Tourism Flows

This paper theoretically modifies the Anderson and Wincoop ( 2003 ) model on international trade to explain international tourism flows. In addition, this modified model can measure the effect of the Internet penetration at origin and destination countries through misinformation. The theoretical model implies that potential tourists use the Internet to gather information on their destination country through its websites. Through gravity model estimation, results show the significance of the Internet in the origin country as well as destination country.

<p> </p> <p>the present study deals with a more detailed, and updated, modified model that allows for the identification of internet usage patterns by gender. The model was modified due to the development of the internet and new access models, on the one hand, and to the fact that previous studies mainly focuses on various individual (non-interactive) influences of certain factors, on the other.</p> <i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup> <p>The Decision Tree (DT) method, which is used in our study, does not require a pre-defined underlying relationship. In addition, the method allows a great many explanatory variables to be processed and the most important variables are easy to identify. </p><p>Obtained results can serve as to web developers and designers, since by indicating the differences between male and female internet users in terms of their behaviour on the internet it can help in deciding when, where and how to address and appeal to which section of the user base. It is especially important to know their online preferences in order to enable the adequate and targeted placement of information, actions or products and services for the intended target groups.</p><p> <b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><br></p>

The Way

Globalisation, the Internet and social media have changed the kind of actors with influence in the wine industry and the way these actors create signals to communicate credible information about experience and trust attributes. Among the most prestigious experts in the world of wine are the Masters of Wine (MW). Although initially devoted to international trade, they have spread their activities and their opinion is more and more appreciated by producers and consumers. The main objective of this article is to determine this community of experts’ behaviour on Twitter. In order to do so, four factors (presence, activity, impact and community) have been considered. All Twitter profiles belonging to users awarded with the MW qualification were identified and analysed. In addition, a set of 35,653 tweets published by the MWs were retrieved and analysed through descriptive statistics. The results show MWs on Twitter as high attractors (number of followers), moderate publishers (original contents published), moderate influencers (number of likes and retweets), and low interactors (number of friends and mentions to other users). These findings reveal that the MW community is not using Twitter to gain or reinforce their reputation as an accredited expert in the wine industry, giving more influential space on Twitter to consumers and amateurs.

The present report on Tourism Market Trends in South Asia has been prepared as an information paper to the 31st meeting of the WTO Commission for South Asia. It follows a similar report which was completed in June 1994 and submitted to the 30th session of the South Asia Commission. The main objectives of this report are as follows: ?to analyze the latest trends of international tourism arrivals and receipts worldwide and in each of the six WTO regions; ?to highlight the performance of the various countries of South Asia Pacific as tourism destinations, earners and spenders; ?to analyze pattern and size of inbound tourism flows to selected destinations in South Asia from the main generating regions of the world; ?to show the latest trends in outbound tourism flows from selected generating markets within South Asia and from other regions of the World; ?to show the growth prospects of international tourism arrivals and receipts in selected South Asia destinations for 1995.

Antenna Model

Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) devices are often used to access the internet network, both for working and in information searching. Accessing the internet can be administered anywhere provided that the area is within the WiFi devices range. A WiFi device uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operating frequencies. There were several methods employed in the previous studies so that an antenna design could work in two different frequencies, i.e., winding bowtie method, Sierpinski method, and double-circular method. This paper employed a simple method, the slit method. The objective of this paper is to discover a simple antenna model that works on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. This paper employed a square patch microstrip antenna with a slit method. The dimensions of the designed square patch microstrip antenna were 42.03 mm × 27.13 mm × 0.035 mm. The antenna worked at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. The obtained simulation results after the optimization showed that the square patch microstrip antenna using the slit method acquired a value of S11 (return loss) of -10.15 dB at a frequency of 2.4 GHz and -37.315 dB at a frequency of 5 GHz.

The article describes the concept of fulfillment, its essence and role for ensuring effective international trade on the Internet. The structure and complex of basic and additional services of fulfillment were considered. The authors gave the specific features of fulfillment that define this type of activity. The advantages and disadvantages of fulfillment outsourcing were determined. It was justified the expediency of transferring this activity to a fulfillment operator, especially in cases when small companies and start-ups start to trade internationally. The structure and algorithm of providing fulfillment services by the operators were analyzed.

Previous Empirical Study

This study is devoted to the analysis of international tourism flows directed into Ukraine. Diagnostics of tourism flows according to regions of the world was carried out and the tendency of the increasing role of tourism both locally and internationally was noticed. The results of the previous empirical study confirmed that different social groups have their own specific patterns of tourism activity. It also showed what groups responded the most to globalization and the possible consequences it may have for tourism activities. Keywords: international tourism flows, tourism regions, motivation to travel, global imperatives, statistics of international tourism.

The Relationship

This chapter looks at the role of the participation continuum in helping to improve relationships that have been damaged as a result of digital addiction. Digital addiction in this context refers to what happens when a person with a compulsion who is not getting that compulsion fulfilled turns to the Internet and other digital technologies in order to fill the void. The chapter is a case study of two people called Person D and Person G in order to make them anonymous. Using medical and other records, it was found that a number of different interventions using the participation continuum could have resulted in changes in the relationship in either holding it together or preventing one party from posting malicious and defamatory comments. The chapter found that a theoretical model, with algorithmic principles applied, called the transitional flow of persuasion model would be able to understand the impacts of digital addiction and provide a means to remedy it.
