Since the tourist arrives at the location as a rural marketplace, they will get soon their gaze, as they watch some products. These products include location, price, service, facilities, images, in the dynamic of the development of the local people. The local people are considered to be suppliers of the product, as seen in the tourism point of view. The basic point of view of the tourist is the romanticism and nostalgia is experienced at the location and it’s relation with the tourist capacity and capability to understand some associations of the products, as products are categorized and branded, underneath they are the controlled as well as the tourist understand the meaning of the symbols locally, in the form of cultural goods. This case raises up some tourism consideration which this will be studied in the field of comparative rural tourism, heritage tourism. The tourists have their own criteria in understanding people‘s way of life, development, condition, in their locality and in the other hand is the people, the way they understand the tourists’ needs and wants. The relation between local people and tourists attitude is in this contact, communicates the ongoing matter of tourism. The attitude of the local people in the tourist village in Chandran, they are the creator of their heritage. The heritage has a role for them, because its value, in several degrees, is correlatively connected with local history, culture, and nature. This is important to understand local heritage tourism. Diversity of the dynamic rtelation between the village and the city in the tourisme context is significant and it’s difference is understood.

COMPETITIVENESS OF SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM AT THE BROMO TENGGER SEMERU NATIONAL PARK

Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (BTSNP) is one of the conservation areas in Indonesian that functions as a protected area, a biosphere reserve area, and a tourism destination. The research was conducted to determine the BTSNP sustainable competitiveness potential as a tourism destination as well as conservation area. This research used secondary data obtained from the TripAdvisor site in 2018 and primary data obtained through interviews, FGD, documentation, and observation. The data was analyzed by using a sentiment analysis approach based on the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) concept. The result showed that BTSNP’s sustainable competitiveness was most negatively influenced by tourism policy and environmental conditions. To overcome those of negative impacts, the related stakeholders need to apply more suitable policies based on natural and social condition of BTSNP, such as biosphere reserve and local tourism clustering-based policy. The purpose of developing a new local tourism attraction (clustering) in BTSNP was to overcome waste and excess tourist capacity in the BTSNP protected area. The clustering also aims to maximize local tourism development strategies based on the biosphere reserve concept in the BTSNP area. So, the policies related to biosphere reserve and tourism clustering can effectively increase sustainable competitiveness ecotourism in BTSNP.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Models for calculating the ecotourism potential in the Arctic region

Ecotourism as the basis for the territory development is determined by a certain quantitatively measured capacity of the territory. Also, all planned activities cannot exceed the load level, which is calculated for the tourist destination to retain its properties. The relevance of the study of calculating the ecotourism potential model is connected with the Arctic region currently being unique in its properties, which makes its tourist capacity is very limited. The novelty of the study is the development of a methodology for assessing the potential of ecotourism, factoring in the shortcomings of all current methods of such an assessment. The authors consider not only the evaluation mechanism itself, but also present its mathematical apparatus. In particular, it is determined that for each of the regions the introduction of correlation coefficients is required depending on the specialization of a particular region. The authors identify features of the assessment on the part of not only the management mechanism, but also the convenience of conducting the assessment for tourists themselves. The practical application of the developed assessment system is the construction of user-specific mechanisms for assessing and rating regions by the ease of use and the availability of tourism infrastructure.

Retracted] Study on Regional Control of Tourism Flow Based on Fuzzy Theory

In order to solve the problems of poor regional control effect and high control difficulty coefficient of a traditional tourism flow, this paper puts forward the research of a regional control of tourism flow based on fuzzy theory. The capacity of regional tourism is determined by analyzing the factors that influence the regional control of the tourism flow. The regional tourism flow is divided into different time series by automatic clustering algorithm, the same sample data is fused, and the Euclidean distance between traffic is obtained. The regional tourism flow prediction model is constructed according to fuzzy theory. On this basis, the real‐time capacity of regional scenic spot flow is calculated, and the regional tourist flow control model is constructed to realize the regional tourist capacity control. The experimental results show that the regional control error of tourism flow is always lower than 0.40, and the difficulty coefficient of control is low, which has certain advantages.

