At present, tourism insurance is in high demand in Ukraine, as there has been a big tendency in recent years to increase the number of people traveling abroad. The reason for such growth in the tourism sector is primarily due to a change in the way of life of Ukrainian citizens, the adoption of a visa-free regime, adequate prices for rest and quality of service provision in comparison with domestic ones. The modern insurance market offers a large assortment of insurance products, which enables it to integrate with other sectors of the economy. Tourist activity in its economic nature is characterized by a high degree of riskiness, and therefore its effective functioning is impossible without insurance. All developed countries have long introduced insurance in the tourist market for the successful functioning of this industry and the state economy as a whole. The issue of insurance in tourism in the Ukrainian market is problematic, as it is characterized by low awareness and trust in the population, insufficient attention from the state authorities. Insurance and tourism are of great importance for the development of the economy. The growth of the dynamics of international tourist flows requires the strengthening of the quality requirements of tourist services and the existence of the insurance market. Insurance of tourism industry is a new type of insurance in Ukraine, the study and analysis of the problems of this type of insurance is not perfect and little studied by domestic scientists, in contrast to foreign ones. The tourism industry always has a certain danger to the life of both tourists and its employees. Natural disasters, accidents and other unforeseen events can affect the balanced activities of the tourist complex. After all, with the development of scientific and technological progress, the natural and industrial-economic cataclysms are not decreasing, but on the contrary increasing. In order to ensure the stable operation of travel companies and to ensure quality recreation for tourists in various areas of high risk, there are various risk management tools, one of which is insurance.

The contribution of tourism to a country’s economy is determined by country risk measures such as economic, financial and political risk. This study aimed to investigate short and long-run effects of country risk factors on international tourist arrivals and tourism revenue for the South African tourism industry. The sample period consists of monthly time series data of tourist arrivals, tourism revenue, and country risk factors from January 2004 to December 2018. Data was analysed using the Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and non-linear ARDL (NARDL) models. The findings showed that the long-run effects of country risk factors on tourist arrivals and revenue are asymmetric. Economic, financial, and political measures of country risk negatively affect tourist arrivals, however, tourism revenue responds differently to changes in these risk factors. Political risk has the highest effect on the tourism industry compared to economic and financial risk factors. Overall, this study established that both international tourist arrivals and tourism revenue are threatened by financial shocks indicating that an unconducive financial environment has long-term negative implications on the South African tourism industry.

Childcare Policy

For many families across Pennsylvania, child care is an ever-present concern. Since the 1970s, when Richard Nixon vetoed a national childcare program, child care has received little time in the policy spotlight. Instead, funding for child care in the United States now comes from a mixture of federal, state, and local programs that do not help all families. This article explores childcare options available to families in the state of Pennsylvania and highlights gaps in the current system. Specifically, we examine the state of child care available to families in the Commonwealth in terms of quality, accessibility, flexibility, and affordability. We also incorporate survey data from a nonrepresentative sample of registered Pennsylvania voters conducted by the Pennsylvania Center for Women and Politics. As these results support the need for improvements in the current childcare system, we discuss recommendations for the future.
