Homestay, as a community-based tourism product of Malaysia has increased in popularity and demand among domestic and international tourists. Given that most of these operators comprised of adults who do not possess any background in the tourism industry, hence various forms of training should be emphasised in order to raise their quality of skills and hospitality. In line with the above qualitative approach was adopted to identify the extent to which a particular adult’s education (andragogy) is capable of increasing him/her knowledge in ensuring the success in the homestay programme. A study involving 5 homestays in Johor had produced 3 themes that discuss the needs of knowledge and skills of homestay operators which consisted of adults aged 40 years old and above.

Quality Of Products

The tourism industry requires that increasing attention be paid not only to the quality of products and services but also to the quality of the human resources that constitute one of its major assets, since tourism is essentially a people-centered service industry. As such, a high-quality skilled workforce will ensure greater competitiveness and innovation, improved job prospects, repeat tourist visits, and economic growth in South Africa. This study aims to establish how tourism graduates perceived their abilities in terms of knowledge and skills and how the tourism industry evaluated tourism graduates' actual abilities in terms of knowledge and skills within the tourism industry. The researchers adopted a sequential, explanatory mixed-method that entails combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The researchers conducted a quantitative survey of a purposive sample of 561 managers, supervisors, and owners of tourism industry establishments, as well as tourism graduates exposed to the industry and those working in the tourism industry. Semistructured interviews were also conducted with 12 participants who were purposively selected. This study found that the tourism industry experiences graduates as being comfortable with technology, having a professional appearance, as well as outgoing—their three top actual abilities. However, graduates were perceived to lack entrepreneurial skills. In addition, work experience, negotiation skills, and career planning were among the lowest ranked actual abilities of tourism graduates. Actual knowledge and skills gaps indicate a lack of the educational expertise required, as it underpins the curriculum in a tourism qualification and adds extensive value to the tourism industry when recruiting, training, and developing staff.

There are several challenges on way to the forming modern international tourist center on the territory of Crimea meeting the criteria of a year-round, demand and competitiveness. The harmonization of tourism product’s prices and its quality is the main among them. Existing currently unbalanced price policy of tourist service enterprises in the territory of the peninsula could have a negative impact on the region’s image and lead to the loss of competitive position in the market of tourist services. This explains the relevance of this study and its purpose. The research aimed at evaluating the experience of successful development of tourism in foreign destinations and analyzing the factors influencing the pricing policy of tourist service enterprises in the Crimean destinations. To achieve the objectives of the study the authors analyze the approaches to the definition of "destination" and "image". There are a variety of definitions of these terms, but they are all focused on a consumer’s comprehensive perception of tourism product. The distinctive features of main consumer of tourist services in Crimea are established. The reasons for the success of tourism in the destinations in Turkey and Egypt are analyzed. The authors have revealed that the government's efforts to support enterprises in Crimean tourism industry create preconditions for improving the quality of tourism products and the introduction of pricing policies aimed at reducing prices. The article provides an analysis of the factors influencing the pricing policy of tourist service enterprises in Crimean destinations through the method of PEST-analysis. The authors concluded that the current pricing policy of the majority of tourist service companies on the territory of the Republic of Crimea, is apart from the pricing policy of its nearest competitors, does not meet the quality of service and, therefore, does not meet the expectations of the consumers.

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive disease that targets many aspects of the nervous system, both motor and non-motor functions. Dance as an intervention provides a creative outlet that can be more motivating than other interventions by allowing people an opportunity for not only increased movement and activity, but also socialization. Creative expression through dance also has the potential to improve not only motor capabilities like balance, but also non-motor aspects like self-efficacy, cognition, and quality of life. For the community program described in this presentation, dance faculty led the dance and choreography components of the program while an occupational therapist (OT) served to maximize options for adaptations, safety, and accessibility. OT faculty also led efforts in gathering and analyzing data regarding community participation and program design utilizing a qualitative approach by conducting semi-structured interviews with five participants (four with PD, one with hydrocephalus, all over age 65) in the program. Content analysis of the data suggests some emerging themes which include: 1) forming common bonds and making friendships within the class due to PD diagnosis and similar enjoyment of the class, 2) increased appreciation and enjoyment of music, 3) appreciation of dance instruction, and 4) how transportation options, or lack thereof, impact participation in the class. These themes will assist in informing future program delivery with the hopes of reaching a larger contingent of the community who may also be interested in dance.

Current condition, problems and prospects for the domestic tourism industry development are studied. The main aspects hindering the tourism industry development in the country are considered and require further solutions. The current normative legal acts regulating issues in the field of tourism are considered and the attention is focused on the lack of correlation between the normative regulation of the branch and the share of revenues from the provision of tourist services in the country's GDP. It is determined that further reorganization and development of tourism in our country is not possible without the active support and direct intervention of the state. The authors proposed the measures, the implementation of which will help harmonize national standards in the field of tourism and resorts with international standards and help improve the quality of the national tourism product. It is proved that the development of the tourism industry directly depends not only on strengthening state regulation of tourism at the national level, but also at the regional level, especially since the tourism management system at the regional and local levels in decentralization in Ukraine is far from perfect. Emphasis is placed on the need to implement EU legislation in the field of tourism and resorts, which contributes to the improvement of tourism legislation and developed recommendations for the implementation of mechanisms for tourism development in the country.
