Abstract 5Bogota: Travel with Locals was established in 2013 with the goal of promoting creative tourism in Colombia. This start-up was conceived as a marketplace connecting local hosts with foreigners wishing to explore the city through different eyes, while fostering local sustainable development in the places they visit. Our experience with Colombian start-up 5Bogota (Bogota through the 5 Senses) underlines the importance of a methodical process integrating the creation of unique tourism experiences with the marketing strategies necessary for the development of a profitable business model, thus ensuring the social impact sought by the concept of creative tourism. This brief text outlines the methodology used to create and consolidate the experiences offered by 5Bogota. The methodology comprises eight stages, including context analysis, the study of the destination's characteristics, the establishment of the typology for the traveller and for the local host, the design of the tourism product, and the marketing strategy. In closing, a series of conclusions are presented to share the lessons learned through the application of this methodology at 5Bogota, and to identify the main key success factors for entrepreneurship in creative tourism.

As a large city with advantages in tourism infrastructure, Ho Chi Minh City is always considered the leading tourist centre of the country. The most important task of city tourism today is to improve quality and diversify products, making this industry one of the key economic sectors. Tourism potentials and advantages have not been effectively exploited to become a unique and attractive tourism product of Ho Chi Minh City. Some tourists seem to still only consider this as a stopover or transit point because there are large international and domestic routes before reaching other destinations in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City tourism is gradually losing this advantage when key tourist areas are completing international airports and convenient road transport infrastructure. In addition, Ho Chi Minh City tourism has also developed over the past time, but there are not many typical products. Therefore, before losing its advantages and its potential, Ho Chi Minh city should focus on building a unique and diversified tourism product system to attract tourists. This paper analyses the challenges that Ho Chi Minh City is facing and mention some recommendations. The results of the paper through the analysis process show that the tourism industry of Ho Chi Minh City has advantages and disadvantages that need to be overcome in order to build a more sustainable tourism brand.

Reducing Recidivism

The paper addresses one of the causes of criminality in Romania: poverty as result of the lack of qualification and formal jobs, particularly in the case of those committing crimes against property. Although there are policies aimed to reduce the causes that generate crime and recidivism, their effectiveness has not been evaluated so far, the only indicator being the statistical one. Contrary to expectations, statistically, the recidivism rate in Romania is increasing. In this context, there is the opportunity to initiate partnerships between the business environment and the penitentiary system to increasing turnover. In addition, it can also address social issues such as qualification of detainees during detention, reducing anger and aggression by engaging in productive and structured activities, increasing the post-release chances of employment, education through and for work, increasing one's own income for prisons and reducing the risk of recidivism after release. The article presents the multidimensional opportunities of a public-private partnership, with an accent on the economic and social impact for the entrepreneur - penitentiary (as a state institution) - detainee - society.
