."

Исследование рынка туроперейтинга в регионах Сибирского и Дальневосточного федеральных округов

Tourism is one of the most important links in the development of the regional economy in the country. Coronavirus infection COVID - 19 has seriously affected the tourism industry, so not all tourist companies were able to adapt to the changes. Thus, restrictive measures in connection with the epidemiological situation in the country, in different ways, affected the Arctic regions, thereby increasing the negative impact on the development of tourism. The article presents an analysis of the current state of tourist activity in the regions of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. These territories are a promising direction for the development of domestic tourism of the Russian Federation. In addition, the indicators of tourism development in the SFD and DFD regions were considered. It is worth noting that the Arctic region is perceived as a territory with a huge amount of natural, cultural and historical resources, which in turn is one of the main factors in the development of domestic tourism, to meet the interests of the small indigenous peoples, and protect their interests. The relevance of this study is due to the importance of tourism transfer as one of the main factors in the development of tourism activities in the territory of both the Russian Federation and the regions of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts. Thus, the study was based on the activities of 675 tour operators of these regions. The obtained data can be used to create strategic activities of regions, to form popular in new conditions tourism products and to compete with traditional tourist centers. The presence of a highly competitive tourist market in the region is a prerequisite.