МІЖНАРОДНИЙ ТУРИЗМ У КАТАЛОНІЇ В УМОВАХ ПОЛІТИЧНОЇ НЕВИЗНАЧЕНОСТІ (2017– 2020 РОКИ)

The purpose: Analysis of the primary tendency and dynamics of international tourism in Catalonia in conditions of political uncertainty after the referendum on October 1, 2017, on the independence of the community. Methods: In the process of writing the article were used methods such as analytical, chorological, correlation, statistical. The author relied upon the method of tourist zoning, based on the fact that Catalonia is a territory with certain signs of autocracy. This area in terms of development cycles has entered its third stage, characterized by the achievement of tourist capacity and a change in the attitude of the population to foreign tourists. Results: Examining the development of international tourism, the author concluded that the 2017 referendum had a moderate impact on Catalonia's tourism sector. The catastrophic decline in tourist flows didn't happen, as was the case in Tunisia or Egypt. Insignificant to some extent the number of foreign tourists to the community even increased, but their pace of growth began to lag behind the Spanish and several communities in the country, in particular the Canary Islands, Valencia, Madrid. Scientific novelty: Catalonia's authorities' intention to leave the kingdom was traced to influence one of the most developed areas of the regional economy – tourism, in particular its most profitable sector, focused on a foreign visitor. It is proved, that there is no significant decrease in the arrival of tourists from abroad, given the excellent infrastructure and political uncertainty of the future relations between Barcelona and Madrid. At the same time, the atmosphere of hospitality and financial indicators of tourist service establishments. Practical significance: The example of Catalonia demonstrates that any political turbulence affects international tourism. Positive tourist image of the region/country, good-adjusted to the needs of tourists the sphere of services, and the absence of significant political shocks can mitigate this effect as much as possible, although they cannot neutralize it.

Perspective directions of development of local gastronomy tourism in the conditions of European integration

The article identifies the main aspects of gastronomy tourism in Ukraine and in the world and possible prospects and trends for further development of gastronomy tourism in our country. The variety of gastronomic festivals and tours in the leading regions of the country available in Ukraine are analyzed. Factors and entities of development of gastronomic tourism in each region and the reasons of their uneven application are allocated. The perspective areas of gastronomy tourism development in Ukraine to create a promising and competitive product on the international market of tourist services are outlined. Ukraine as a new tourism destination is increasingly establishing itself on the tourists’ travel map. The information is supplemented by various ratings from international tourist guides, which recommend travelers to turn their eyes to Ukraine. In Ukraine, the tourism industry is in its infancy, but its operation has a significant impact on the economy and is quite promising. Ukraine has very promising conditions and opportunities for activating the tourist capacity, in particular, due to the availability of unique natural and recreational resources, historical and cultural monuments, rich flora and fauna, areas of various forms of recreation, interesting and delicious dishes. Forming the innovation clusters, which are groups of enterprises, firms, organizations, and institutions operating in one (or several related) business area by economic interests and regional characteristics is one of the perspective forms of economic integration and development in the tourism industry of Ukraine. The advantage and novelty of the cluster approach are that it provides significant importance to the microeconomic component, as well as the territorial and social aspects of economic development. In modern conditions, the improvement of methods of organizational, financial, and resource-based support for tourism development at the macro, meso-, and micro levels is highly relevant. The intensification of the tourism companies’ activity should be based on the expansion of the possibilities of regional investment processes management in the specified direction and the combination of efficient state regulation of the economy with market self-regulation.

The organization of hostel as perspective activity for the sphere of small business

In article creation of hostel as perspective idea for development of small business is offered. The hostel is a temporary accommodation, but unlike hotels, it does not rent rooms but places, the list of services is narrowed, but the price is much cheaper. The relevance of the idea consists in lack of similar institutions in the town, and in general, their not prevalence in Ukraine. However, existence of a significant amount of the budget tourists (students, pensioners, travelers, etc. persons) means development in the sphere of hospitality not only elite institutions, but also those which do not demand excess expenses and are provided by main types of services which have to provide comfortable stay in the town, in it and statement of a problem consists. Unfortunately, today very few researches concern the budgetary zone, in particular, questions of opening and functioning of hostels in Ukraine are still a little lit, and, therefore, need theoretical and practical completion. Highlights the advantages of the town for the development of hostels (historical, natural, economic). The hostel can become new and perspective business and rather demanded type of service. The ideas on the example of the prospects of creation of hostel in Izmail, carries out comparative analysis with hotels, proving economic calculations the author proves. Calculations of cost efficiency of investment of capital in such business prove that the organization of hostel will be profitable investment of capital for small business. The author receives a conclusion about validity and profitability of creation of hostels in the similar towns as one of types of business activity in calculation result. The submitted calculations show the possibility of creating a hostel on the basis of a small business, ensuring its efficient functioning and profitability. Therefore, in conclusions the thought concerning expediency of creation in the small towns with a probable tourist capacity of hostels as tourist service, and for development of small business is stated.

