Destination management in a post-covid environment

PurposeThis paper seeks to reflect on the impacts of the pandemic on the management of tourist destinations, discussing the role of destination-management organizations in the tourism development model, as well as the challenges that these organizations must address to ensure an effective construction of a more sustainable and competitive tourism.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is based on a literature review linking destination management with pandemic and post-pandemic responses.FindingsThe COVID-19 pandemic represents an unprecedent shock to the tourism industry's growth model since World War II, challenging tourism stakeholders (destinations and companies) with several threats and opportunities to their future competitiveness. In addition to the massive impacts in terms of business development, the abrupt reduction of tourism demand and the significative loss of jobs, the pandemic also caused significant disruption in terms of destination-management models. In less than four months, the focus of Governments and Destination Management Organizations shifted from defining development models compatible with improving the quality of life of residents due to the emergence of the so-called overtourism phenomenon, to the urgent need to support the industry's survival, to preserve jobs and ensure conditions of safety for tourists and workers.Originality/valueDemonstrates the need for a profound change in the paradigm of destination management so that the sector is prepared to face future shocks. It also proposes further discussion on the role of destination management in the recovery process of the tourism sector in global terms, given the challenges that these organizations face. The article also considers the ways in which destination management can be a fundamental tool in the process of building a more inclusive, sustainable and competitive future.

REGARDING THE ACTIVITY OF A NATIONAL PARK DIRECTOR IN ENSURING THE SAFETY OF TOURISTS VISITING NATIONAL PARK AREAS

Purpose. The aim of the article is to analyse a national park director's legal position, roles, tasks and legal forms of operations in ensuring the safety of tourists visiting a national park. The objective of this analysis is also to determine whether the legal position, competencies and legal forms of activity at the disposal of the national park director are sufficient to ensure the safety of tourists visiting the national park. Method. The theoretical nature of this article determines the choice of research methods and their application. A dogmatic method (analytical and dogmatic) involving legal exegesis using linguistic and non-linguistic rules of legal interpretation is the predominant method applied in the article. Findings. The national park director’s legal status (including his/her position in the system of administering entities) is not clearly defined by the legislator and therefore, raises doubts. The legislature has not explicitly included this entity into the local authorities of consolidated and non-consolidated government administration. The legislator defines a national park director as a national park authority and a nature protection authority, directly indicating that this authority performs the tasks of a regional director aimed at nature protection within the national park area. The director of a national park may be classified as an administering entity, or on account of his/her tasks and powers, a public administration authority in a functional sense. However, it is misleading to treat national park directors as public administration authorities sensu stricto, i.e. the authorities who are part of the state machinery (authorities acting directly on behalf of the state or local self-governments), whose basic and, in principle, sole purpose is to perform public administration tasks (e.g. minister, province administrator, commune head). However, some authors consider national park directors to be public administration bodies sensu stricto [Makuch 2020, p. 527]. It has been confirmed in research that there is great diversity concerning tasks, powers and legal forms of operations at the disposal of a national park director, which can be used to ensure the safety of tourists visiting national parks. These are legal and factual activities of regulatory and non-regulatory nature. The tasks and competencies of national park directors include, first of all, protecting national park resources (environmental protection), which is the essence of their existence, and also providing access to national parks so as to ensure the safety of people who visit them. Research and conclusions limitations. The author focuses on analysis of the national legal framework. The origin of institutions and comparative legal analyses have been omitted. Practical implications. In the research, the current legal status is shown, and this can be considered the basis for further legislative work. Originality. To date, research on the national park directors' tasks, roles and legal forms of operation in ensuring the safety of tourists visiting national parks has been very scarce. Most of such issues are raised while discussing wider problems related to nature protection as well as tourism, and are not subject to in-depth examination [Wolski 2010, pp. 75-83]. In this context, it is worth noting that not only the national park directors' tasks and legal forms of activity require detailed analysis and evaluation, but their status in the state system and position in the system of administering entities as well. The current findings in this field are not sufficiently comprehensive and require further clarification. Type of paper. The article presents some theoretical concepts. It is a general overview article.

