Domestic Values

In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon concluding WWI caused the Hungarian Kingdom to lose not only two-thirds of its area and population, but the country’s most important tourism destinations as well. This is the reason why the “domestic values” of the country were valorised in the following period in terms of tourism. Both the remaining tourism supply and the demand had to face significant changes; for instance, the paying guest system was introduced in Hungary at the time in question. Some new investments were made from 1922 onwards in these destinations, such as the establishment of holiday camps and hotels, but the development of tourism was primarily supported through government regulations and the creation of national and regional tourism authorities. Due to these investments and innovations the interwar period became a flourishing era for domestic tourism.

The article examines the main directions of diversification of the tourist and hotel product in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and after it. In the context of the restrictions caused by the global coronavirus pandemic, closed borders and the risks of traditional travel, there is an increase in demand in the domestic tourism market with a simultaneous transformation of demand, which requires new approaches to the formation of the tourism and hotel product both at the level of individual market participants and at the level of tourism. destinations. The author has identified three types of diversification: 1) diversification under the influence of digitalization; 2) diversification caused by the consumer behavior transformation in the context of the coronavirus pandemic; 3) diversification within the framework of the regional tourism ecosystems development. The author’s interpretation of the classification of tourist and hotel products in demand in the new reality, as well as the author’s organizational and technological model of tourism development in the tourist territory, based on a system approach and the results of scientific research, is presented.

Due to the continuous increase of the tourism industry, tourism destinations need to be managed under a sustainable framework, with the main aim of minimizing the adverse effects caused by tourism flows. In recent years, several attempts have been made to measure those effects and value the level of sustainability of every destination. A clear example of this is the European Tourism Indicator System (ETIS). In the paper, the results are presented of a project which aimed to test indicators of sustainable tourism in coastal destinations of Catalonia, Istrian Region, and Tuscany Region. The results of 33 collected indicators are available on the online platform of the project INTERREG MED MITOMED+. During the first year, in every category of indicators (economic, social-cultural and environmental) only some indicators were collected, which was expected because different regions apply different methodologies. The collected data is the starting point that shows destinations how the indicator can be obtained and what its purpose is. Furthermore, collected data can help local and regional tourism stakeholders to prevent factors of risk, to take decisions and to improve the implementation of policies for sustainable maritime and coastal tourism development in the Mediterranean area.

Tourism Destinations

Destinations around the world are adopting a resilience framework to deal with the increasing frequency and intensity of disasters affecting the tourism industry. However, agreed upon measures and models of resilience by the tourism industry have yet to be determined. This article proposes a scalable resilience model for tourism destinations, extending the application of the Regional Tourism Adaptation Framework (RTAF) to diverse types of risks and different size destinations. Specifically, it addresses gaps with the RTAF model and extends the model to address these gaps. As such, the article uses theories from the resilience literature as well as knowledge about the tourism industry to build out a more scalable and generalizable model. It further discusses limitations of the model that need to be tested in future studies.

The role of clusters for regional tourism, the stages of cluster formation and its advantages are considered. Business clustering contributes to raising awareness of the travel destination and enhancing branding through a combination of knowledge and resources. With the formation of a cluster, it is possible to increase the success of the regions by spending on tourism and visiting tourists. The purpose of the article is to find out how the tourism business in the regional direction can progress at the stages of cluster formation. Find out what contributes to the branding of the tourism business, significantly develops the tourism industry and contributes to the management know-how of cluster formation. It is noted that the creation of the cluster will improve the tourism brand of the region. The cooperation of stakeholders in the tourism business in promoting the branding of territories has been investigated and their effectiveness in various tourism destinations has been revealed. A cluster approach is proposed for regional tourism enterprises to create a tourism cluster using a step-by-step guide method. Business clusters can be implemented from the top down by regional authorities, or from the bottom up by a group of enterprises. A business cluster is directly guided by groups of enterprises and does not require public support; it has broader regional implications. Bottom-up clusters support intangible qualities better. A bottom-up approach is the most appropriate clustering style. However, even with in-depth research, there is still a significant lack of information about the formation of a cluster or the creation of a business cluster. It was revealed that the formation of the cluster at different stages made it possible to unite the enterprises of the tourism industry and improve the branding of the region through the creation of an event. The formation and functioning of a business cluster is a successful cooperation of stakeholders. Cooperation and clustering of the tourism business determines the management of tourist destinations and is the goal of improving cooperation between the subjects of the tourism market and government bodies in the region.

