 RESUMOEste estudo tem como objetivo apresentar o impacto pandemia da Covid-19 nos empreendimentos do setor do turismo em Aracaju/SE. Setenta e seis empreendimentos do setor de turismo e hospitalidade participaram da pesquisa respondendo a um questionário com foco em três principais construtos: Impacto econômico, medidas governamentais para a crise e políticas públicas para a retomada do turismo. Os dados foram coletados usando um questionário on-line autoadministrado, no período de 01 a 15 de julho de 2020, além da pesquisa de campo com a aplicação do questionário nos empreendimentos turísticos localizados na Orla de Aracaju/SE. A análise teve como base a estatística descritiva. Os resultados principais demonstram que houve 405 demissões do início da pandemia até junho/20 e que 58% dos empreendimentos tiverem uma queda acima de 76% no faturamento, sendo que a recuperação desse faturamento, para 49% dos entrevistados só se dará em 2021, mas para 32% só após 2021. Em relação às medidas governamentais, para 53% os governos deveriam reduzir os impostos (federais, estaduais e municipais) e 36% acreditam que a concessão de empréstimos com juros baixos seria a melhor opção.  Dentre as políticas públicas para a retomada do turismo, 65% dos entrevistados afirmaram que a melhor medida governamental na pós-pandemia é melhorar divulgação do destino, colocando Sergipe nas vitrines do mercado de turismo e 10% acreditam que a melhoria da infraestrutura turística é mais necessária.Palavras-chave: Covid-19.

This paper focuses on the dynamic of the recent upheaval in the tourism and hospitality sector due to the COVID-19 epidemic in Greece and Santorini island. It uses the case study of a country one-fourth of whose GDP consists of tourism. We compare the available statistical data showing the change in variables in the previous years with 2020 and look into the new challenges and opportunities posed by the drop in the numbers of visitors and flights. We focus mainly on the economic and social impact on the destination and possible future scenarios for further development in the area. Data show a significant effect of the pandemic on multiple variables, such as the long-term trend of the importance of tourism sector in GDP in Greece, the number of flights and visitors to Greece and Santorini island, and the contribution of tourism and travel to GDP. Based on the available data, we also construct three foresight scenarios that describe the possible futures for Santorini island in terms of the pandemic evolution. These scenarios may help various stakeholders and policymakers to be better prepared for different developments that may appear.

The research about the population of individual inventors/innovators in Croatia was carried out with the aim of finding answers to the following questions: 1. How many inventions/patents in Croatia are (not) commercialized; 2. What are the reasons of (un)successful commercialization of Croatian individual inventors' inventions/patents; 3. Is there any correlation between various forms of support for inventors / patent owners and successful commercialization; 4. Could education/training contribute to the successful commercialization of inventions/patents? The research was designed and carried out on individual inventors/innovators in Croatia via combination of online questionnaire and telephone interviews. The acquired data were analysed by descriptive statistics and nonparametric inferential statistics. Based on the results of the research, the literature and practical experience, a typology of individual inventors / innovators has been created. The research limitations relate to the lack of the institutional data and literature regarding the individual inventors. In addition to practical contribution of the findings regarding the public policies, there is also a theoretical contribution to existing literature.

Toxin handlers are a vital constituent for organizations as these individuals tend to absorb disruptive emotions and feelings of other members of staff. However, as they carry this burden, they are prone to emotional exhaustion, which can lead to burnout on personal levels. This is a matter of critical importance for HR managers as they are commonly the ones, who deal with such struggles within a company. This current research addresses the issue of burnout for toxin handlers in the tourism sector with the inclusion of coping strategies as a mediating factor by gathering data from a number of 180 HR managers within tourism and hospitality sector. A multi-group analysis and PLS-SEM approach was used to test the hypothesized model. It was found that female managers exhibited a difference to their male counterparts in handling toxin through emotion-focused coping strategies. Current results have shown that female managers in HR departments perform better in handling charged emotions of employees and provide solutions for their staff. This is while coping strategies can act as a mediating element for toxin handlers to defuse their exhaustion that is accumulated through constant interacting with negative emotions.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess how far the government of Zimbabwe’s tourism policies and strategies have affected the development of the tourism and hospitality sector. Methods: The study was based on a review of the literature on tourism development in Zimbabwe. A range of peer-reviewed papers, reports from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). reports from the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA), and those of the Ministry of Environment, Tourism, and Hospitality Industry were consulted. The information offered a clear picture of how far the government had contributed to influencing the development of the tourism and hospitality industry during the period. Results: The results of the study showed that for the period up to 2000 the government played only a facilitating role in the development of the sector. The results further showed that the government took a more proactive role in planning the development of the industry only when the persistent negative image of the country threatened the collapse of the sector. Implications: It is recommended that the country effectively implements the National Tourism Master Plan and the National Tourism Sector Strategy which were launched in 2016 and 2018 respectively. A constant review of the National Tourism Sector Strategy will ensure an effective response to the global and national macro-economic, social and political changes that will occur during the plan period.