The Relevance of Skilled In-water Guides in Swim-With Wildlife Tours

Commercial in-water interactions (IWIs) with wildlife may hold potential risks for their participants. Precautionary mechanisms for mitigating such risk factors are crucial for safe human–wildlife encounters. One of those tools is the provision of skilled in-water guides, yet across the industry it is not a standard practice. This article communicates the relevance of in-water guides for the safety and well-being of tour participants, substantiated by semistructured interview data obtained in three case study locations in the South Pacific. Participants interacting with humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), New Zealand fur seals (Arctocephalus forsteri), and bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) reported various benefits from the presence of in-water guides, including anxiety relief, elevated confidence and perception of safety, and obtainment of information on animal behavior. Apart from tourist safety, a deployment of in-water guides would also constitute an effective way of managing inappropriate tourist behavior. Hence, the results of this study strongly suggest the inclusion of in-water guides in commercial operations for tourist safety and management in future licensing schemes.

SECURITY AND SAFETY OF TOURISTS AS A FACTOR FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM, BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF BULGARIAN BLACK SEA RESORTS

Different types of crimes are factors negatively affecting tourism worldwide. However, managers and even tourists themselves are refraining from submitting crime reports and whistleblows. The main goal of the study is to analyze the attitude of the hotels’ managers on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, regarding the submission of whistleblows to the competent authorities. In particular, managers of hotels in Albena, Golden Sands, Dunes, St. Constantine and Helena, and Sunny Beach are studied. The main research hypothesis is that hotel managers should ensure the safety of guests by reducing gaps in the control environment, preventing financial frauds, helping for environmental protection, and supporting the process of reporting crimes and suspicious behavior in the hotels. However, the current management policy relies mainly on the installed security devices and the Security Department staff. This results in applying no specific internal rules, procedures, and training for non-security department employees, regarding crime identification and timely reporting. The adopted research methods are based on the logical, deductive, and comparative methods, as well as on the methods of analysis and synthesis. For the empirical study, the method of in-depth interviews is used. The results of the study support the literature by presenting more in-depth data regarding the used security devices and assets by Bulgarian Black Sea resort hotels. Also, more data on the attitude of hotel managers on the safety and security of tourists and the submission of whistleblows, as a factor for sustainable development of tourism on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, is presented.

ANCAMAN DAN KESEDARAN PELANCONG WANITA TERHADAP ASPEK KESELAMATAN SEMASA PERCUTIAN DI KOTA KINABALU

The issue of tourist safety and security is not new, but studies on the awareness of female tourists on aspects of safety and security threats are still lacking and limited. Therefore, this article aims to (i) identify the types and factors of security threats that concern female tourists when traveling in a city and (ii) to examine their awareness of the safety aspects when traveling in the city. In the context of this study, the location chosen is the city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. This study uses quantitative approach through distribution of questionnaires. To this end, 93 respondents were selected randomly from those involved in women's tourism in this city. The findings showed respondents were concerned about the threat of being threatened or robbed, followed by the threat of abduction and rape. Subsequently, there were two main factors that posed a threat to female tourists when travelling in the city, namely location factors and congestion of tourist areas. For situations that secure safety when traveling in the city, the mean score of ‘very high’ is when there is a presence of security officers or police on duty in tourist areas. Meanwhile, the situation that recorded a ‘low’ mean score was when walking in the tourist hotspot at night. For the aspect of female tourists’ awareness of the safety aspects when travelling, the mean score for ‘very high’ is on the statement 'I am more concerned with safety when travelling in a new place'. They also scared when approached by a beggar while on vacation in Kota Kinabalu. In summary, the findings of this study are important and relevant to the stakeholders who are directly involved in enhancing the safety features of the city which will ultimately increase the confidence of tourists especially women to travel with a sense of safety while enjoying Kota Kinabalu city.

