El turismo cultural urbano tras la pandemia de la COVID-19: una perspectiva y propuestas de un modelo alternativo El turismo era una máquina en continuo crecimiento hasta su paralización con la pandemia de la COVID-19. En las ciudades, se incrementaban sus impactos negativos y había situaciones de sobreturismo. La pandemia es un momento disruptivo y excepcional. Es una ocasión para abandonar el camino hacia la insostenibilidad. Este artículo es un análisis turístico crítico donde se plantea cuál es la perspectiva pospandémica del turismo cultural urbano con una visión alejada de la búsqueda del lucro como fin último. El objetivo principal es plantear propuestas de un modelo alternativo y sostenible. Es un trabajo teórico que recurre a la revisión literaria de 180 obras científicas. De manera complementaria, se accede a las informaciones de los medios y se realiza una observación de la realidad, con trabajo de campo. Se propone una limitación de los visitantes y una mejora en la calidad mediante visitas guiadas, rutas turísticas, turismo experiencial y turismo virtualizado. Y se plantea una nueva gobernanza turística centralizada y una regulación de los agentes privados. Se considera que el artículo es de interés para los responsables públicos del turismo en las ciudades.

Realist Perspective

The author elaborates on methodological issues of current tendencies in neoclassical theory and demonstrates the necessity of an alternative model of science, which he calls "realist". According to this perspective, constant and regular conjunctions of economic life events should not be the main object of analysis. Rather, the author proposes to consider structures and mechanisms governing events in question. Instead of deductivism, which, as Lawson believes, is a fundamental feature of orthodox economics, the abductive method of economic explanation is proposed that entails investigation of major powers, on which any social phenomenon depends. Society is thereby regarded not as a closed, but rather as an open system.

Interreligious Education

Some circles suggest that the phenomenon of intolerance and religious conflict in Indonesia will be reduced by a religious education model dominated by a mono-religious approach. The approach that focuses on deepening the knowledge of all religions is considered to be the cause of the persistence of interfaith stigma and prejudice. However, there are objections from various circles to the concept and application of interreligious education which requires close dialogue and interaction, an appreciative attitude, and openness to adherents of other religions. This article argues that the development of a peaceful and diverse mono-religious education approach is possible. This study employs Mohammed Abu-Nimer's theory as an alternative model of Islamic peace education that is strategic, participatory and practical; it focuses on his experience in conflict areas and in the Islamic education environment, which is often stigmatized conservatively in the Middle East and Africa. This study confirms that monoreligious education provides room for peace education that builds pedagogy of tolerance, diversity and human rights.

Some of the renowned world tourism countries have special peculiarities in character in terms of their nature reserves and built environments; that made them stand out for their attractions and visits. These qualities range from conservation and preservation of nature reserves, built environments- epoch architectural supports over the years; historical heritage; political; religious; socio-economic; cultural; and  high technology that enhance culture. The virtues of multi- ethnic groups and multi- cultural nature gave Nigeria a rich cultural heritage, and she is blessed with natural wonders, unique wildlife, and a very favorable climate. More often than not less attention and importance are placed over the nature reserves and built environments to the detriment of tourism in lieu of other sectors. Summarily the country lacks the culture of conservation and preservation of her abundant resources to promote cultural tourism. Case study strategy was applied in the research tours with reports of personal experiences, documentaries and analyses of sites visited in Europe and Nigeria were highlighted with references to their attributes in terms of structures and features that made up the sites as relate to culture and attraction.The task in keeping rural, city landscapes and nature reserves alive stands out as the secret of communication link from the past to present and the future; which tourism developed nations reap as benefits for tourist attraction.