Purpose of the article – based on the sociological analysis results presented in the paper, the possibilities of regional tourism as one of the possible ways to meet the leisure practices of the population are highly considered. The cluster analysis helped us to identify the features of leisure practices in the field of domestic tourism for young generation and remaining population; compare and determine the difference in assessments of tourist recreation aspects, in order to identify specific ways to use the tourist potential of the region. The study of domestic tourism revealed a contradiction in the presence of a sufficiently high tourist potential of the region, on the one hand, and a low level of demand in the market of regional tourist services, on the other. In this case, the contradiction is based on cultural and historical heritage, the high leisure and recreational potential of the Orel region and the low level of provision of the main aspects of tourist recreation. A comparative analysis of young generation and remaining population allowed us to determine necessity of developing a complex of tourist services for youth, as a more mobile unit of the population, with the broadest requirements of leisure practices in the tourism industry.

In a globalized and interconnected world, and with increased leisure time, competition between tourism destinations has increased considerably. For this reason, the periodic measurement of tourism competitiveness has become a basic tool for tourism management today. It is not only necessary to determine the tourism competitiveness of destinations in a given period of time (static analysis); the continuous changes which are now occurring in the tourism industry also make it necessary to measure them from time to time (dynamic analysis). The periodic measurement of the competitiveness of Spanish regions as destinations is the objective of the Monitur report. This paper aims to analyze the evolution of one of its most important mainstays, namely the diversification and structuring of regional tourism products. Based on a set of 25 indicators, the relative evolution of the 17 Spanish Autonomous Regions regarding this mainstay between 2010 and 2018 has been compared, and those aspects in which the regions have shown increased relative competitiveness (convergence or competitive reinforcement) and those in which they have shown reduced relative competitiveness (divergence or competitive weakening) in each region have been identified. Based on the results obtained, a competitive benchmarking exercise was carried out to compare the evolution of Extremadura with that of the four regions with the best overall record in terms of competitiveness between 2010 and 2018. In this way it has been possible to suggest improvements in the region’s range of products and services so as to increase its tourism competitiveness in the medium and longer terms.

AbstractBeginning with the establishment of a Supreme Commission for Tourism and Antiquities’ (SCTA) in 2000, there have been official attempts by the government of Saudi Arabia to encourage domestic tourism in order to tap into the huge amounts that Saudis spend annually on vacations. This paper examines the motivations and attitudes of consumers toward tourism destinations and activities within the country (domestic tourism). Using data collected through a structured self-administered questionnaire, the study finds that familiarity and trust of the local environment, perceptions of the safer domestic environment, and limitations imposed by respondents’ vacation timing are the primary motives for choosing to spend their vacations locally, while lack of quality domestic tourist sites and services (including entertainment facilities), lack of tourism information, insufficient tourism organization services, and the harsh local environmental conditions during summer are factors that ‘push’ people from spending the vacations locally. Attitudes toward domestic tourism are generally negative, although there are significant differences in attitudes between respondents who prefer domestic destinations and those who prefer to travel out of Kingdom. Implications of the findings are outlined and discussed.

Tourism is an important component of the Indonesian economy as well as a significant source of the country’s foreign exchange revenues. According to the Center of Data and Information - Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the growth of foreign visitor arrivals to Indonesia has increased rapidly by 9.61 percent since 2010 to the present. One of the most potential tourism destinations is Komodo Island located in East Nusa Tenggara. With the island’s unique qualities, which include the habitat of the Komodo dragons and beautiful and exotic marine life, it is likely to be one of the promising tourism destinations in Indonesia and in the world. In 1986, the island has been declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism continuously promotes many of the country’s natural potential in tourism through various media: printed media, television and especially new media. However, there are challenges for the Indonesian tourism industry in facilitating entrepreneurship skills among the local people in East Nusa Tenggara. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (2011), East Nusa Tenggara is considered as one of the poorest provinces in Indonesia where the economy is lower than the average, with a high inflation of 15%, and unemployment of 30%. This research is needed to explore further the phenomenon behind the above facts, aiming at examining the role of new media in facilitating entrepreneurship in the tourism industry in Komodo Island. The results of this study are expected to provide insights that can help local tourism in East Nusa Tenggara. Keywords: Tourism, Entrepreneurship, New Media