Tourism is an ever evolving and a dynamic industry which can play a crucial role in increasing income and in providing employment opportunities in an economy. India especially with its rich heritage, culture and geographical landscapes has always had immense potential to become a leading tourist destination. Presently the major types of tourism prevalent in India are Medical Tourism, Rural/ Natural Tourism, Religious Tourism and Historical& Educational Tourism. In 2018-19, the tourism sector contributed around 5% to India’s GDP. However with the health shock of Covid-19, the tourism sector has taken a major hit since early 2020, with several people losing their jobs in the tourism and hospitality sector when different states imposed lockdowns and took various measures to curb the pandemic. As restrictions in each state eased during the first wave of the pandemic, different states in India adopted various policies to revive the tourism industry. But to understand the effectiveness of these policies in each state/ UT, one needs to investigate the baseline at which the Tourism industry was before the pandemic hit the country. This paper attempts to look at the differential performances of states and UTs of India in tourism by categorizing them into various types of tourism between 1947 until March 2020.This paper aims to act as a base for further analysing the impact of this pandemic on Tourism across states in India.

PurposeThe present research aims to examine a range of momentum trading strategies for the tourism and hospitality sector.Design/methodology/approachThe paper followed the methodology of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) to construct the portfolios. In this methodology, all portfolios were formed and evaluated by their cumulative stock returns over the past J periods and holding the position for the next K periods. In total, nine formation and holding periods were used, represented by 3, 6 and 12. For example, strategy 3–3 (that is, strategy with J = 3 and K = 3) refers to the strategy that stocks are ranked based on their previous three months and then held for the next three months.FindingsThe findings demonstrated that none of these momentum investing strategies was profitable. Most of the results, however, show positive, but insignificant momentum returns. This finding can be interpreted as price reversal over a horizon of three to twelve months in the US hospitality and tourism sector. These results are robust to size, different formation and holding combinations, beta and turnover.Research limitations/implicationsRegarding the research limitations, this paper only considers the US tourism and hospitality sector. Therefore, the extension of results to other developed and developing markets should be taken carefully. Also, this paper relies only on the methodology of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993). Other methodologies could be suitable avenues for future research.Practical implicationsInvestors and portfolio managers who seek for earning abnormal returns by investing in the US HT stocks can attain their hopes by constructing portfolios based on existing guidelines in the literature and adopting a short-term reversal trading strategy or by buying past losers and selling past winners of the US tourism and hospitality stocks.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the hospitality finance literature by offering the investors who are interested in the US hospitality and tourism sector an uncomplicated trading rule that uses real return data and is expected to generate actual returns. Moreover, the momentum strategy of Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) is never used in the hospitality finance literature.

The transformation of tourism into a remarkable phenomenon of the twentieth century was due, among other things, to the development of human social needs, for the implementation of which there were quite a lot of opportunities in the field of tourism and hospitality. In particular, this was reflected in the formation of various types of tourism and the development of new types of accommodation and temporary accommodation, especially individual ones. The purpose of the study is to identify the possibility of interpreting social needs realized in the field of tourism and hospitality as manifestations of a special need — the need for tourism as such, which must be met even in conditions of external restrictions, which are considered to be the provisions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The research was carried out using methods of generalization, systematization, analysis and synthesis of material corresponding to the topic. Achievement of the goal of the study involved the solution of three tasks such as revealing the nature of social needs and determining the relationship between their state and the development of the tourism and hospitality sector; analyzing the features of meeting the social needs of tourists in the individual accommodation facilities sector; identifying opportunities to meet social needs in the special conditions of the tourism and hospitality sector (overcoming the restrictions caused by the pandemic). Tourism is interpreted as a special socio-cultural need of a person as a traveler and as a form of meeting other social needs. The development and implementation of the latter is determined by the opportunities associated with the sphere of tourism and hospitality, a special role among which is currently played by the individual accommodation facilities (IAF). Since the need for tourism, for example, relating to the need to get new experiences, does not have a saturation limit, then when unfavorable conditions are formed (for example, pandemics) it does not disappear, but remains in a latent form. It can be implemented even if there are minimal opportunities to overcome restrictions. On the one hand, the study showed that an incentive is being formed for the further development of virtual forms of meeting social needs in the tourism sector in the current conditions associated with the pandemic. On the other hand, it showed that the need for «live» tourism remains.

This article examines the importance of the hotel industry and tourism in the world and its current trends and its important role in supporting investment and gross national product, and employment in different countries. In developing countries such as Syria, despite the presence of a climate suitable for tourism and hotel investments, this potential is not used for various reasons, such as the lack of financial support for these investments or the lack of marketing and advertising tools, the lack of qualified and trained personnel in tourism, inefficient tourism development policies, and due to security concerns. The article discusses the promotion of tourism and the hotel sector in these countries, proposals to increase investment opportunities in the tourism sector and hospitality in developing countries (for example, Syria) are considered.