Governing nature-based tourism mobility in National Park Torres del Paine, Chilean Southern Patagonia

ABSTRACTNature-based tourism is a mobile activity shaped by the capacity of tourists for displacement and the socio-material infrastructure allowing flows. However, the literature has scarcely addressed aspects of mobility in governing nature-based tourism. Taking the case of the National Park Torres del Paine we explore three aspects of mobility in nature-based tourism using the concepts of routes, frictions, and rhythms. Our findings show that the movement of tourists challenges spatially bounded forms of governance. Instead, we argue, new mobility-sensitive forms of nature-based tourism governance are needed that can complement the use of fixed-boundary conservation enclosures.

Odrednice odanosti lokalnog stanovništva prema marki turističke destinacije

Uspješan razvoj turističke destinacije determiniran je proaktivnim djelovanjem svih njenih dionika. Ključni dionici turističke destinacije su, pored turista, zaposlenici u turizmu, poslovni subjekti u turizmu kao nositelji turističke ponude, lokalna samouprava, investitori u turističke sadržaje i lokalno stanovništvo. U radu se polazi od postavki da je lokalno stanovništvo zaposleno u turizmu ključni čimbenik koji pridonosi izgradnji prepoznatljivosti destinacije i njene diferencijacije u odnosu na druge turističke destinacije. Na osnovi rezultata prošlih istraživanja i istraživanja na terenu ispituje se kojim mehanizmima lokalno stanovništvo, a posebno oni koji djeluju i zaposleni su u turizmu, pridonose izgradnji marke turističke destinacije. U tu svrhu provedeno je ispitivanje putem anketnog upitnika na namjernom uzorku u više turističkih destinacija u Hrvatskoj. Utvrđeno je da svijest o marki turističke destinacije pozitivno utječe na percipiranu vrijednost marke turističke destinacije te da percipirana vrijednost marke turističke destinacije pozitivno utječe na odanost prema marki turističke destinacije, što u konačnici utječe na razvoj marke destinacije. Rad nije istražio sve utjecajne veličine na stvaranje marke turističke destinacije, u čemu je njegovo ograničenje, ali je ukazao na nova područja istraživanja i potencijal ponuđenih rezultata za upravljačke strukture u turizmu u izgradnji marke turističke destinacije.

Attractiveness of protected areas for geotourism purposes from the perspective of visitors: the example of Babiogórski National Park (Poland)

AbstractThis article examines the tourist role of protected areas important for their unanimated nature potential. In Poland the highest form of legal protection is a national park. Babiogórski National Parks is one of 23 national parks in Poland. The aim of this article is to present its tourist attraction based on its geotourist potential considered by tourists who visit this park. At the beginning a brief history of protection of Babia Góra is presented. Based on stock-taking sightseeing method an analysis of the most important tourist attractiveness elements (like infrastructure or tourist values) is done. The focus on the values of unanimated nature is made grouping them into four main categories. As the result of research on infrastructure the most important accommodation units were indicated present at the surroundings of this National Park which is vital for its tourist capacity. For the correct functioning of tourist movement at the protected area the supporting infrastructure is important bearing a lot of functions. The function of channeling of the tourist movement as well as the didactic function are the most important for protection and correct use of geotourist values. Among the many elements of the supporting infrastructure the most important ones are tourist and didactic routes (their course and themes are presented). The most important part of the article is the presentation of the participants of the tourist movement opinions on the Babiogórski National Park tourist attractiveness. A survey was conducted and then analysed on 308 respondents in 2011. They were asked to judge both the quality of infrastructure as well as attraction of geotourist values together with their adaptation to reception by the tourist movement. The results analysis served as a base to appraise the state and perspectives for the geotourism development in Babiogórski National Park from the point of view of the receivers of tourist product i.e. the protected area.