Investigation of Certain Components of Tourism Safety in the Visegrád Countries

Before 2019, tourism around the world was breaking records in numbers every year. If we compare the number of people involved in tourism with the values of a few decades ago, we can witness an amazing development. Concerning all four countries (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia) we can say that the historical roots are very similar. Still, at the same time, they have taken a specific and, in many cases, separate paths to reach the current level of development.The World Tourism Organisation does not consider Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia as a separate touristic region. However, considering the current touristic trends, we can say that more and more people arriving from far-away places look at this area as one region. During their holiday, they visit several countries. Those working in the field of tourism mostly speak the most common world languages. It is not easy to use exact indicators of the local population’s helpfulness, but most Europeans can be said to be understanding and helpful to tourists. The current study aims to introduce and analyse the current trends of tourism safety of the V4 countries.

Smart Interconnected Infrastructures for Security and Protection: The DESMOS Project

This paper presents “DESMOS”, a novel ecosystem for the interconnection of smart infrastructures, mobile and wearable devices, and applications, to provide a secure environment for visitors and tourists. The presented solution brings together state-of-the-art IoT technologies, crowdsourcing, localization through BLE, and semantic reasoning, following a privacy and security-by-design approach to ensure data anonymization and protection. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the solution was tested, validated, and evaluated via two pilots in almost real settings—involving a fewer density of people than planned—in Trikala, Thessaly, Greece. The results and findings support that the presented solutions can provide successful emergency reporting, crowdsourcing, and localization via BLE. However, these results also prompt for improvements in the user interface expressiveness, the application’s effectiveness and accuracy, as well as evaluation in real, overcrowded conditions. The main contribution of this paper is to report on the progress made and to showcase how all these technological solutions can be integrated and applied in realistic and practical scenarios, for the safety and privacy of visitors and tourists.

Peringkat Destinasi Dan Strategi Pengembangan Daya Tarik Wisata Pantai Di Kabupaten Bantul Yogyakarta

The rapid development of tourism in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta becomes a trigger for Indonesian people to choose Yogyakarta as a destination worth visiting with a variety of potential tourism.Bantul Regency is one of the areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta which borders directly with the Indian Ocean so that many have coastal tourist-oriented tourist destinations. Of the many beaches in the district of Bantul, each has its own beauty and characteristic respectively. Potential Attractiveness Coastal tourism in the district of Bantul in the book Tourism Statistics DIY 2016 include Parangtritis Beach, Samas Beach, Pandansimo Beach, Cave Beach Cave and Kuwaru Beach. The approach developed by the government through the Ministry of Tourism to improve the competitiveness of coastal tourism (marine) is to integrate the first dimension of infrastructure, accessibility, connectivity, activity, facilities, hospitality and market preferences. And the second is to increase synergy between local governments, business actors, and local communities (DITJEN Kerjasama ASEAN, 2015:19). However, not all the development of tourist areas can be applied in the coastal areas of Bantul regency that has a high sea wave and the proximity of the sea trough with coastal areas so it is very risky to the safety of tourists. Various complaints submitted by visitors, among others; there are still services that are not standard (expensive), there is a slum beach section, sometimes neglected discipline, clutter of land governance, multiple levies, and beach raids by various business activities make the potential of visits to coastal tourism in Yogyakarta reduced (Prasetya et al , 2015: 135). The purpose of this research is to know the most visited tourism potential and alternative tourism development strategy based on SWOT analysis. The research method used is descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that Parangtritis Beach became the most favorite beach with the number of visitors which increased from year to year. One of the SWOT analysis of tourism development strategy in Bantul regency tourism object is by creating a special place, which is built in such a way with the background of natural panorama of the beach, to exploit the passion of swafoto visitors (selfie) as part of modern marketing through social media tourists

