Green tourism in Ukraine, formation, development and prospects

The article is devoted to the problem of the development of green tourism in Ukraine. Green tourism is an important part of rational nature management, which involves the creation and maintenance of recreational systems, including supporting the development of destinations by improving their ecological and general culture. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze the vectors of formation, development and promising directions for the development of green tourism tour products. Research objectives: 1) to identify the relevance of the problem; 2) consider the concepts, features, types and functions of green tourism; 3) study the main determinants of the development of tourism potential in Ukraine; 4) develop proposals regarding the prospects for the development of green tourism on the territory of Ukraine. To achieve the goal of the article, a number of methods of scientific knowledge were used, namely: analysis of scientific literature, induction, deduction, synthesis, generalization, comparison. The development of green tourism requires the implementation of mandatory strategic and territorial planning for each individual territory within the administrative and territorial units of our country, the creation of the necessary infrastructure in rural areas, the implementation of an individual marketing strategy, monitoring the consequences of the growth of tourist flows, the involvement of the local population, and the development of volunteerism. Based on the relationship to green tourism as an economic category, it is possible to define green tourism as a component of the tourism industry, which produces and sells its tourism product and receives profit from it, or as a tourist activity in rural areas that brings profit for the preservation of the natural environment, and also to improve the standard of living of the local population. The most promising direction for improving the green tourism management system at the regional level is the creation of regional tourism administrations. The conducted analysis provides an opportunity to talk about Ukraine as a country that has great potential for the formation of a successful segment of green tourism. The main development problem is the lack of a strategy for the development of green tourism and, as a result, there are no precisely established tasks and goals facing this area. Taking into account the determining importance of green tourism for the development of tourism in Ukraine, it is necessary to create a cluster "Green tourism in rural areas of Ukraine". For these purposes, it is necessary to make changes to the program of the development of inbound and domestic tourism with the establishment of specific tasks and goals that are in the green tourism, with clarification of effective mechanisms for their implementation and a plan of activities for the development of the cluster.

Augmented Reality of Historical Relics in the British Museum

Museums are one of the tourist attractions that are in great demand by the public. Museums can be used as a place to increase knowledge for many people; many people visit museums during the holiday season or on tourist tours, causing severe congestion when they want to visit the museum during that season. This hinders people from enjoying and learning about historical relics. Therefore, our group decided to help people to learn about the historical relics in the museum by using other media. Our group will create an Augmented Reality (AR) application in the form of historical relics in the British Museum. Augmented Reality (AR) will be created using the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) method to be able to produce maximum results so that users can use this Augmented Reality (AR) application more easily. The expected result of making this Augmented Reality (AR) application is to reduce the density in the museum, helping people to recognize and gain information about relics, paintings, sculptures, and others in the British Museum without having to visit the museum, as well as to assist students in learning about British historical heritage with a more fun method in a 3D View.

Turismo cultural, patrimonio y comunidades locales: el caso de Cabildo (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Tourist activity in lower‑ranking communities activates complex processes of heritage, such as those observed in the town of Cabildo, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The work began in 2012 to design a community cultural tourist circuit. Perceptions about heritage and the cultural landscape were defined through participatory action research. The results indicated dissimilar identity references over the selected age groups (older adults, adults, adolescents) and configurations of the heritage and cultural landscape particular to each sector, information that favoured the design of a tourist circuit integrating the different visions. This participatory experience allows us to discuss the participation of state agencies in the promotion and articulation of community proposals and reflect on these axes: is it possible to build an intergenerational heritage from cultural tourism? How do public bodies work and what role do they play?

Unleashing the Chinese tourism market after the Covid-19 epidemic employing a tourist-centric approach: An industry experts’ perspective

The tourism industry is a key driver of many economies, and emerging nations place a strong emphasis on it. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, Chinese tourists were on the rise in Asia and global tourism. However, the pandemic has severely impacted the tourism industry, and its recovery will be dependent on when China lifts its travel restrictions. This research aims to explore strategies to attract Chinese visitors once travel restrictions are lifted. To gather data, our study employed an exploratory approach and collected information from Chinese tourism industry experts who design tours for Chinese tourists visiting other Asian countries, specifically Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Thailand, using snowball sampling. Our findings highlight the importance of language, technology, and information availability in capturing the interest of Chinese tourists. Additionally, current industrial decisions necessitate a deep understanding of Chinese legislation and regulatory data. Reliable transportation infrastructure is also crucial for countries seeking to attract Chinese visitors. Notably, the findings of our study emphasize the need for collaboration between the government of the focus countries and China to support the tourism industry. By leveraging language, technology, information availability, and reliable transportation, emerging nations can unleash the potential of the Chinese tourism market once travel restrictions are lifted. This research provides valuable insights for industry practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders seeking to tap into the Chinese tourism market in the post-pandemic era.

Application of cryptocurrency as a method of payment in tourism

Purpose - The paper summarizes the theoretical and empirical knowledge on the use and transactions of cryptocurrencies in tourism and examines the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment in Croatian tourism. Methodology/Design/Approach – The empirical research examines the attitudes and opinions of tourists in Croatian tourism regarding their willingness to pay with cryptocurrencies while travelling.

Solving the team orienteering problem with time windows and mandatory visits using a constraint programming approach

This paper presents a constraint programming (CP) approach for solving the team orienteering problem with time windows and mandatory visits (TOPTW-MV), which has many real-world implementations, such as tourist tour planning, routing technicians, and disaster relief routing. In the TOPTW-MV, a set of locations is given; some locations must be visited, while others are optional. For each location, the profit, service time, and service time window information are known. A fleet of homogeneous vehicles is available for visiting locations and collecting the profits. The objective in solving this problem is to create a set of vehicle routes that begin and end at a depot, visit mandatory locations exactly once and optional locations at most once, while observing other restrictions such as time windows and sequence-based travel times. The CP-based approach finds 99 of the best-known solutions and explores 64 new best-known solutions for the benchmark instances.

Tourism management in the Arctic coastal zone of Northern Eurasia

This article analyzes the recreational activity in the Arctic region of Northern Eurasia and the influence of geographical and eco¬nomic factors on its recreational potential. The SWOT analysis showed that the Arctic tourist region has a number of strengths and opportunities for further development. However, to realize these opportunities, it is necessary to reduce the negative impact of weaknesses and neutralize the existing threats to tourism in the region. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the political, economic, social and technological factors that were identified as a result of the PEST analysis. Processes related to the melting of permafrost due to climate changes represent a special threat, which is significantly constraining the future development of tourism in the region. The major problem of the Arctic region is the low level of development of recreational infrastructure, which results in the high cost of touristic tours. The article suggests two strategies for the future development of tourism in the Arctic region. The first is based on premium tourism, offering unique services that are not offered anywhere else. The second one is an active development of budget-priced tourism focusing mainly on the Russian market in the Russian Arctic and the European market in Northern Scandinavia and Svalbard.