Benčmarking analiza turizma u nacionalnim parkovima Tara i Kopaonik

The most visited national parks of Serbia are Kopaonik and Tara. The aim of the paper is to compare these two national parks as tourist destinations and to highlight the importance of tourism planning in national parks. Data on the current state of tourism in the Tara National Park and Kopaonik National Park were collected through a review of relevant literature and websites, and analyzed in terms of comparison, i.e. using benchmarking and statistical methods. The benchmarking analysis was carried out for these two most visited national parks of Serbia, but it should be emphasized that the motives for visiting these destinations are not only their natural values. Kopaonik is the most visited mountain in Serbia after Zlatibor and an attractive winter resort not only on the domestic but also on the international tourism market. The tourist capacities of Kopaonik are greater and better in terms of quality than those located on the mountain of Tara and tourist traffic is greater on Kopaonik than on the Tara mountain.

Stanje i tendencije razvoja turističke ponude Općine Kupres (BiH)

Data on tourism represent a basic indicator of the tourist market situation. The very course of the development of a tourist destination, the distribution of tourist resources, as well as the possibility of implementing changes in the tourist offer, all depend upon this data. Strong competition and the increasingly demanding visitors cause the responsible authorities to conduct constant planning and coordination. The term "tourist planning" implies an integral and strategic planning which includes: destination analysis, defining goals, adoption of strategies and programs, planning of land usage, organization of market, defining the desirable economic effect of tourism, and the cooperation of all subjects in the tourist offer. The efficacy of such planning reflects in the tourism indicators which serve as a framework for the assessment of an existing situation and the forming of management guidelines. One of the most relevant indicators of conditions is the opinion of tourists who rate the advantages and the shortcomings of tourist offer in the area which they visit, as well as the opinion of the indigenous population which participates in the creation of the tourist offer.The results of this paper are based upon the conducted survey among the visitors of sport-recreational centres Čajuša and Stožer, and the indigenous population of Kupres municipality. The structural characteristics of the examinees and the values of the actual opinions on the tourist offer have been determined. The perceived discrepancies in the answers from Croatian and domestic visitors indicate a tradition of visiting similar European destinations. The increase in number of tourists by 50% has been achieved in the last several years, primarily thanks to the snowmaking on the ski slopes, but also due to an improved tourist offer (ski courses, ski-lifts, ski kindergarten, snowboard slopes, traditional food, etc.). Although the pre-war tourist capacities still wait for a renewal, the foreign investments rapidly restructure the tourist offer and have a positive impact on the economy.The use of GIS technology has allowed a simple analysis and data storage, making it possible to create a cartographic visualization. Thus, an accuracy in data presentation has been ensured, and each of the attractive factors in tourism has been associated with attribute data in the database. This type of planning guarantees a more responsible and efficient management of resources of a tourist destination and is crucial for the overall economic development of an area

The Economic Crisis in Kurdistan Region and its Impact on Foreign Investment

Tourism development challenges on the Dead Sea shore

Abstract The Dead Sea along with Jerusalem belongs to one of the most well-known spots visited by tourists in Israel. Because of many factors, such as the water level of the Dead Sea at a depth of 430 m b.s.l. (in 2015), average salinity of 26%, hot springs and many healing salts located there, it is a unique tourist attraction on a global level. Its attractiveness is heightened by its proximity to other sites of interest, such as the Jewish fortress at Masada, Jericho, Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, as well as Petra, Madaba and Al-Karak on the Jordanian side of the Dead Sea. High salinity and a microclimate create perfect conditions for the development of health resorts and medical tourism. Extracting healing salts from its waters for the needs of the chemical industry is important for both the economy and medical tourism. However, as a consequence of the agricultural and urban use of the waters of the River Jordan, which flows into the Dead Sea, a persistent decrease in the lake water level has been observed over the last century. This has created a number of economic and political issues. The problems which still have to be resolved are associated with the Red Sea-Dead Sea Conduit (Canal), the division of Jordan’s water resources, conservation of the unique reservoir of the Dead Sea and the threat of hindering the development of tourism within the region. The presentation of these issues is the main aim of this research paper. The study is based on the analysis of changes in tourism flows, results of research studies and the prognosis of changes in the water level of the Dead Sea. It presents an assessment of the effects of this phenomenon on the tourist economy. At the current level of tourism flows within the region, the tourist capacity of local beaches will be exceeded in areas where the most popular tourist resorts are located. Increased expenditure on development of tourism infrastructure in the coastal zone can also be observed. The predicted decreasing water level will result in further modifications and expansion of tourism infrastructure, decreased accessibility to the coastline for tourists, increased costs of visiting and may lead to an ecological disaster.