Factors contributing to spatial\u2013temporal variations of observed oxygen concentration over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Oxygen (O2) is the most abundant molecule in the atmosphere after nitrogen. Previous studies have documented that oxygen concentration remains nearly constant (20.946%) at all altitudes. Here we show for the first time that oxygen concentration varies significantly from earlier consensus and shows strong spatial and seasonal differences. Field observations on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) indicate oxygen concentration of 19.94–20.66% (2018, n = 80), 19.98–20.78% (2019, n = 166) and 19.97–20.73% (2020, n = 176), all statistically different from earlier reports (p < 0.001) and are lower than the nearly constant. The mean oxygen concentration in summer (20.47%) is 0.31% higher than that of winter (20.16%) (n = 53) at identical locations in 2019, sampled in the Qilian Mountains, northwest QTP. We used LMG (The Lindeman, Merenda and Gold) method to estimate the relative contributions of altitude, air temperature and vegetation index (Fractional Vegetation Cover, FVC and Leaf Area Index, LAI) to oxygen concentration, which are 47%, 32% and 3% (FVC, R2 = 82%); 45%, 30% and 7% (LAI, R2 = 82%), respectively. These findings provide a new perspective for in-depth understanding on population risk in high altitude regions in the context of global climate change, to ensure the health and safety of residents and tourists in high altitude regions and promoting the stability, prosperity and sustainable development of high-altitude regions worldwide.

Model of Regional Tourism Competitiveness: Fuzzy Multiple-Criteria Approach (FDM-FAHP-PROMETHE II Framework)

Purpose: The aim of the article is to build a research, comprehensive and objective model that takes into account various factors determining the regional tourism competitiveness on the example of 21 counties in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. Degign/Methodology/Approach: The model uses the concept of fuzzy numbers, the Delphi method and two multi-criteria methods: AHP and PROMETHE II. An important scientific contribution to the issue of regional competitiveness of tourism is an in-depth look at several dozen different criteria, that have an impact on it. Collected data and the used research methods made it possible to reliably select those that should be noticed and developed by various stakeholders in the region. Findings: The main conclusion resulting from the research is the fact that the most important criteria for the level of tourist competitiveness of a destination include natural tourist attraction, anthropological tourist attractions, accommodation base, recreational infrastructure and catering base; whereas the criterion of safety and facilities for disabled tourists and para-tourist infrastructure is of little importance. The county with the highest level of tourism competitiveness is Kolobrzeg county, and the lowest - Pyrzycki county. Practical implications: An important scientific and practical contribution to the issue of regional competitiveness of tourism is an in-depth look at several dozen different criteria, that have an impact on it. Collected data and the used research methods made it possible to reliably select those that should be noticed and developed by various stakeholders in the region. Originallity value: Comprehensive approach to tourism competitiveness of regions with the use of multi-criteria method, which in an objective way indicates the aspects, features, attributes, factors evaluated as key in building the entity's position on the market.

Program Kesiapsiagaan Tsunami Usaha Hotel di Kawasan Pariwisata Anyer, Provinsi Banten

Increased tourism activity and the vulnerability of the Anyer tourism area on the coast of the Sunda Strait triggered the development of hotel preparedness for disaster risk reduction. The safety and security of tourists is the main focus of stakeholders, especially the hotel in realizing the coastal area of the Sunda Strait as a tsunami-resistant area. This study aims to identify tsunami preparedness programs for hotels in the tourism area of Anyer, the government programs of the Banten Province, and Serang Regency were also identified. Primary data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires, while secondary data were obtained through previous studies and local government policies. Data were analyzed using qualitative analysis methods. This study was carried out for six months in eight hotels in the Anyer tourism area. The results showed that hotels in the Anyer tourism area had not implemented the non-structural preparedness concept according to the tsunami ready hotel concept before the Sunda Strait Tsunami. The absence of standard tsunami operational procedures is one of the biggest causes of the number of casualties.
